It’s incredibly hard to hide the smell of a grow. Bad weed and great weed both have a huge odor. I grew a mid-grade this year and you had to be close to it to smell it.
I’m making CBD oil from some hemp this weekend and it really stinks up the house.
The only time I ever grew it was during the summer as a 15 year old teenager in WNY.
I planted a few plants on my neighbors adjacent property. If you can picture a 5’ clearing in the middle of a couple acres of maple saplings. The other was a 4’ clearing in a small field.
They never got more than about 3-4’ tall and just started to bud out. Then I pulled them out of the ground(roots and all) and hung them upside down in a hefty trash bag in the upstairs of the barn.
It was some nasty stuff to smoke. A little harsh as Bill Murray would say.
