Do Mother Plants Smell? Do I Even Need A Carbon Filter For A Mother Tent?

I am starting up my first mother tent with a 5x5 tent.

All of my other 5x5's are filtered with ac infinity 8 inch carbon filters.

Ive never kept a mother plant tent, and so im curious if you guys have any experience with the smell or not.

If i could avoid a carbon filter in that tent that would be great, but i like to avoid any smells in my house.

Thanks in advance for any help, i appreciate it very much!

Put this tent on the intake of a filtered tent. You don't even need a vent, and exhaust is filtered for free.
Im lucky enough to have a whole bunch of AC Infinity 8 inch Exhausts laying around that i got for quite cheap, so i figured why not give the mother tent its own AC infinity T8, and just turn the power way down since mother plants dont need as much exhaust.

I really appreciate the idea, and think it is a great idea. I will keep it in mind for sure.

Thank you!

They do smell..but not that intense.
I also would run it into another tent.
You'll need a light trap...secret jardin is selling them or you got a diy job coming up.
But honestly those secret jardin things look like they're perfect. I haven't used one myself though. Maybe someone here who did can chime in

Hey,

Like many stated. Mums are smelly even it's far less intense than blooming ones

Put this tent on the intake of a filtered tent. You don't even need a vent, and exhaust is filtered for free.

That's a great way to have Rh issues in bloom or temp issues in the mums area (specially with LEDs). Can work in some specifics setups tho.
