  1. Hey there guys n gals, thanks for taking the time to read this. I need some assistance/advice on the best way to approach this situation. I will explain what I am going to do and my reasoning behind it. Im not experienced at all so any feedback/advice is much appreciated. I would like to set up a grow across 2 rooms and fit as many plants as possible in. The rooms are roughly 4.8 metres by 3.5 metres and I should be able to fit six 120 x 120 x 240 cm tents in each room comfortably. I want to use tents to conceal the smell/light/heat as it is in a block of apartments and I do not wish to disturb anyone or attract attention. This is quite pricey but I couldnt think of another way without altering the apartment too much (drilling holes/screwing walls). Is there any way to bypass the use of tents without sacrificing discretion? If its going to smell Id rather spend the extra money. I want to put 6-8 plants in each tent and put six tents in both rooms making a total of 12 tents and roughly 96 plants. Like I said I am a new grower but time is of the essence at the moment and I wont have to space for long so I want to take advantage while I have it. I am inclined to use a hydroponic ebb/flow system and put the plants on a drip feed timer. I will be growing Amnesia Haze Autoflower Feminized . I also am thinking of using CFL instead of HPS/MH because of heat emissions in the tent and it is a lot more efficient with power (It wont be painfully obvious when someone looks at the electricity meter as 12 600watt HPS I imagine uses alot of power). I was going to purchase equipment on Thursday but just wanted to see what anyone else would do if they had this space in my situation. Remember guys discretion is key for this one and as many plants as possible. Thank you x
     
  2. Would you be able to get to each tent easily to change things around? Each tent would need its own ventilation systems, fans, carbon filters etc, so it would probably be better to go with fewer, bigger tents

    Depending on where the doors are located you could probably fit 2 150x300 cm and however tall you can get in each room, that way you can cut down on some ventilation/complexity troubles. And if you get one with a divider you can use half of one and you can fit a smaller one in the room somewhere as veg tents and the 1,5 big tents as flower tents.
    And if money isn't an issue, I would go with some good LED lights for efficiency/heating advantages. Less wattage = better discretion. Advanced LED and Mars both make some pretty good lights, but some of the DIY stuff is best if you're up for building yourself

  4. 96 plants under cfl? That would be awesome. Please post pictures before the catastrophe.
