Keep Ya Weed Game Strong: Tips on Taming That Dank Smell

Yo, what’s good fam? If you’re like me and live in a place where growing cannabis is illegal, you know that keeping your plants on the low is crucial. One of the biggest giveaways when it comes to growing this herb is the smell. Everyone knows the smell of weed, and it’s not exactly discreet. But don’t trip, I got you covered. Here are some tips to keep those terpenes under control and keep your grow on the DL.

First things first, if you’re growing in an enclosed space like a tent or room, you need to make sure there’s a constant flow of fresh air. But at the same time, you don’t want the smell of your plants to leak out with the air. That’s where a carbon filter and extractor fan come in handy. The fan pulls in air from your space and passes it through a carbon filter which captures those stinky terpenes before they can escape. Easy enough, right?

Another option is an air purifier. Air purifiers have filters that trap small particles and pollutants, leaving clean air to pass through. They won’t completely get rid of the smell, but they can definitely help.

If you’re really trying to be incognito, you can grow low odor strains like Northern Lights, Blue Mystic, Jack Herer, and Early Pearl. These strains are designed to be less pungent than their high-odor counterparts.

A technique called companion planting involves sowing beneficial plants in close proximity to your weed. Some plants emit smells that help repel pests, while others attract helpful insects that take care of unwanted critters. A mix of lavender, basil and chamomile can do wonders at masking the smell of weed.

Ozone generators may also reduce smells by reacting with odorous chemicals like terpenes. But word on the street is that there’s not enough evidence to prove their effectiveness.

Odor neutralizers and gels are also pretty effective at removing the smell of weed from the air. Just be careful not to put them too close to your plants or they might mess with their taste and smell.

Finally, make sure your grow room or tent is completely enclosed so no leaks can escape. And plan ahead! Think about how much space you have available, how risky it is in your area to grow weed and how much you can get away with before you even start your grow.

So there you have it! Follow these tips and keep your grow on the DL. Happy growing!
