In short, yes. I have had smaller plants that didn't smell so much, but some did.

Ive had some realllly skunky plants (they were babies and most turned out to be males so they got the axe) and my first plant ever didnt really smell much during veg, but she's startin to smell reaaaal pretty now that we're headed into flower.

As a general rule the odor from the vegging plants isn't as strong as from flowering ones, and a lot of what determines odor is strain dependent. Still, if you need stealth...

You are going to need to vent your grow-op - suck in fresh air, blow out old air - so it's very easy to incorporate a carbon/kitty litter filter into your exhaust system. There's a sticky with real good directions for building a DIY filter somewhere here in the Grow section. I've made a couple filters from those instructions. It's pretty simple and inexpensive to do.

Here's a link for filter: http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs/99371-diy-how-carbon-filter.html (http://boards.cannabis.com/grow-faqs/99371-diy-how-carbon-filter.html)

Good luck!:thumbsup:

thanks guys for the tips. Any idea if those comercial "odor eliminating" sprays you see on TV would work??

my plant gives the house a nice vegetative smell (not weed smell, just a planty smell)

unfortunately, its room is becoming superoxygenated...gotta get more co2 in there.

but as they said, they will stink way more in flower

You should hope that they do stink during veg! Imagine the stone! Now get to carbon scrubbin.

Some of mine smell pretty bad during veg, alot of times totally different than they end up smelling in flowering. On the other hand, one of the strains I grow has no smell in veg and virtually none in flower, only if you brush against it.
