Recently I have had to undergo several showings at my apartment, as my living arrangements changed suddenly when the owner decided to sell.
I was fairly deep into flower, and I didn't have anywhere to move the plant, nor did I want to stress her at all during this critical time. I had to come up an idea to store her during the showings.
I purchased two moving boxes from the local hardware store, one being a wardrobe box measuring 28" square and 36" tall. I them purchased another moving box that was 24" square and 32" tall.
I would purposely try to schedule the showing so that it was right near the beginning of her dark (night) cycle. I would then do the following:
1. Mix half gallon of nutrient mix with destilled water in a 3 gallon, I do this because it's significantly shorter than a 5 gallon and it allows the plant to fit in the box.
2. Put the assembled smaller moving box inside the wardrobe box.
3. Take 3 gallon and put it inside smaller moving box.
4. Take a black garbage bag and place it over top of the smaller box, like a blanket, and tuck each side.
5. Close and seal the wardrobe box. Done!
I move this around and it looks just like a moving box and doesn't smell at all. I usually only leave her in it for an hour or two at most, so air circulation isn't an issue. After the showing I simply open it up and put her back in the 5 gallon DWC setup that is stored in another box.
I can do this all in about 30mins. So very practical for single plant, short term, no stinky storage!
I'll upload a couple drawings or pics if need be.
