Could anyone tell me how bad four ak48 are gonna smell? I live in an urban area but i dont want to invest in odor control right now. could this cause issues with my neighbors/landlord?

Yes. Even if you keep veg them for a short period and they flower quickly, they are going to smell things up. The only way I'd grow with no odour control is if I was growing a single, low-smell plant and I lived alone in a farmhouse without nieghbours.
I find indicas especially bad, and I think AK 48 in an indica dominant strain.

Use one for around the home, their super quite and work very well. Solid buy for killing odor in rooms you have visiters in. Not ideal to have inside your grow room.

Man fuck fucken around with chemicals and jars air fresheners. All garbage ozone genrators are a major hazard to breath in, and even just a plain old negative ion generator will make you feel weird. Sleep with one in your room you wont get a good nights sleep thats for sure youll remember all your dreams just weird man.
Best route "Phresh Filter" best resistance air flows right through Australian virgin carbon as long as your temps. dont go really high like above 80 and no crazy humidity it will stop all odours DEAD use a grow tent negative air pressure no smell period. plain and simple when temps go up plants give off a rounchy smell that they wouldnt at lower temps

im not too worried about the smell in the grow room itself because it always smells like the sweet ganja in there anyway, im more worried about the rest of the house im only eighteen so i have my parents over allot and i dont want them to know. willl that kill the smell in surrounding rooms?

iv noticed that allot even in veg they give off a noticeable stench but they seem to hate any temps below 85 the higher i keep the temp the better they seem to do, so i can assume this is going to create an even bigger issue later in flower?

Hey Guys,

ill take whatever advice you can give my motto is an expert is someone thats made every possible mistake in one field . how bad will the heat affect yeilds?
First line of defence should be a proper good carbon filter with the correct flow rating for your setup (not a cheap one). Ive got a Rhino filter. For that to work you also need negative air pressure and not too high humidity. As a second line of defence I bought a bucket of ONA gel with the Ona Breeze fan. Not needed the ONA yet, but reading around this stuff really does work when you need to break it out. I opened the new bucket for about a minute and this stuff is strong like industrial strength odour neutraliser. The 4ltr bucket I bought is rated to 1500sqft which where I come from is an average size house.It is an indica but that is not what i wanted to hear :/ i may have to break down and buy something since apparently im growing four stinky plants
If you want zero smell at all times you will really need a second line of defence. Because when you harvest your bud or your fan goes etc your carbon filter will do nothing. The ONA bucket and breeze I bought was not cheap, but id rather have piece of mind.
Whats the cost of being unable to grow because your neighbour called the cops because of the smell, and they took all your equipment away ? Scroggsy.

I agree. I first started using a small ozone generator for kitty litter and it worked great there. For the price you can't go wrong. Depending on the size of thr grow I would onlu use 2 or so around the area/in the room and you would be good to go. But in the same breath... ypu can't beat a good carbon filter. Different strokes.. etc

i have a dresser that i have gutted,after i get done making it air/light tight(siliconing cracks,duct taping over silicone,then laying mylar)i am putting on a door on the back that swings open on hinges,now my question is,how would i make that air tight?weather striping?
EDIT:how do i set up a carbon filter?do i use one for the intake and exhaust?

So long as you use the correctly rated filter and you buy a good one it should last between 2-3 years. The cheap copy ones don't work very well and dont last long.
No need to make it completely airtight, just make it as airtight as you can. Having the correct sized exhaust fan will keep it in negative air pressure and keep all air running through your carbon filter.
Do some reading on ventilation and carbon filters.

One time i was growen in an apartment next to some indian family, im sure some of u know how indian food smells, well that shit would come through some spots on my side, so that alone made me paranoid as hell i had a hole cut in the wall carbon filter exhaust into another room, wich worked at firs but late in flowering i started to buy ona until i had four buckets opend in the room. Had the plants right in the open inside the room didnt have weather sealer strips on the door. Then i bought magnetic covers for the vents caulked shit i mean eventually got the shit air tight without the ona. Chemicals sprays ozone all bad news. The right carbon filter and a nice tent. And you will get no smell. I was like man another 20buks on ona is it worth it i pictured myself getting locked up so i went and bought it lol. But theres a better way
Apparently Ona can fuck up your bud if you have the jar/bucket in with your plants. Best to keep the Ona outside of the grow area for prolonged periods.

How so/what have you heard? I guess releasing those enzymes could get on the bud and hurt it? Ive heard of people mixing odor killer into soil :/ seems like it would hurt the plants.
