Picture attached. Basicaly, my grow room is in an oversized closet, which has it's own window. The prevailing wind (which is quite powerful) comes in from another room, enters the grow room through an open door, and exits the little window pictured in the grow room. I have a fan on the window blowing exhaust outbound, as pictured.

What worries me is that the smell will get bad enough that I'll be blasting cannabis stink all over my neighborhood, and someone will get wise and tip Arizona's Finest.

I suppose either way I need to deal with this, because during the 12/12 cycle I wont be able to keep the door open which allows inbound air, so I'll need to make some kind of vent duct to bring air in.

I think I can, with a lot of tape and cardboard, make a hood of some type that will marry itself to the window opening that the fan sets in, and then connect the outbound work the scrubber (not built yet) will be doing to that, with a blower fan sucking air into the whole mess from the grow room. Whew.

That still doesn't solve how I'm going to have lots of fresh air during 12/12, since this only addresses exhaust, so I suppose we'll see. I'm sure some air will leak in from the cracks in the door because I'm setting up a negative ventilation environment, but I have time to figure that part out.
darpin Reviewed by darpin on . when does the stink start? 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, Rating: 5
