No worse than having a little fan on beside your bed during the summer....so wil take a few nights to get used to. I mean, people live right next to railway lines or below flight paths and become immune to the noises! But the fan noise isn't enough to worry about neighbors hearing :)
On the aspect of the heat...our solution is to get some white tumble drier hosing and attach it to the end of the foil hose.....stick some white women's tights over the end of white hose (lol) to prevent bugs climbing in, and pop it out the window.....nobody thinks anything odd about seeing a tumble drier house hanging out a window! You can also get some odor things to pop in the hose too to mask any smells, can't remeber what they're called right now, but saw them on ebay too.
Using a tent system (or any kind of grow system) when you have neighbors and not being in a legal MMJ state takes a bit of immagination in reducing unwanted attention, but it can be done, so don't let it put you off getting a tent. We're on our first grow, so very mch trial and error and hoping we don't screw up, but have done a lot of research and messing about with our stuff before getting seeds.....just didn't realise how quick these babies grow lol.
Hope this helps you a bit man, wouldn't want to see you put off by a few little teething problems! :smokin:
Thanks flyini. Practically the tent still wouldnt be great in my room but i have to a comprimise .This is going to be to grow in my current grow space but using LED's. Im going to invest in a nice set so hopefully the ywork properly ! Do appreicate the info about the tents and will bare it in mind when i move house. :)
I think using LED is going to greatly simplify any heat problems you may have.
