My recommendation would be to save a little extra money and factor a carbon filter into your plans. Even if your situation doesn't necessitate doing it for security and stealth...if you're responsible enough to respect the fact that you're growing in your parents space with their understanding and you therefore don't want to offend them in that situation, well, then I think a carbon filter would be perfect for you.
You can easily construct one yourself for substantially less than the pre-fab units are being sold, but a good fan/blower is
always a smart investment to make. It will depend on the type of grow room/space you can dedicate yourself to of course, but there are many, many ways to go about carbon filtration...so I think it's something you might want to consider and eventually look into.
A great benefit of growing your own is that you'll get to taste the full and subtle development of a well fed, well cared for, well cured flower cluster. There is some well manicured high quality bud available on the street no doubt...but in my experience it is rare and widely spread. Not to mention usually far too expensive for your "average" regular to heavy smoker (IME, once again). It is my opinion that if you stick to a single strain which is genetically inclined to be less fragrant, you will
seriously be missing out (well, it's purportedly less fragrant anyway...I have no experience with that strain, or DP in general... On a side-note can I give one big tip though..? CAREFULLY research genetics and exactly what you're getting from who...genetics are very important IMO and not every seed bank/breeder is operating with honesty, producing quality seed and contributing to the spread of truth...in fact...almost none are...
).
Imagine standing in front of a plant as it's glistening and trembling, as it pulsates in the light, bends slightly in the wind, and throbs with heat...presenting itself to you in full, aggressive blossom...pumping the sometimes overbearing, always subtle and diaphanous fragrance of its flowers into the space...for me this can be a
near mystical experience. The wall of variegated smells that accompany this experience makes up no small part of its total effect. If you think Cannabis smells amazing when you cop it from a sketchy buddy and pull it out of a zip-loc baggie...well, that simply has nothing on the overpowering sensory explosions thrust upon you by a blossoming plant. It is part of the experience, IMO, and smell relates directly to taste in our considerations here. That is part of the utility of proper curing...why would you want to find a short cut around this in growing? It is a massive part of the Cannabis experience which most people are denied because of our oppressive drug laws, don't cheap out on your grow space and deny yourself of it.
I think if more "square" people could stand in front of the naked green splendor which is a grouping of healthy Cannabis flowers exuding their mutli-layered beauty, well...more people would understand a) how absurd it is that we're persecuting this life form and b) just what it is
we all seem see in this plant.
Edit: Just as a side note, and hopefully not an offensive one...as I don't intend it as such...I believe threads of this nature should be going into the Vapor Lounge area. If it is specifically a question about preparing bud for vaporizing, and how one might go about "after-market" flavoring...then yes, that would make sense as part of General Vaporization Discussion. However if you're talking about curing and plant genetics etcetera, that should make its way into the Vapor Lounge. Unfortunately that is the nature of this place at the moment, and we will inevitably be going through some growing pains around here soon re: organization...yet again, I flaunt the trusty
.
Otherwise, maybe a hint of mint for middlin' weed. I'll take the good stuff as is.
