Can you describe the smell?

Yo, my seeds arrived today. I did research on low odor strains on the internet and bought northens light and jack herer autoflower. They gave critical + 2.0 autoflower as a gift.

My plan is to grow 2x Northens Light 2x Jack Herer 1x Critical + 2.0 in total 5 plants on the balcony. I will do it in 10 liter pots. I live on the top floor of a high-rise residence.

Exactly what smell awaits me? No one will report me, I have no problems with security, but I still wonder about the smell. When it starts to bloom, will it emit a scent as intense as if someone sprayed a few sprays of perfume on it a few meters away? Will my downstairs neighbor constantly smell these plants while sitting on his balcony? Critical + 2.0 lemon smell is dominant. Why should the smell of lemon bother people?

What exactly is this scent? Would it be an advantage for me to live on the top floor? I smell my grinder and it smells amazing, it makes me ecstatic. Will such a scent emanate from the flowers?

It will be my first growth, I'm really excited. I will start Grow at the beginning of May, I was just curious about the fragrance. I wonder if there will be an odor in the open air that would bother the people downstairs too much.

Yes, will be lots of smell when flowering. I had 5 plants in hoophouse last year and my neighbor could smell them 30 meters away. Some plants make less odour but all of them smell. I like it but not every one does.

"as intense as if someone sprayed a few sprays of perfume on it a few meters away"-exactly

Then, not only my downstairs neighbor, but also 4-5 flats living in my downstairs will smell it, and even the people living in my opposite building will smell it. My downstairs neighbor is fine, but the smell of this in so many apartments makes me paranoid. :oops:

Why be paranoid if no one will report you?

It's gonna be stanky. Do you have air flow in the closet? How will you maintain 60% RH and 60 Degrees?

I actually don't know much about drying and curing. dude this shit is a simple plant that anyone can easily grow. I'm just going to grow, harvest and drink straight on my balcony. Unfortunately, I do not have a professional indoor setup. GH Tripart fertilizer, 6.5 pH setting, Biobizz-Light Mix soil, flush and drying in a crappy box or cupboard, putting it in a jar and enjoying. If I had done it professionally like you, I would have taken care of every detail, but unfortunately, my only option for now is simple growth on the balcony.

Why the hell do you think i don't grow? I'm paranoid just smokin' half a doob on the porch every night.
That's half the reason i'm trying to learn how to do tinctures, so nobody'll smell it when smoked.
And then how can you make a tincture and decarb w/o the odor? I did it tho, only my decarb failed.
I'll try again. I'm gonna double oven bag bake nugs for an hour at 250 degrees, then open them outside
after they cool off. Then put 'em in Everclear and extract. Which i'm sure will fail again. Fuck am i in a bad mood.

Not only the cops but the weed theives will want it. Remember the magats hate cannabis. I know people
who hate the smell of it. Yeah, and curing, how's that gonna work.

7 months ago, 2 friends were scammed by a dealer. I haven't smoked since then. I promised not to drink until I did this myself on my balcony. I'm really fed up with these nasty people. I placed an order to a country with very problematic customs, taking a risk. Most seed sites do not take orders and do not give guarantees because of our country's customs. Still, I took the risk. I received 10 auto seeds today. Even though I asked for a secret package, they sent it in a non-secret letter. If customs had opened that envelope, they would have found the seeds in 2 seconds. But I was lucky and customs never opened that envelope. I was very happy today, but the comments made me nervous and demoralized.

What path should I follow guys? If I plant 2 plants instead of 5 plants on the balcony its okey? it's already Jack Herer and Northens Light. I've looked at over 10 sites and these two were among the Low Odor strains. If I reduce 5 plants to 2, will all apartments and the people in the opposite building still smell this? Or does it make the most sense to set up a minimal 2-plant indoor setup? A simple 100-150w Led, carbon filter, 80x80 tent etc. Or a more minimal one-plant 40x40 tent.

I haven't been smoking for a long time, I don't want to deal with drug dealers, I just want to smoke half a gram in the evening, play games, watch movies, have unconscious munchies and sleep peacefully. That's my only purpose. Please find a solution, my dear brothers and friends. Most of you are experienced, I respect your experience but I am in a really difficult situation.

I'm facing the same thing as you. It's illegal to grow w/o med card. What about where you are?
I have been imprisoned for this in the past. Jail isn't an option for me again. So, i don't grow.
I doubt that I would even if i had a med card because of social stigma and thievery. You sound
pretty 'noid about this, so maybe you should just save your seeds until your region legalizes it.
Speaking of seeds, in usa, i've heard, due to the fact that seeds are like below 2% THC, that the
DEA et al won't arrest because it's not considered enough THC. In other words, as I think I have
understood it, you can buy/sell/mail seeds w/o legal problems. But do not take my advice on it. I'm no lawyer.
