First thing you have to do is consider your environment and what you have to work with. You should base your whole setup around the constraints of your area and do not exceed it. Dont grow at home in your parents house or property, dont do it. No to rental property as well. Next, dont tell no one anything about it, never. Yes there will end up being a select few, but hopefully you really know who your friends are. If you dont do anything stupid like getting drunk and talking about it, grow away man, have fun and good luck. Also know your local laws and take whatever you want, just weigh risk versus reward.
