How stealthy can you grow in an apartment building ?

[Cyrax2010]

I was thinking

If i was growing in an Apartment building. lets say maybe with 2 x 400w (or something that would not raise suspicion with the electrical company) ..

How stealthy could you get with the equipment that is commonly available to amateur growers today ?

How well do these filters and ozone generators really work and what about sound dampening ?

I was thinking that an apartment on the top floor on the corner of a building would be best suitable.

My plan would be to devote an entire small room for the grow. This room would always be locked and i would tell visitors that it was a storage or something.

I have been reading alot about growing in the past, and have had 2 successful grows with 400w hps lamps. Back then i was growing in an attic with very primitive ventilation (open roof-window and a large desk fan, and no odor control) the only thing i cannot figure out by reading about the various equipment is exactly how well it really works.

And allso if anyone could point me to some good stores where i could order equipment or give me an idea of a good setup. I am ready to spend upto like 6000$ (maybe more) on this project. All help will be greatly appreciated.

This all depends on what you're looking to get out of your system. If you're looking to build a perpetual growing system, you'll need to think about separate areas for vegging plants/clones and flowering plants. Again, this is all dependent on your expectations.

I'll tell you this, for $6000 you can build just about anything. If you meant to write $600, then you'll want a good balance between money spent on lighting and money spent on ventilation. That's not including growing mediums, nutrients, timers and thermo/hygrometers, etc. Read back through previous posts in the growing forums, there's an almost unlimited amount of information free for the taking.

I've ordered from Discount Hydroponics (http://www.discount-hydro.com/) several times, and have always been pleased with them.
