    Default smell issues, growing in a populated area so need to be very careful, any tips?

    its been a while since i did a grow, in fact its in the grow diaries under ktm's tent of cheese
    at that time smell wasn't such a problem, now i have to keep it really stealth or ill be looking for a new place to rent..anyway as always ill use 8x autopots 2x 600s in a 1.2 x 2.4 tent, i plan to use a short 10" rhino pro filter with a box fan to extract and a small fan intake as i want to create negative pressure in the tent as with sides sucked in slightly i shouldn't get as much smell leakage, i'm open to suggestion on strain as i want something that gives a good smoke, good return but doesn't smell as bad as the cheeses i used to do.. as i have not grown for a few years and not kept up with latest developments i am unaware of anything that is worthwhile where keeping smell down is concerned so any help with this would be appreciated..
    one other thing to get a decent led set up to cover my 8 plants what would that cost now?
    thanks

    if your filter is upto par and as you have said already you also have negative pressure there should be no smell,
    if it's harvest time just hang them to dry in the flowering tent, so no real smell either

    i haven't ever grown a plant that didn't smell strong, anything with 'skunk' is of course gonna be even stronger,


    if ya super paranoid about smell just seal the entire room,

    im buying all new kit so filter will be good , i take it rhino pro is still the one to use? i thought a 10 inch short for a 1.2x 2.4 tent with a 10 inch box fan should be good , ill just have to be careful going in and out of the tent and make sure i close up when i go in,

    as im going to grow from seed i was going to use normal tubes from screw fix untill they are ready for big pots but i cant remember which ones i used to use i think it was cool blue but can't remember wattage can you jog my memory on that please?

    Try heavyweight seeds wipeout express, marketed as a low odour strain and is a bit of a beast! They also do green ninja if you want a photoperiod. Auto seeds polar express might be worth looking at too

    A few thousand for proper leds i wouldnt bother with the ebay ones myself iv been there and came to conclude that good ones are needed for a decent return. Such as the cxb cobs. Or a budmaster etc.
