There's a number of things that can go wrong. But if you are still willing to risk it, I'll give you some advise = )


Yes, it certainly IS possible. With a 400-Watt lamp or two, and maybe a couple lowryder plants to keep the size down. But I've never grown in an apartment, or even grown lowryder myself, so I'm not sure how bad it would smell (I have seen many of these plants though, they are pretty small plants, so I can verify that much.) Just make sure that when those lights are on, everything else in the apartment is off, as apartments typically don't have that much power going to different rooms. If you put those lights on and everything else in the apartment is on, you'll likely blow the fuse, and it may cause electrical damage. Just make sure that when you go to sleep, those lights are on, and everything else is off. (Not neccassarily EVERYTHING, just check the fuse box to see which fuse belongs to your grow area. Everything in that fuse must be your lights only, or any ventilation you wish to place in there. Everything else belonging to different fuses is ok to turn on.) Another reason I advise you to turn everything off while the lights are on is power consumption. I see you are in the United States, so this applies to you AND me. Many law enforcement agencies are using abnormal power consumption rates to spot home grows across large cities AND small towns. A spike upwards can alert police, and they might try to obtain a warrant to go inside the apartment (or, they might just need the landlords permission. Depends. Note if they just need the landlords permission, he/she will agree to let the police go inside.) And it's no fun when the police have shown up at your door, with a warrant, and you have a near-mature marijuana plant in your possession. That's happened to a few growers I knew (past tense, not sure if they are still alive. and I only knew they grew because they asked me what they should grow. I feel partially guilty for their capture.)


As you can see, you must be extra-careful. Don't do anything dumb, I'm sure you won't, but stil. Yes, it is possible to grow in your apartment. Just make it a mild-smelling strain.

Woah! Fuck me!.. Thats one long post!
