I was also wondering about odor control, I'm going to be growing 1 northern light plant, and I don't have the money for a carbon filter, would 2 febreeze odor control plug ins work in a room?

what size light do you plan on running? A plant will get plenty big enough in that area once you get the swing of things and you will need some sort of odor control.

I'm planing on using a 400 watt High Pressure sodium light, I only want to grow 1 plant to be honest, and I just want to know some cheap methods to cover up the smell because I live in an apartment and when I open my bedroom door it goes into a hallway where people sometimes wallk past it to go to there doors and such.

4 inch carbon filter and a small inline fan should do wonders. Exspecially if your running a tent. You will gain air exchange and cooling and odor control. Investing in a small filter system would be one of the best steps you could make at this point to being a better grower imo. And the cost will pay for itself when you dont have to stess out about smell. You are investing in long term equipment dont think about the short term goal of a little bud right now.

You will be supprised how much bud you can pull out of a 2x4 area with a 400w light and only having two plants.

How much do you think I'd yield off one plant? and look at this I think this would work 4 inch carbon filter and a small inline fan

I dont know for sure but you shouldnt have any problem pulling atleast 4-6 ounces out of that area once you get the swing of things off two well mantained plants. Are you starting your genetics from clones or seeds?

Im setting up a veg area in a tent that size with two 90w ufo lights right now. Im not running a filter but just running a small booster fan to make the air exchange.

With a tent that small running a filter i would try to run the inline fan outside of the tent. Your going to end up waisting valubal canopy space if you want to cram it all inside of the tent. Your going to want to save as much of that as posible. Do you plan on cooling your 400w bulb? If so it will allow you to get a lot more canopy space.

I don't know how to cool my bulb to be honest, I'm just going to put the tent near the window and have the window have an window fan and i'll have it on intake so that will help with the odor, and I also plan to put a fan blowing on the plant 24/7 in the tent. and I'm going to buy this for the odor control http://www.cleartheair.com/english/bundles/10/dead_animal_odor_eliminator/2.html and I hope that tent will be big enough for 1 plant do you think so? because I don't want it to be to small

read a book simple as that...you dont see people on here with dank ass nugs that didnt educate themselves. people will give you tons of info, about 75% is wrong or could be improved.

go out spend 30$ on a book, learn the terms, lifecycle, nutrient requirements, everything. watch videos on setting up a growroom and take your simple questions elsewhere.

never try to cut corners, youll end up with a headache. plus one plant can rly smell up a apartment, i had one in alaska and as soon as you opened my door u were hit with pine/lemon dank and there was no way to cover it up. it was out of nasty weed too so think about what a dank seed can do.

Oh I know everything about growing and stuff. I just have questions about set ups, because I didn't know that I needed a tent, and I really want to know if northern lights is an low odor strain or not

u dont need a tent but it would be much easier, also if u wanna sell some or plan on expanding in the future start with a 4x4, 4x2 will get old after 2-3 cycles IMO

u obviously dont know how to grow weed, look at the fuckin forums, people grow weed in a pc case, not like every marijuana plant is one universal size.
