hello, What can I do to keep the harvest and trimming process discrete? I'm on an apartment and have two big plants. My plan so far is to seal the room door w duct tape and be fast, very fast

If you have a grow tent with an exhaust fan and carbon filter you can use that during harvest & trimming. One way is to do the work inside your tent with the vent fan running. If that is not possible you can make an "exhaust hood" out of a large cardboard box. Have one side of the box open for you to work. Hook your exhaust fan to the box so air is drawn into the box, through the fan and your carbon filter or exhausted outside.

Sometimes it'S not easy to find a way to exhaust your air and keep your grow operation stealth, especially living in a city area in an apartment. I am with you on this one!! But venting is the key. Drying in room with stagnant air is a highway for hay taste and possible mold issues. You can try to hook up an extractor (like the AC infinite the other grower talks about) to your dryer exhaust with a Y connector. This will bring air outside in a complete stealth way. If you live on south hemisphere or during summer, you can use a portable AC connector kit to exhaust discretely by a window. There is also a few good video on youtube about building a stealth fake window for ventilation, or check the tutorial on growweedeasy .com. If you can (weather, space...) you could hang your plants outside for 24 hrs if let say you have a private balcony, put a blanket over you ramp so nobody could see.... Just keep them away from direct sunlight. This will lower humidity a lot. First harvest? The smell is not THAT bad during trimming and drying. Soon after chop smell does not *scream* cannabis, you'll get more grass, forest and humidity smell more than skunky pungeant. Smell usually come back once it is dry and jared.

use a carbon filter,fan and inline tubing, Attach the tubing to the window going to the fan then carbon filter and have it blowing the air out the window. This will create a "Negative Pressure" so no smells will escape. If you have no window then do the same with the door. Have the door open with the tubing going out. then cut out and duct tape cardboard to fill the gap left in the door. The key is "Negative Pressure"
