Unaware that my wife had changed cable carriers, BAM, an installer shows up bright and early this week at my door. After the install, when my wife was speaking to the installer; I heard him make a comment that our attic smelled “peculiar.” My wife, being a non-smoker and totally clueless, didn’t catch on (luckily) to what the cable dude was hinting he smelt in the attic.
But I DID.
At just before noon that same day, I started tearing EVERYTHING down and by 8pm not a single thing remained at my residence. Now before you think I “may have” over reacted, let me give you a quick background.
About 13yrs ago I use to grow indoor for about 5yrs with no problems. Then the old saying, “loose lips, sinks ships” came to bite me in the ass. My own “step”-sister turned me into the man. She had never seen my grow, but her husband had. A couple dumpster dives by the law man, “unusual” shipments to my house, plus the tip and knock, knock it’s the man (10 cops plus) with a search warrant. Fortunately, my brother-in-law gave me heads up on what my STEP-sister had done weeks before, so nothing to find, but a roach (0.025gm) which they did in fact charge me with. Stupid. Stupid on my part. Didn’t think to look in the ashtray, but the law did. Oh and I was also charged with resisting, because they kept threatening my wife with taking our kid if she didn’t come clean about the grow and I went, well, WILD.
Fast forward, kids out of the house at college, I am not news on our local newspaper anymore and mostly new neighbor’s so I started again.
This time I did NOT even tell my wife what I was up, even though she covered from me last time. Me and only me knew what was up, period.
About a month or two ago, my wife asked me if our dog or cat had taken a dump in the basement, because it smelt like shit. I “had” 1. G13 & 1. Critic Kush in a 4’x4’ grow tent with no real filters down there. At that point I added two 6” inline carbon scrubbers and continued to filter into the basement. Well a couple weeks ago, my daughter came home for the weekend and made a comment about the basement’s smell. Running out of options, I took both carbon scrubbers up in the attic and vented there.
Well and now comes the damn cable dude.
If I can’t fix this odor problem, I’m left to buy from the streets. YIKES.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
