Does it smell outside?

I have two girls growing in a tent. They are supposed to both be Amnesia Haze autos, but as you can see, they are clearly not the same strain. It looks like one is indica leaning and the taller one is hopefully the Amnesia Haze that I asked for, judging from her lankiness.

So it looks like they’re going to be ready for harvest at very different times, and I have to dry in the same tent where I grow. So you can see I’m in a pickle because I’ll have nowhere to put the sativa that’ll finish second while the indica is drying. I think my only option is to move the sativa outside to my deck while the indica is drying.

I’ve never grown outdoors before so I don’t know anything about it. I do have neighbors and I don’t want to be obnoxious and create a constant stank that permeates the air 24/7. So my question is, if I put the sativa outside when it is probably just 2 or 3 weeks from harvest, will it produce a strong smell that my neighbors will notice? I live in a typical suburban neighborhood with 1/3 acre lot and I have neighbors to both sides of me that are physically pretty close by.

Thanks!

I too will be growing some Amnesia Haze autos in a week or so. But the smell is not an issue cuz i'll be doing it indoor.
 
It's going to stank outside lol but it's about the way the breeze is blowing on who will smell it and unless they look for it and it is visible they won't know where the smell is coming from. I just moved into this house and I can smell someone around me smokes weed but I can't tell who it is, I have my suspicions though lol

As for your plants not being the same strain I'm going to guess they probably are. Plants are like people just because they have the same parents doesn't mean they'll be twins, most brothers n sisters don't look alike
 
Do you ever move plants between indoor tent and outside? I want to put my baby outside to get some sun, but Im worried about bringing bugs back inside to the rest of my plants :(
 
Damn ok, thanks everyone for the feedback. Seems pretty unanimous. It isn’t really an option for me to have it stink bad outside, it might sour relations with my neighbors and I don’t want to go there.

Looks like I’ll have to get creative here… can I maybe put the drying buds from the plant that finishes first in a cardboard box inside the tent while the lights are still on finishing the second plant?
 
you are correct, if u bring plants inside from the outside the pests will come with it.
 
If a plant grows in a yard and there is no one there to smell it, does it produce an odor?

It will depend on where the wind is blowing. If you can keep them out of sight, then no one knows where it is coming from. If you can't , then alternate plans are in order.
 
I have to have them in the tent for odor control reasons, I need the carbon filter working on both the drying buds from the first plant and the finishing live second plant. It’s not an option for me to completely stink up my house, despite how much I personally might enjoy that :hard-laugh:

So far it seems like a big cardboard box with ventilation holes sitting in the tent next to the finishing plants under the light might be my best bet.
 
I think if you made sure any light* holes are covered, it should work fine :) just need to maintain humidity and temps like normal
 
Sounds workable if you can keep the temp in the box down. Perhaps a white towel over the box would help a little with heat from the light? 50ish F is ideal for drying.
 
What am I missing in this post? Why would you place the drying plants in a box just because they are in a tent with live plants. Does the light affect the drying?
 
Ive read that drying your buds in light will degrade the terps/ trichomes (pls correct me if im wrong, anybody), but having a hard time finding anything in the GWE pages that say that
 
I thought about it but then I’d need another carbon filter and another duct fan. Starts to add up pretty quick.
 
Could very well what's happening. Last grow I had 5 super skunks and everyone was different. They were all ready about the same time. Kept them separate dry and cure, each one has a little different flavor and aroma, about the same high.
 
True what the others are saying. 2 GG#4 one green bud other purplish/green bud and colorful fade other faded just yellow.
