First Time Grower, Concerned about Smell

Hey Guys.

First of all, I'd like to let you guys know I'm a long time smoker, but a first time grower. This is my first time posting on this Forum also. Im currently making preparations for my first grow, and I plan to grow about 3-4 plants and see how it goes.

Here is my story. I'm 22 years old. I'm a University Student, which is quite local to me, therefore I'm living at home with my parents, and will be for at least the next couple of years. Basically, my Dad is totally cool with me growing some bud, but my mother however, is very old fashioned, and hates me even smoking the bud let alone growing it.

I have a very stealthy setup in a large IKEA closet, its not ideal, but given my circumstances it's the best I can do. I've done lots of research on growing and concealing the operation but the one thing I am most concerned about is the SMELL.

I just wanted to ask you guys, from experience, do you have any methods for concealing the smell? Besides the obvious things like Fresheners and Incense, etc... I dont mind spending a little extra cash for an effective method, so please let me know where you've had success. I'm gonna order my seeds over the next couple weeks but I just need to know two things:

1. At what Stage to the plants start to Stink really bad (and by bad i mean good
;-) )
2. What is an effective method for concealing the operation in terms of STINK, not just from my old fashioned mother, but from any other house guests?

I appreciate any help you guys can give me, peace.

They stink just before budding and throughout the budding process. The drying of the bud is a whole other potent stink on its own. If you can afford and conceal it you can use a small fan with a guidance system made up of flex tube.

I would, if it is procurable, get a secret jardin dr90 with a carbon filter. The tent, filter, and fan will cost you around $400.00 +/- however it will completely eliminate the smell. The carbon filter seems irrelevant if the IKEA closet doesn't keep the smell contained, so that is something to keep in mind, as well as the reason I mentioned the tent.

Thanks a lot for your comments everyone.

After doing some research I'm gonna give the carbon filter + fan method a go. Will probably order a couple tubs of ONA too but based on what I've read, not expecting miracles from that stuff.

Will let you guys know how I get on, and feel free to give any additional advice you have :)

And smokebros, while that secret grow tent setup looks frikkin amazing, its a little out of my price range :(

Never had anyone smell nothing. Even after smoke session. But o live in boondocks. Getting ready to move so going to have to buy a filter for long .going to buy mine off eBay. Main exhaust fan has went out so I'm ordering kit.good luck
