    Hi. I'm an idiot.
    I should have prepared my grow space BEFORE my plant was 3 weeks into veg, but what can I say now.

    Anyway, i just finished painting the inside of my cabinet grow space with white latex paint. Even though the room is ventilated, it still reeks with fumes.

    Will this harm the plant at all? I can't move it to another room.

    As long as the paint is dry then there are no fumes just smell. So it shouldnt hurt them.

    What I meant was, I have limited living space. I was painting int he same room with my plant close by.


    The room was ventilated but the fumes were and still are VERY strong.


    Any problem?

    As long as you have adequate ventilation I think you'll be okay. But if you have somewhere else to put your girls for a couple hours while the paint dries, it certainly wouldn't hurt.


    I know its not the same as you are talking about, but I repainted my growroom in midflower stage. I just pulled everybody out, painted, gave it a couple hours to dry, then put everybody back. Didn't seem to have any problems from it.
