First ever grow - smell concern

the smell is even more intense when you harvest.

I'm not super enthusiastic about you hiding the smell from housemates...once you open the closet the smell will permeate the room even with filtering. the whole floor my tent is in gets really loud once I unzip it for a look or if I need to water plants and stays that way for a good while and it's been like that since the week before flower. Even if you're in a legal state (or country) if you're in on-campus housing of any kind I'd be pretty sure that's grounds for removal and possible dismissal from school, so be really really careful.

Get yourself a carbon filter 150cm/3 capacity and a 100mm 100m3/h exhaust fan and that should do you sweeeet

Every strain I have grown has had a noticeable smell. A decent enclosure and vent fan are almost required to have any hope of controlling smell. If you can vent outside is one option or use a carbon filter.

The smell will increase in late veg and gets worse during flower. You will need a carbon filter to minimize smell or your whole apartment/house will smell like a skunks den.

It’s nothing at first until you start getting into the later stage of flower. Most use charcoal filter systems to scrub the odours before exhausting the air out of the grow room. Good luck trying to keep your grow on the DL. Happy growing 🤙
