Growin in a condo

So were renting a condo in granbi. Our landlord seems really liberal told my dad he was and liked to party. Its no where in our lease saying we cant grow. I dont see issue from him hell hed prob want some lol.
But our condo is in a home owner association. Iv read the rules and by laws says nothing bout growing anything it does sayno ccommercial activity(growin for personal) and it says nothing illegal. So when it comes to that would whats illegal or legal would it fall under state or federal law?
