Apartment grow
- Thread starter cannabistro
- Start date
hey thaks man that give me a boost of confidence. and i can use it
i droped some cheddar on this set up to make sure it is odor free.
im a little worried about noise
i havent got my fan yet should be here soon. it is a 6'' in line
have to try it out.
I also dont even have a sprinkler in my apartment. it is one of those old style apartments almost like the 70's style motels. my front door opens into the common OUTDOOR hallway. It is similar to the hotel in the begining of scarface. the apt where al pachino gets chained up in the shower. Hope that helps you picture what im saying. The land lord is supper laid back. he tole me and my girlfriend when we moved in that you cant smoke inside but everyone smokes in the parkinglot. I thought it was odd he would tell me that i dont even smoke cigarets. then he elab erated and said he meant they smoke everything in the parking lot except crank
so i think maybe when i say apt people dont invision what my apt looks like
and like i said. I dont have s sprinkler in the apt at all(maybe its not a requirement in this state

newbie, go to home depot and get insulated 6 '' ducting, that should reeaaally help the noise, and iv heard that corners of rooms are like loudspeakers for noise so you might want to egg cartons are something in the corners of your grow room.

Last question, so other then the fire inspection, would there be any other reason for intrusion to the whole place, besides annual inspection, id assume that has to happen.

Landlords renting houses generally have keys to house rentals also. I believe you are incorrect about not needing a warrant. Landlord needs to give 24 hour notice before entering. The landlord cant give police permission to enter your apartment just because they have the key???? LOL

i agree totally,they have to give you notice 24 hours in advance(unless you call them about something broken)

some of the posts in here make me laugh.
i have a 2 bedroom apt and i keep the door locked usually always unless i'm in there. i try not to have people over but when i do, no one notices or even has a clue.
if you do a perpetual grow you should be able to harvest a pound every 2 weeks,
i would try to do as close to a SOG technique as possible.
so the key is to have around 20 clones ready to go in your bloom room every 2 weeks.
i put 20 plants in there at the same time, 10 of them were indicas so i knew they would be done faster, after they were flowering for 25 days i put 20 new ones in, so now the 10 indicas are about to be done, the 10 sativas will be done about 30 days later. so now since the indicas are 45 day strains i will be harvesting twice(one harvest is only 10 plants big, while the next one is 20 plants big) before the sativas will even be done.
so after i chop these 10 i will be putting another set of 20 in there,
i plan on only getting around an ounce per plant, maybe a bit less. because of the short veg time.
i have my room split into 2 sections.
the side with the closet is the veg, and to divide it i built a frame and panda'd to separate the 12/12 side.
i have a property management company but they are not on site.
they send a maintenance guy out every 6 months to replace the smoke detector batteries.
the first year i was able to play it off. i caught the guy as he put the note on my door and told him i just recently replace the batteries because i didnt know they would provide that.
6 months later, with the maintenance guy living across the alley i have built somewhat of a rapport with him.
he seems to have the understanding that i'm the G around here and now he just hands me my batteries when its time and says "here, this is so i dont have to go in your place with out you being there"
now back to the room.
a pound per 1000w is a very reasonable number.
i live in cali and have my card, but it only permits 12 plants.
i'm way over my limit
my bill is around 120-150 per month.
that doesnt raise any questions as long as you stay on top of your bill.
power company is a business just like any other. they have a product to sell and that comes first. so just dont get behind on your bill and you will be fine.
i would say go hydro in my opinion.
its less messy, easier to dispose of when you harvest, neater, little to no insects i guess depending on where you live.
the only thing i recommend is getting a good carbon scrubber, the bigger you can afford the better.
its noisy if you set it on the ground or hang it with chains. you have to hang it and the fan with bungies and robber grommets between the hook and bungy,
just stay low key, dont have people in and out super fast. you will be fine.
i understand the concerns of the other fellas in here, but i think you will be fine if you have proper ventilation and odor control.
sorry if any of this is redundant. its late, i'm high and its time to go mimis
cheers and good luck...

i also would like to add....
doing something this major might make you lose some sleep. so just keep it in mind and prepare for this.

a 1000watt hps in an apartment closet with an exhaust and carbon filter hooked up on each side of the light for 5 plants. Too much light output, you think, for a few plants? not trying to get caught by the chopper or whatnot.

I have tried to pull that off before, and i have to tell thats the worst idea, u might as well grow in your front lawn across the street from a school... its a very unsettling feeling to have knowing they have keys to your place and come in just about anytime. I would definitely think it through and if u decide to, scale it down

When I lived in an older apartment, I never saw the landlord. We also paid the power and gas directly, not through the landlord. I wouldn't be worried about the utility companies, they just want to collect their money every month.

I would like to add that for the growers who are medical, its not very risky for us in terms of legal issues. Yeah, you might be forced to move by the dumb landlord, but fuck the police, they can't charge you with anything.
