Smell cover up

first make a carbon filter for ur exhaust. use sprayers and air fresherns around ur house. and if its so bad outside ur house plant flowers and plants outside that smell alot. that can mask some of the smells

 

First things first. Is your set up isolated and if so, where is it located in relation to your neighbors (i.e. in a bedroom, closet with a shared wall, etc).
Second, are you using fans?
Third, do you have a yard? If so, does it separate you from your neighbors?

Here is a list of ideas for you, depending on some of these answers:
1. If you have an outdoor garden space, plant as much cilantro, garlic, and onions as you can. Basil is good too. These smells are very potent and can often be used to naturally mask the scent.
2. If you have an outdoor space, but it is not a green space (i.e. cement, etc) flush it with a mixture of household ammonia and water.
3. Barbecue, barbecue, barbecue. If you have room outside to barbecue, even on your porch, do it as often as possible as long as the smoke doesn't make its way inside to your little ones. Grilling things like onion, garlic, tomatoes, and peppers easily cover the smell. Tell the neighbors you are taking some type of cooking class and you've chosen to work with vegetables. If you can't find a barbecue, put on an apron and begin baking. Use ingredients like apple and cinnamon that won't negatively alter the aroma of your plants.
4. Line any walls or areas that you share w/ the neighbor with baking soda and lemon wedges.

Commercial household sprays can sometimes be very harsh. I personally wouldn't use aerosols around the plants. You can always try mixing lemon, lime, lemongrass, lavender, coriander, and orange with citrus oil. Shave the rinds and liquefy the mixture. Add to water and use in a spray bottle. This is very potent when concentrated so make sure you don't spray too much if it is not diluted.

 

You can go through all these ideas and little skits and designs to build your own apparatus. And yes they sometimes do work if you get the right one and build it the right way.

But when dealing with something like smell that will attract attention fast to your plants...and dealing with plants that when attention is attracted you go to jail, I wouldnt dick around and risk anything. Somtimes its best to invest.

Go buy a blower around 100 cfm, dayton makes reliable cheaper blowers then get a can carbon scrubber (filter). Hook this up in your grow room with the exhaust connecting to some flexible ducting which takes the warm non-smelly air out from the room.

 

for medium-larger scale indoor grows, darwin is right.. really only a carbon filter setup properly is your only choice. would you rather invest a few hundred in a setup or multiple thousands in lawyers fees because you half-assed your odor control?

 

Let's hope a rookie wouldn't attempt medium and large scale grows-- that's the type of dicking around that compromises cannabis cultivation on even the smallest scale. =)
