I'm growing about 6-8 (maybe less, depending on sex) plants in an indoor environment. I believe the seeds to be Northern Lights, but am not 100%. The guy who gave them to me was an avid grower and told me they were, but I don't trust anything until the check has cleared, so to speak.

Anyway, I have plenty of ventilation in my growing area. A huge amount of air is always moving through during the daytime, and at night it slows down quite a bit, but I have fans pushing through a ton of air, vented outside.

I'm curious about the smell. My venting window is maybe 50' from a sidewalk. Do you think people will be able to smell it from there? When exactly is the stinkiest part of this process? I figure (since I have tiny seedlings right now) I have a while to work on a fancy odor killing solution, but I was thinking that maybe with that much airflow, that far from a sidewalk, that I wouldn't have too many issues.

Thoughts? I'm 50/50 concerned about people smelling it, as I am a drug dog cruising by. One of my ideas was maybe to kill the fans during the daytime, only allow interior venting (still pretty good), and then vent all night long to the outside. That seems kinda overkill maybe.
