Hi, I'm about to start growing and had a couple questions. Right now I'm living on the 2nd floor of a 3 floor apartment complex on the corner of a somewhat busy street. I plan on growing in my bedroom. I have the master bedroom and i plan on dividing the room in half. I'll be building a mini grow room on the other side with pvc foil or some sort of plastic sheeting with a zipper door. It'll hopefully be smellproof because i want to have an air pump pumping clean air in from my room and "dirty" air through a carbon coal filter and out a window to a somewhat busy street. What I want to know is if its possible to pull this off without getting caught. If I get a good enough coal filter will smell not be an issue? how much would a high quality filter cost? I also don't really want our entire apartment smelling like weed. I dont mind if my room stinks (i sorta help it does, it'll make me happy ) , but i'm pretty sure my landlord will probably throw a fit even though I have my license and permit to grow. I was hoping on growing like 12 plants if possible. Anything else i can do to cover up smell? second coal filter? or like an air purifier or something? I also heard about things that spray like ether oil into the air or something. Thanks for your help.
If you get a good quolity carbon filter this will filter 100% of any smells. For the belt and buckle approatch use in conjunction with a ozone genorator. A carbon filter will last you around 1 year so its a good investment. I wouldn't recomend making one just spend the extra and get the real macoy.
So your growing in an apartment. Your gonna split a bedroom in half. My opinion never grow in an apartment! maybe a closet. The 2 biggest things that i factor in are, 1. THE SMELL with 12 plants no matter what scrubber you come up with its gonna leak at least in one place . 2. What if your apartment needs maintenance whose gonna come in and see it, what if they need to fix a leak somewhere? Thats my opinion, you might be fine but id be some what weary about it. Good luck dude
Replace the bed room lock with a pad lock, this will stall any unwanted or uninvited visitors (ie-landlord) from seeing what's going on long enough you can tell him your right as a tenant to a 24 hours notice and so you can take all your shit down.
i'd read your lease contract. some places you don't have to get a 24 hour notice and it tells you straight up that they can come in(my lease even says break a window to get in) in some cases. and yeah, splitting a room in half to grow in an apartment is more than likely a terrible idea. how do you plan on exhausting air out your window? how you do that will play a huge roll in how suspicious that looks.
worst case is he pisses off the landlord, gets turned in by landlord and goes to jail....what? just saying.......
