Stealth Apartment Setup?

Ok so I recently changed schools and moved to a different location. The apartment I have now has to be inspected once a month, a very basic inspection that doesnt include opening any closet doors, drawers, etc. I was planning on doing a 1-2 plant small grow in my closet, but there are couple things I need to iron out.

Any suggestions on a cheap grow tent or a DIY on how to make one?

My biggest concern is ventilation and smell. If i can have zero smell and very little noise I can possibly pull off keeping the plants in my closet during an inspection. Ive looked into carbon filters and think it would be a good idea to have a carbon filter, and a fan for the exhaust vent.

Im testing the waters with a 300w LED switchable spectrum light. Spectrum of Light: 430~440nm,450~475nm 620~630nm, 650~670nm, and white, Real IR spectrum: 730nm. 14,600 Lumens

Do you think that would be able to cover 1-2 plants?

Suggestions and Links and appreciated!

there is no way your going to make it unnoticeable if they are walking around doing an inspection.

They do a quick brief inspection, if my apartment doesnt smell like bud, and I silence the fan sound I should be fine

Well maybe a speed controller to slow the speed of your fan (which will be on 100 percent full blast, full noise by default). A muffler can be bought for most size fans to further reduce sound. Both together would really quiet it down. For two plants go with no less than a 6" carbon filter/ fan combo. get a higher grade of carbon filter cannister like a Phresh, wont cost much more. Look into Vortex S line fan, supposed to be quieter than standards.

Hi , is it possible to slow the speed of an inline fan like this fan ?
Will this 4" kit be ok for a single plant grow ?

Hey! I had the same problem a couple years back when I was living in an apartment with room mates. They didn't really care much about weed but they would not have been happy with the smell and a big old conspicuous grow box.

I made my own grow light w/ 3 watt LEDS. About 90 bulbs total. You should really look into building your own its much cheaper than buying name brand LED grow light, most of the stuff you need you can get right off ebay, and you can build it how you want it. just make sure you do some HW.

ANYWAYS.

I made a 2 x 4 x 4 ft grow box. out of plywood as the frame and panda film

A home made carbon filter
https://www.rollitup.org/t/easy-to-build-diy-carbon-filter.7074/
and a 90 CFM can fan
The fan and scrubber were both outside of the box to save space.

I grew 2 autos at a time and it was perfect.

Never had any problems w/ heat, the 90 CFM fan and scrubber provided all the ventilation needed, no smell whatsoever.

The best part? It fit perfectly in my closet and the all my clothes on my clothe hangers in the front even if you opened up the closet you would never notice anything other than the quiet noise of a fan.

Just an idea
