Does it smell outside?

I got this and hang it in my closet when harvest time comes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YDMWOY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also have a drying box which is basically a 1x2x2 ft box with an intake hole and a pc fan for out take. Something similar to this product https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Herb-D...rying+box&qid=1628212325&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-3.

I would never dry my buds in the same tent i am currently growing just because of heat and potential light leaking which speed up the decay of THC but that is my preference.
 
I can’t because I need to control the smell. It’s not an option for me to stink up the entire house, even though I might personally enjoy that.
 
Thanks to everyone for their input on how these two girls might very well actually be the same strain after all. These are from Nirvana, by the way. I figured that since they’re from a well-established breeder, and they were treated exactly the same, that they would at least have some traits in common. They were both grown completely naturally and untouched: no topping, training, or significant defoliation (I wanted to see what it would look like without any modifications from myself) and still one is about 17” taller than the other (note the shorter one is sitting on a milk crate), the shorter one is thick, squat, and bushy, while the taller one is super lanky and spread out. But, I hear you guys; maybe they’re the same strain after all. I didn’t expect them to look identical, just more similar than that.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, Tersky. That’s a cool dry box, unfortunately it’s not really in the budget right now. I don’t relish the idea of drying in the tent with lights on, but I’m having trouble figuring out a better option without either stinking up the house, stinking up the neighborhood, or spending lots of money, none of which are an option for me.
 
So true! I grow two seeds of same strain often and they never look the same. The taste and smell after it’s all over is what I go by
 
"Strain" may be the wrong word, hybrid would fit better, and an F1 hybrid can have a thousand different phenos come from them. F2s are a bit more stable, with F5s becoming a strain and showing much less genetic differences. I crossed a black domina with BB3, and see 2 different phenos from 3 plants, 1 with long skinny leaves shorter bushier plant flowering first, the other 2 with fat leaves taller and just starting to show flowers.
 
Wow I had no idea, that’s very interesting. I clearly don’t know anything about breeding at all. If you just read seed shop and breeder descriptions, you can be led to believe all seeds of one “strain” are all the same. Thanks for the input. I’ve already decided to just grow one plant at a time from here on out, and only photos. I can veg and train for as big a single plant as I want, and that way I won’t have to worry about timing multiple harvests.
 
While I don’t want to dispute that light can degrade your weed a little I have dried plants in a lit tent where I harvest over a period of days to weeks and my weed still smells great and will do everything you need it to do (gets me HAF anyways). I have noticed that the light has more impact on the colour of your bud - the stuff I’ve left in more light has faded to the brown of tobacco over time, but still potent. I vote if you have no other choice than to dry in a tent you are growing in then go for it, your weed will be fine (assuming your rH is acceptable for drying and your growing crop has no aphids, WPM or problems you don’t want in your jars). I’ve taken to washing my bud so this is less of an option for me these days due to dripping water and spikes in rH when I hang up newly washed weed but it is still possible.
 
Agree completely. I have had wildly different looking plants from same strain and order. I have often wondered if every seed comes from the same giant drum of seeds and the sellers are having a laugh at our expense. Assuming everyone is (mostly) honest it is unstable genetics. The easiest example of this is to look at a human family - both my parents are average height/weight with black hair but us kids are all over the map: I am over 6 feet, thin and had blond hair most of my life, my siblings have blond/red/black hair, we are tall short and in between and stocky/average/thin ( 5 kids). We couldn’t be more different looking from each other. Both left and right handed as well as multiple eye colours. I think the same applies to most living things.
 
Looks like I got lucky and both girls were ready to harvest at the same time, and earlier than I had expected (9 weeks and 4 days since sprouting) with a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes and brown curled in pistils. Thanks to everyone who’s guided me on this grow that narrowly averted disaster at the hands of Nature’s Living Soil (saved by Fox Farm nutes, I’m a believer now).
