Would there be "smell damage" to the home from small grow in mylar tents?

[drdoodle]

How long does the strong smell stay in a home after all growing has ceased and its been aired out? Does it cause permanent damage? I'm assuming size matters. For instance, a small 4x8 tent with 8-10 flowering plants + a smaller 3x3 tent for vegging/cloning and another 3x3 tent for drying/curing. all have fans+ducting to a big screened window venting into private sealed off garden area outside.

I know the house will reek of weed from the flowering plants no matter what, but am I wondering if there will be long term damage from the smell?

I also know smoking weed causes less damage than smoking cigarettes(which cause a lot) but I've never heard of growing to cause permanent "smell damage" but have a worried family-member-in-law.

I tried to google and search here for answers, but not a lot of mention of 'long term smell damage' except on sites that seem to have extreme bias against marijuana. Some say ridiculous things like 'a home that used to hold a marijuana grow can have lingering thc in the air that can harm a pregnant woman's unborn baby' so its hard to believe anything on those sites. I also found realty sites that rant and rave about mold damage caused by turning a whole basement into a humid green house or structural damage from DIY ventilation installation cutting holes through walls and insulation, but that is all irrelevant if the grow is in tents, non invasive to the house, and well vented.


I think growing in Mylar tents that are vented out into a garden, there would be no remaining/lingering smell even a month after removing everything/airing the room out? Is my assessment correct? Or does a home smell like marijuana forever even after all traces of the grow are removed?

I'd love any resources on the matter if anyone has any, thanks.

I wouldn't consider the smell "damage". I like it better than any cologne.

If you grow in your living room non-stop for years on end, you would probably encounter some smell-damage. If the smell isn't directly infiltrating are circulating through your house for months/years on end, you should be ok.

I count it as an improvement...floral garden aroma's throughout the house.

"I know the house will reek of weed from the flowering plants no matter what"

Not if you properly filter and ventilate it. If you smell weed in your house, you are doing something wrong.

Negative pressure keeps all smell (except when you open the tent for a while or are harvesting/etc) from going through the house. Dont ask what happens if the power goes out

If you grow a 4x8 tent without filter and ventilation your entire house will reek of weed (not a little, a LOT. I'm not talking "hey what is that smell it smells a little piney", I mean "Dude did a mexican cartel setup a MJ manufacturing shop in your house") and it will also smell outside your house, I'm not kidding. Buy a carbon filter. Cost you $100. If you ventilate without filtering, it wont smell inside, but it certainly will outside, it its going to be obvious you are growing weed if you are upwind within 1000 yards of another human(including meter readers/mailmen/etc).

Unless you're mixing organic ferts on your living room carpet I doubt there will be any long term damage regarding smell. Cooking would likely cause far more.
