To those of you that need/use a exhaust/venting system here is my question. During "budding" when the smell increases, have you ever lost power for a few hours? My question is when that skunky/pine smell is becoming pungent and is being exhausted through the vent and power goes out for 3 hrs (for example) can it permeate the house or area with smell? Could one put baking soda or something to lower the smell in the growroom to buy time?

If you were to loose power for a while the smell would very likely permeate an entire house. Baking soda does nothing to decrease plant odors. The best option is getting a high capacity UPS to run the extraction fan when the power goes out.
