Im planning on growing 2-3 plants outdoors this year. but because I cant really hide them around here (kids go out trailing n such, find the shit somewhere in the middle of nowhere, and take it or talk about it till it gets ratted out). So I m thinking, I got a small spot beside my house sarounded my fence. the front of the fence is covered with bushes and trees, and nobody can virtually see in unless they where to peak over the fence from my neighbors yard. he ussually comes in from the back(works alot) and walks from garage to the door. so Im not really concerned of him being nosey or anything he always minds his own bussiness and is a nice guy. Im jus concerned of smell maybe. will it be a strong ass smell that will cover the whole neighborhood or because of the open space will it jus smell like a fresh plant? or not smell that much at all? im planning on sarrounding them with some tomato plants. and possibly training the plants so they stay at that hieght. and just bush out. most seeds I have are most positivly from indica strains. so Im expecting them to be smaller and a bit bushier. I also have 4 white russian seeds that Im hoping to get a female out of. sooo ya hit me back with some replys and suggestions.
As long as you have a little air circulation (breeze) going on most of the time, I wouldn't worry too much about the smell of a couple of plants outdoors. It doesn't take much, just enough to "move" the leaves a little bit. Indoors the smell accumulates, in the box or room, according to how long it takes the air to circulate. Much like a teabag trapped in a cup of hot water. The longer the tea steeps - the darker the water gets. If you put that same cup in the sink and run a continual, slow, stream of water into it; it will overflow (circulate) and never get very dark. Outdoors there is no container to trap the air, just a slow moving river of air. Imagine if you do away with the teacup and just suspend the teabag into an endless river of hot water - the tea color dissipates so rapidly that it is hard to detect. Smell works the same way. That's why 1 dog turd can smell up a whole house - but out doors you practically have to stick your nose in it to get a whiff!
The smell should just cover it's general area, say about 8 feet at the most and depending on the wind, if it's next to something blocking wind and the weather, rainy, muggy, what have ya, the muggy and hot weather seems to kick it up a notch. This is based on some experience I'ved had, can't say that what you have will be more skunky than what I had. Another thing you could do is plant another plant in there that can kind of mix it up, like peppermint plants or something, but that as well could even bring people to it. Just have to think about it and decide what you can work with.
One of my plants is about a foot and a half tall and I can already smell the distinctive smell within 4 feet of the plant, lol. Maybe this is a good sign
