I have 5 plants in my yard 4 are few days old and 1 a month old.My biggest one is showing pistils and I plan on force flowering it next month. I need advice on hiding the smell, I don't think carbon filters would work outside. My backyards about 10-15 yards long. Does anyone know foolproof ways to hide smell? I would prefer methods other than growing more plants as my yard is all rocks.
There is no way to hide the smell of a plant flowering outside. If the smell is a concern and will run you a risk of getting found out, you better grow them somewhere else. We have a pretty good size indoor grow setup and flower 25-30 plants INSIDE. If we have had the door to the room open during the day and the front door open at the same time, you can smell our plants out in the yard. So you can imagine how easy they would be to pick up on out in the yard. We grew off 4 on the deck and in the yard last year....had them in 5 gallon buckets so I could move them around, and when they got into flower really good toward the end of the plant's life, the smell was so strong that you could still smell them after I carried them about 100 yards away from my house and put them behind a tree line because I was expecting company. Just not a whole lot you can do about it I'm sorry to say. TWW
How do you plan on force flowering a plant outdoors unless they are in pots and you can bring them inside to switch light cycles? There is very little I know for smell control outdoors, I have seen carbon infused topsoils to minimize odor I can't recall the name but maybe someone else can
In las vegas summer days are 14+ hours, measure time and jusy put hefty bag or cardboard box over it so its 12/12. I'll google about that carbon topsoil but I've never heard of such a thing . I wont trip though doubt neighbors gonna know where smell is coming from.
Could you pinpoint the source of smell though? My uncle told me same thing he grew in back yard and whole neighborhood reeked.
Ya sorry I just know it's something they also use in chicken coupes to reduce the smell. I looked more into some outdoor odor control and well, there isn't too much but like you said your neighbors most likely won't be able to pinpoint it.
Up North here we have skunk cabbage plants everywhere. They smell just like they sound. I'm sure you would have a tough time finding seeds or growing it in the desert, but maybe find some other incredibly stinky plant more suited to your environment?
