Hello again I am having a little problem and have a silly question for you all. I have a small closet built into my house the only space I can use to grow my first MJ. The problem is this is in the center of my house i.e. there is no way I can vent the air in there what can I do? Also I dont realy want the air venting into my house dont realy want the neighbours to know I am growing MJ.
For some reason I had forgot about the venting, the temp is fine not to hot in the room during my test run. I thought that using No Mercy Co2 Tabs would solve the Co2 lack in there??
Is there any other alternative and is is possible to grow without venting using other artifical means??

are there any air conditioning vents that go above it or anything? you really need the fresh air and supply of CO2 to grow well. if all you have is that closet i would try to find the closest vent in the wall and try to connect to it. not only do you need fresh air but also a place to exhaust hot/stinky air. hope this helps

It's certainly possible. Most things are if you have $$$.

As it is...no filter..no intake/exhaust....your house will reek big time once things start to grow....even in veg.

Co2 tabs may help but you'll still be far below the levels the plants COULD be using. You'll also go broke/insane trying to keep up...when all you really need is some fresh air.

A fan/charcoal filter set up may be able to be utilized. Hang the fan up high in the space....blow into the filter sitting outside the closet. Air will be sucked into the space via the fan...and ejected outside the space. This will at least cause some air exchange in the space...

the other option is to spend the $$$ and buy a CO2 tank/regulator and that same fan/filter combo and SEAL the closet off from outside air////using the Co2 from the tank only to replinish the levels.

otherwise..you need an intake/exhaust/etc in your current set up.

good luck. "Where there's a will..there's a way".

What is above your closet? Can you post some pictures? If it is an attic above then you can vent the hot air into the attic, throught a filter, and also add some grills to the door for passive cool air to come into the grow and it could look normal if you do it right, like a vent cover. If this is your own home, it won't matter but if you are renting, that is a whole different thing. Then you might have to replace or repair the door when you move. You must have some form of exhaust and filter or you will smell it everywhere.

Peace

Even if only two plants, the whole area will reek in full bloom?

Smell Big Time. Count on it.

Other than smell, does the grow need to be stealth?
ie, do you leave the door to the closet open at all?
The door to the room at all?
There is whats called a door corner fan, mounts up in the corner
of the door frame. Made to move air past the door header.

You don't say what size/type of lighting.

Sorry been working away the past couple of days. I am going to put off my plantation in the closet and invest in a Grow Tent. Sounds like the easyest way forward for me. Thanks for all the replys guys owe you all one. You saved me alot of time and effort and money.
