Nice photos everybody!
Quick question about outdoor growing:
If I were to plant 3 Sour Diesel plants on a small balcony on the top floor of a 5 story apartment complex, how much will it smell with regards to neighbours?
I grew 3 Northern Lights indoors last summer just on the window shelf,
al naturale, with great results but obviously the apartment stank tremendously for 5 months.
I'm just curious whats the best move here.
Are none of my neighbours gonna be able to relax on their own balcony this summer due to my stankin sour diesels sneaking into everybody's nostrils?
I posted a thread about it just now called "
3 square meter balcony outdoor grow - Sour Diesel - Will the neighbors smell it?"
Any feedback highly appreciated.
Cheers and happy growing!
how wonderful it is to be able to see everyone's grows! it never ceases to amaze me what a powerful entity this plant is...every day i grow more entranced by them (no pun intended lol) :)
@Buzzer777 has your back. they will DEFINITELY be smelled. Even in veg. And especially SD!
So strange how things change, right? Weed is now illegal in Amsterdam but legal in much of the US??? pigs are flying apparently.
your situation takes me back to the bad old days living in new york. in 1991, several of us had to leave tour or risk imprisonment, so we went home and started growing. this was in cramped apartments surrounded on all sides by neighboring apartments jammed into tightly packed buildings with zero airflow. the hallways were virtually hermetically sealed, so just the slightest change in pressure would pull the wonderfully smelly air right out of our rooms and right into our neighbors' noses. BUT THIS PLANT HAD PLANS. BIG PLANS. that's when 'chem dog', which was not what we originally called it, came crashing into the world.
it was just like the situation you are in now. as
@Buzzer777 says, cultivation was way more dangerous than possession. and smell was by far the biggest risk. don't put yourself in harm's way. if you're renting, you could easily be kicked out, if not prosecuted. even if you own your apartment, the building owner could cause you big trouble.
but you are in an ideal situation--you live on the top floor. top floor apartments were always the ideal. you have a perfect place to vent into--the air above you. can vent the air out and up. but you still need to scrub!!
i'm sure there are many more folks on this site that can tell you more about that than me. but i'm happy to help in any way.
