So okay today I had an electrician come by and install 2 dedicated circuit lines.
One for each 1k ballast and ac unit. So I'm running 2 1000 watt light set ups and 2 ac units.that's covered..as well with the other stuff inline fans and exhaust fans
My ask for helps comes with this question...
Seeing that I rent I can't make holes or anything of that nature.my landlord didn't approve of that but did approve of converting this room to a grow room.
So I went and got myself some 2x4's and 4x4's and starting building the frame.
Frame is now finished but I'm left to ponder what I can use to prevent light from entering as this is gonna be my flower room only...
So any ideas on what to use?
I was thinking of buying some tarp...
Any suggestions would be great :eyesmoke:

Also...for my windows how can I prevent light from entering..I know I can board up the windows but I rather not make holes..maybe some tint or????? b

board up the window. make sure you have some type of window covering too so it doesn't look like a board in a window. More important to keep the smell in and thieves out, while also preventing light. You want to make it look completely normal from the outside. Now that you have the window boarded up. You can make the holes in the board over the window, thus eliminating holes in your walls. If you are worried about the screw holes, don't be. They sell ready made products for filling tiny holes like that. All you do is a little bit of "touch up paint" to all you patched screw holes.

What's up chronic..yea I boarded the windows up from the inside made it look nice can't even tell there's board on the other side..but what I'm trying to get at is what can I use to wrap around my wood frame I built..the light leak has gone away but landlord wants me to wrap the room up so the smell doesn't stick to his walls.so I built the frame it's 10x10'all around now just need something to wrap it up doesn't have to have a door not sure if I'm making sence..trying to make it like a tent but with no door my grow room is completely dark

you should invest in the DR150 Darkroom Grow tent
What's up yea a tent is what I'm avoiding I have several but decided to not use em no more since my landlord is koo about me growing cannabis..so I started to build up my room made a 10x10 frame lights are in place already..I'm basically ready to grow just need advise on what to buy to wrap my frame up..
I was thinking a black tarp all around and inside use my Mylar rolls..kinda like a huge grow tent you can say..

I agree with chronic... that's the easiest thing to do and can be made to look clean. What I want to know is does your landlord know its a mj grow room you're building or does he just think its for regular old indoor veggies and such? Because regardless of what you told him you have already attracted attention to yourself cus now your landlord is aware that you're definitely growing SOMETHING in there!

What's up ebb n flo. Yes my landlord knows it's cannabis as he is a prop 215 patient as well.with stage 2 cancer.
He just doesn't want holes all over the room..but I'm free to do anything I like as long as he gets his rent by the first.
