I'm in week 3 of Flower and a wonderful skunky smell is filling my apartment.

The problem?

A wonderful skunky smell is filling my apartment.

My current setup isn't contained or airtight, so a carbon filter exhaust setup is out of the question. I have picked up an Ionic Pro, a Fabreeze air filter, a couple lava rock bags, and some assorted odor absorbers... and each item I add gets a little closer, but there's still an identifiable aroma.

I picked up a bag of gourmet coffee and dumped it into a wide-mouthed candy dish by my door... and now when I open my door a wave of coffee goodness hits me.

My question... is that suspicious? On the one hand... maybe I'm a guy that really likes coffee (I am)... but on the other... it is a HUGE coffee smell (I caught a hint of it on the ground floor - I'm up on 3rd)... is that a red flag that I'm trying to cover up some sort of odor? I have a catbox in my entryway... I suppose I could claim that I'm trying to mask that.

Thoughts?

Odor control is your top priority, or else you will get caught.

Where/how do you have your area set up?

Your coffee idea is not bad, no one really gets suspicious with coffee smell. But filling the building with coffee aroma 3 months at a time can raise suspicions.

I have a cabinet grow, but the smell still fills the apartment. What I do, is keep some bowls full of water in every room and add some drops of aromatic oils, the one's you find in new age shops. They cover the smell nicely and make you just seem cool and feng shui.

can you possibley seal our grow box and use a carbon filter? odor is a big way of getting caught. The coffee isn't a bad idea, but you should work on a permanent solution.

Grow strains that dont smell super bad. That would help.You can use a carbon filter like a scrubber also and not vent it outside just let it clean the air and re clean the air.Ya dont have ta just vent outside the scrubber will help just scrubbing.Combine that with a low smell strain and ya should be fine.....



good luck

You can try using Ona Gel, this will work very well for your scenario.. I don't think a strong smell of coffee would raise eyebrows..as opposed to a strong smell of dank skunk!

keep in mind that your nose is trained to that smell cause you are ingulfed in it all the time. if you can smell the skunk when you open the front door and enter your house. other people who are not trained to that smell can smell it sooner than you can. These people are probably smelling it in the hallway, every time you open your door you are allowing smell particles to escape.
