i grew in an apartment for a long long time and the trick is negative air pressure in the room, meaning that if the door opens outwords when it is slightly open the air pressure from the room ventilation should be strong enough to close the door. hard to achive but not impossible. in an open room this is gonna be alot harder. plus where would you vent to? i was lucky enough to have a fireplace with chimey that went out over the roof to vent out of and when the carbon filterscame out i got one of those to add on to it. it would have to be airtight everywhere in the room to accomplish this also being on the top floor would help a little. as far as lights go, in a 2 bedroom apt i wuldn't worry about what the neighbors see on the meter spinning as much as the electric man, 12 lights in my opinion is WAY too much for a two bedroom to handlewithout raising suspicion. plus your refrigerator, te fans you have to run and tvs and shit your looking at hundreds of dollars for an electric bill. i don't think a breaker box of an apt that small would handle it, but you know what you got better than i do. i'd say not to run more than 4 1000 watt lights and even that is a bit steep figuring everything else in. 4 thousand watters will cover 4 - 4 x 4 areas 62.5 watts per sq ft. per area. you could probably stretch it to 5 x 4 areas for 50 watts per sq ft. i ever grew that big i hada 1 bedroom with 2300 watts total for the entire grow. whatever you do be very careful man i wish you good luck in your venture. with negative pressure though you should not be able to smell it. a key to this is also no bends in your venting. take the total cubic feet of your room and find a fan that will move double that within ten or so minutes. think restaraunt hoods.
