growing in rental house

I'll take a stab at giving an actual real answer... because lots of people grow on rental property, and someone might want a useful answer other than "dont" Fuck that. The more outlaws that grow, the sooner prohibition will end.

Setup your tent in a locked walk-in closet. Schlage is my favorite lock because they are solid, only 20-30$, and hard to lock pick (lots of maintenance men are good at lock picking).

Learn how to set up ventilation so you suck the hot skunky air in your tent out through a carbon filter so it doesn't smell. Maintain negative pressure so the skunk air doesn't seep out of your tent.

Get ona gel to neutralize the odor when you open your tent, or leave it open for a few hours.

Build a sound box for your inline fan (MDF wooden box or walmart tote filled with foam).

Get a larger inline fan than you need, and a speed controller, and run it at half speed to reduce noise.

Suspend all air pumps and fans with bungee cords.

Quiet commercial air pumps by loosely packing a small piece of foam in the intake port (with the bonus side effect of filtering the air).

Ensure no light leaks from the closet door by keeping your tent zipped up, or lining the edge of the door jam with panda film and magnets... or just a straight up panda film curtain.

Keep anything grow related locked in a closet.

Spend $40 on a Flame Defender automatic fire extinguisher.

Run a power circuit to your closet so you can plug up inside; this way you don't have suspicious power cords running into a locked closet.

Keep a good dog inside when you're not home.

Keep aquarium setup or even just aquarium equipment around the house. A lot of weed growing equipment is also used in aquariums; the lights are used to grow live coral, ph up/down, etc. Aquariums also can be mistaken for the grow room noise.

Grow other plants; this gives you a reason to have nutrients, etc.

Reserve a decent chunk of cash for a bribe. If you can, also have enough money reserved to break your lease and move to a new place at a moment's notice.

Never let your guard down; never tell anyone.

Have a plan B in life in case you ever do get popped and get felonies and can't work in your career field anymore. Weighh the risk impact on anyone around you (children, family, other responsibilities).

I have had maintenance over when I'm not home, smoke detector inspections, pest control. It takes a certain set of balls and trust in your equipment to have maintenance and landlords over with a tent full of bud in full bloom. Always keep your door locked when not home, and use aquarium related shit as your cover story.

I live in a duplex I really don't want the neighbors or neighborhood knowing what I'm doing is there a way to completely eliminate the smell with sealing off room a carbon filter and or a ozone generator??? I haven't started anything but I'm seriously considering getting a few plants going but only if I can keep it to one maybey two rooms in my house I don't need the whole house smelling.

Retired landlord here,
also a retired locksmith....
I would not Grow in a rental, if someone re-keyed to stop my entry I would call a locksmith ( nice to be one!)

a 24 hour written notice is not Required for entry if illegal activity is believed to exist.
read your leases people all leases state you cannot do any illegal activity.

sure it's the law 24 hour notice for inspection etc. but what are you going to do complain to the cops that a landlord didn't give proper notice and now all your illegal shit is either ruined or gone.

Smoke less, buy your smoke build your career!

Its hard as fuck to get a good job in today's economy and you are willing to risk it over some bud??

Priorities Please!!
