apartment growing

ok i getting my own place and want to grow a few plants maybe 3 or 4 with cfl to keep the cost down but i am worried about growing in a apartment any ideas??? i well have to vent into the room due to the fact it is a studio apartment so smell and noise are something to worry about was planing on building a wood box about 3 feet tall and about 2 feet wide and l.s.t the plants i am going to be growing with k2 seeds so well they smell really strong? also planing on a small diy carbon filter mounted in a wood box on rubber rings but was wondering what type of fan to use due to cost and noise. well be growing in a soil less mix "first grow" well have about 6# 32w = 100watts bulbs half in the blue spectrum half in the red spectrum so i well have a good veg and flowering i hope is that right?


so any points would be great thanks

For starters, growing in an appartmt comes with some risk. Usually management and maintenance can do walk-throughs and safety inspections regularly.

Anyway...read as much as you can in the grow log forum, and the closet forum. These will give you some good ideas and information. Especially concerning the growbox. :thumbsup:

As you have stated a carbon filter will be most important, and giving yourself enough space for the future. I ran into that problem, plants do grow big and that is easily over looked. If you live in a studio consider growing close to a window and venting out of there.
-Do research on your building. Does maintenance or anyone else come in unexpected?
-Do you live on ground floor?
-What kind of neighbors do you have?
-Whats the land lord like does he like to stop by and see how things are going? Yes that shit has happened before!

Use your head when building your grow box.
-Does it look obvious that something weird is going on?
Out of place wooden box in corner of room with cables running into it?
-Are cables running into a closet for no reason? Hide that shit.
-Glowing cab. at night? Seal that shit.
-Noisy fan? Find a quiet solution.

You get the point, if it looks obvious then it is obvious.

Hope this helped. Best of luck and smart growing.
