Painted grow room is it toxic

[Cpip1218]

i just spray painted my grow room I have had a fan at the door blowing all the fumes outside.

My question is, is it safe to move my plants back into the room tonight.

Thanks

What kind of spray paint? Being a graffiti artist that has sprayed thousands of cans, my bet is that you want to let that room ventilate for at least six hours (with good ventilation) before people or plants should go back in there.

Rusto flat white is a 'dry' can, so if there's good ventilation while you painted and perhaps a couple hours afterwards, you should be ok.

If you can shut all doors for 10 minutes then go in for a few minutes without being overwhelmed with fumes, your plants will be alright. Just make sure you have decent ventilation even after the plants are put back and doors are shut.

Keep monitoring, but you should be ok. Other than professional paint cans (Montana etc), rusto flat have always been my favourites, and I know them inside and out (literally and figuratively).

Lol, I would just go in there and if my lungs started to burn or eyes started to water, you know.
