I wouldn't grow in that spot, dude.
I know all the other people on this thread are gonna bash and say "ah, fuck the police, ain't nobody gonna stop you from growing", but it really sounds like that place is 100% the worst place ever to grow weed.
It was a bad idea when I thought you owned your own condo, in which case maintenance men still come by for inspections pretty regularly, but it's 100% Fuckedville that you're actually subletting (sp.?) - those owners can and will stop by unexpectedly to make sure that you're not fucking their shit up.
Add to that the breaker box and access to water lines and shit, and it's just a no-go.
And the nail in the coffin is what you don't understand - landlords have to give 24 hours notice (in most cases) EXCEPT FOR EMERGENCIES - if there's a busted pipe, the maintenance man isn't gonna wait 24 hours to go busting down your door and shutting off the water.
So your WORST CASE scenario isn't having to break your grow down quickly and move it; your worst case scenario is coming home to an open apartment door and police mulling about your living room.
Sorry bro, but it ain't happening - enjoy your music and smoking weed, and just wait until you're in a better place to actually grow it - better safe than sorry.
Real talk.
damn bro when you said condo i thought you meant condo not apartment. i hated growing in an apartment because the manager sent his maintenance people out to do bull shit inspections 4x a year at least... always some dumb ass reason like they need to check the hvac filter or that someone in another apartment said they saw bugs so they need everyone to empty their cupboards so they can spray.
man i'm becoming depressed just thinking about apartments. rent a house or a condo with the money you saved up after this year in the apartment.
I took the decade of my 20s (from 21 until 29 last year when I picked back up) off from growing pot, mainly because I had some sort of moment of enlightenment when I walked in my apartment building and instantly smelled my grow.
I enjoyed life, smoked tons, and did tons of awesome things that I'll be able to look back upon for the rest of my life.
I also had a few apartments and houses that I rented by myself, but with a landlord able to barge in at any time, I just didn't feel comfortable growing an illegal plant on the premises.
Now I'm at a spot that my girlfriend owns and I'm fucking going berserkers building out the pimpest of pimp grow spots that I can dream of, including some $2K PVC vertical octagon contraption that I'm about to start building.
Long story short, there's plenty of time for you to grow - you're a kid.
Don't do something stupid now that you're gonna regret for the rest of your life.
And trust me - as a 30 year old with more money than I really know what to do with, building out your own worry-free weed laboratory is tons of fucking fun.
Enjoy your 20s stress-free..............plus dude, you live in fucking Canada? Weed's free there anyways, and you're not going to be able to get more than $2/lb for your first 10 grows because of the supply issue.
Just my $.02; I swear I'm done preaching to you at this point.
Promise; anyways, best of luck to you whatever you decide.
After reading my explanation about my specific scenario, you think i'll measure up to the previous tenants ?? you know what i mean... I hope they used alot of juice... so i don't look to bad in comparison. Some people have like a macbook and a iphone, and that's it as far as gadgets!! I think my laundry and being efficent with other things can offset it a bit (i.em there's a dishwasher in the place, i don't use those thins, i just handwash) ... Just wanted to be clear, i'm not that much of a n00b! :) i know 1k will not bring the red bull drinking, steroid jacked swat team kicking down my door looking for little harmless tropical plants LMAO. Idiots... ( the pigs, not you king):hi
hey there and welcome to the grow scene. We all start somewhere and for most of us indoor growers ity's our first apartment/condo. My first grow was plagued with money problems as for most new growers. However and i dont say this lightly as it has been my experiance smell and heat controle are your two biggest problems with urban growing. My first grow was a closet lined with mylar a couple of 250 watt street lights (no joke) after learning the hard way that the central ac unit venting into the closet and the exhuast out into the bed room that now i was dealing with a smell problem. it's almost impossible i vent outside in these living conditions. Then i discovered the growlab tents. After moving to another condo i decided to do a whole room so i purchesed a 10 x 10 grow lab tent a780 cfm fan and a can 50 carbon scrubber. these tents fans and cans come in all different sizes to suit your grow area limitations. useing 4 600 watt hps lamps i was pulling the air in the tent first through the scrubber then through all my lights and finaly venting out the windo after boxing it in and useing sound deading foam the exhausted air smelled as fresh as dasies. these tent set ups are very clean and very ifficiant leaving the room just as you found it when your ready to move once again. it was like you were never there.
i would say if you really wanna grow, stick with the flourescents only and like 4 small plants max. just do the run straight through so you only need one small space and not a seperate veg space. just switch from the bulbs 6500k to 2700k when you go into flower. they also make vho t5 now which is 7500 lumens vs ho is 5000 lumens. and feliz makes 125, 200, 250w cfl bulbs that are self ballested you just need a mogul socket and a cord with the regular 120v plug. im actually planning on using about 8-10 of them myself for some vertical lighting that wont heat the room up too much. the 125w cfl has around 9000 lumens and you can get it right next to the plant without burning it. i dont know about the 200 or 250w as far as lumens, i was actually going off the specs from a different brand 125w that ive got. anyway, with the flouros you will use way less power and make way less heat which means less of a need for super high powered fans. the fans are what makes the most noise and vibration through the wall or ceiling or whatever. i imagine something like a 2 ft x 2 ft little box or maybe 4 x 2, 4 x 4 seems too big. two tiny blower fans maybe for intake and exhaust with a carbon filter hooked up to the exhaust. getting co2 will probably be impossibe im guessing. they do make the co2 boost bucket, but i have no idea if it really works. just keep it small and you should be good. as a beginner, going small is probably best anyways. and lastly, i would check out autoflowers, if you havent already. they would be perfect for a little grow like that and you can harvest your own herb in 2 months after planting seed. check out short stuff they got the bomb and check out the onyx another member on here grew. he harvested 2 oz off one auto plant, not too shabby. one last idea is maybe take power from the light in the closet instead of running obviously incriminating extension cords in there. i would assume you have a 20 amp fuse since the place is new, just keep all your total amps under that number.
here is a pic of the cfl and reflector combo i have over my autoflower right now and its flowering nicely!
