Will Paint Fumes Kill My Girls

[theroadwarrior]

I need to paint my grow room. How long until I can move my girls back in? I assume paint fumes wouldn't kill them but it can't help.

You didn't say what type of paiint you are using.... but I assume it's latex. Latex off-gasses ammonia when it dries. I didn't paint my room with the girls in there but the smell was still very strong when I did put the girls in. I didn't have any problems but that isn't a guarantee that you won't.

Latex is not all that bad after it dries for 24 hrs. Oil based I believe can be toxic for a bit. I remember seeing this is in another thread. I'm not 100%.

Let the paint dry for a few days in a very well ventilated area and you'll be fine.

You'll be fine. I evaporated some solvents in the attic near my girls' cab with no problems.

play it safe and air it out real good. i've had some wilting and yellowing before after painting a bedroom. also remember all the problems the people had with first generation hydrohuts.
