I didn’t realize it wasn’t country wide. I read about someone saying something about growing in base housing in Canada and it blew my mind. Crazy that that’s ok and another province can say nope.
But yeah it’s hilarious to think a cop could knock on your door and say “do I smell plants?” and you could blow a bong hit in his face and “only dead ones”.
Yeah, it’s weird Manitoba and Quebec prohibit growing. There are also a bunch that don’t allow public use. Different rules everywhere.
You could always just turn off the cmh and move it over. Throw an led vanity bulb up for the few hours to not interrupt the light cycle and keep the tent closed. Unleash a can of febreeze before they show and you’ll be all good.
I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me to just switch it over to the LED for a few hours and I feel dumb right now 
I could shut the tent cause no heat issue with the LED too so no glowing mystery door to see.
I’m in total disbelief that this hadn’t occurred to me but I’m taking some comfort in the fact that you’re the first person to suggest it to! 
Lol I know the feeling man trust me. It’s what’s nice about coming on here, nothing like a fresh set of eyes and ideas…or 20,
Smoking and growing it strikes that creative nerve in my brain.
Fry some hamburger meat and burn some garlic in a pan before your visitors come lol,that will take the smell out of the house burnt garlic stinks
Yes I hope it gets changed soon.
I am hoping for you bud. It pisses me off that a couple hold out provinces are still trying to dictate to people what they can grow on or in their own property.
I would light up some petrouli incense or something that smells way good just my .02
Peace and stay safe
Grab some dead skunk on the road. 
I feel like this is a step backwards for a few reasons…
Scrolled down to look for “cook some bacon” @ReikoX nailed it, works everytime and I have more than a couple tents always in flower.
Yeah I’m picking up a pound of bacon in the morning and rolling with it lol The beauty is in the simplicity!
You’ll be fine turning the lights off for 2 hours. Since they aren’t in flower it wont effect them much if at all.
I’ve heard of people keeping mothers on different schedules to save on lighting energy by turning the lights on and off periodically to keep it in veg without being 24/0 or 18/6 etc. As long as there isn’t an uninterrupted dark period long enough to induce flowering they will stay in veg.
I knew it wouldn’t trigger flower but was more worried about just stressing the plants out too much.
“What a Plant Knows” is an interesting book I’d recommend with some good info. Really cheap too, or free.
Edit: there’s also 2 free courses on Coursera that use the book as material, that’s how I originally learned about it. A ton of interesting/useful info but a tad dry. Can’t complain at all for being free though. https://www.coursera.org/learn/plantknows
I might have grab a copy. Can never have enough info!
Thanks for updating with that. Free is my favorite price
Turn the lights off and leave them off until the next lights on cycle. It won’t stress the veg plants at all. After Hurricane Michael came through in 2018 my grow rooms were without power for a week. The plants were fine a few days after the electricity was restored.
That must have sucked! You gotta worry about a Hurricane to begin with, then power, then oh fuck my plants! That does not sound like fun.
I’m going to put an LED in there to supplement the CMH for a few hours and close the tent up since heat won’t be as big an issue.
For anyone following he didn’t seem to smell weed at all. And now I’m eating bacon
