One of the downsides to growing cannabis indoors is the strong odor that the plants can give off. This odor can be a problem for those living in close proximity to the grower and the smell can sometimes persist long after the garden has been harvested. Fortunately, there are ways to manage and control the odor while growing cannabis indoors.
The first step is to ensure that your plants have good air circulation. Good air circulation is essential as it helps to reduce odors as well as providing your plants with the oxygen they need to grow. The use of exhaust fans and/or carbon filters can be extremely beneficial in keeping the odor under control. An exhaust fan, for example, will suck the foul-smelling air out of the growing space and filter it as it is pushed outside. This will not only remove the smell but will also help to keep the temperature regulated in your grow room.
Another way to control the smell is to avoid overwatering your plants. Too much water can cause mold, mildew and other fungi to grow, which can create a very strong odor. This is especially true if you are using a hydroponic setup. To avoid this from happening, make sure you are only watering your plants when the soil is slightly dry and that you are not over-fertilizing.
Using odor-absorbing products such as odor-eliminating bags, sprays and essential oils is also a very effective way of controlling the smell of your cannabis plants. You can place a few of these products in your growing area and they will help absorb any strong odors. These products can also be used in combination with a carbon filter and exhaust fan to ensure that the smell of your cannabis plants is minimized.
Using a hydroponic setup is another great way to help manage the smell of your cannabis plants. With hydroponic growing, the smell is not only contained but also partially eliminated due to the water-based environment. This can be a great way to keep the smell to a minimum while also ensuring your plants have all the nutrients they need to thrive.
Finally, it is important to also understand that some cannabis strains will naturally produce more odors than others. It’s important to consider this when selecting which strains to grow as this can have a significant impact on the overall smell of your garden.
By following these tips and advice, you can hopefully keep the smell of your cannabis plants to a minimum. Don’t forget that a combination of good air circulation, odor-absorbing products, hydroponic systems and strain selection will all contribute to keeping your cannabis crop smelling well and growing strong.
