i have 4 clones, they are still small and are making hardly any smell.

i just want to know, how bad is the smell at all the life stages? they are upstairs, in a walk in closet, but a fan will be blowing air out of the closet while another blows in.

just wondering how strong the smell is, just so i know what to expect, and what to mask it with

I would say your going to have a problem, how much of a problem depending on strain. I would invest mabye in a small scrubber. just my opinion.

they will stink. you might not be able to tell because you'll become use to it. its the other people who smell it that you'll have to worry about.

Youll be cool for a while. mine are just coming into full bloom now and wreak to high heaven, but i am growing cheese and nl hazes, a scrubber is a carbon filter.

IMO a carbon filter with a good inline fan is a must, and is the first line of defence, my c/f is struggling a bit with my plants at the mo so im having to use some air fresheners around the place too.

Exactly! If i wasnt using my carbon filter my plants would be able to be sniffed out from down the road too, especially in summer with windows open, and i cant have that.

I would use a scrubber , I have 5 plants going in my growroom down stairs in my house and before I installed the scubber I could smell them upstairs in my bedroom .
Check out DYI filters on this site lots of good ideas for building your own scrubbers

Indicas tend to stink more than sativas during veg Once you hit flowering, though, be prepared for a knockout aroma! Either get yourself a good carbon air scrubber or a damned good air ionizer, and I ain't talking those crap Ionic Breezes.
