My wife purchased a 2' x 2' x 4' tall grow tent for some small scale indoor growing. I set it up the other day and noticed it had an odor coming from the inside when I opened it up. Is that normal? If so how long till that smell goes away?
Re: Do new grow tents have a period where they off gas?
The odor will slowly vanish over the next few days. Almost everything that is made quickly and packaged will off gas. Go into a home center or carpet store and unroll a few feet of carpet=stinks, unroll a big roll of unscented garbage bags=stinks, same goes for your grow tent. The good news is that the odor will go away and in a few months you will have a much better odor (buds).
