Would it be possible to grow weed in an apartment or would the smell be to bad? just like 2-3 plants in a closet...

Do they usually give off a strong smell?

Well, its not a weak smell, is it? The facts is they do smell, to what extent is dependant on different factors. Stay safe.

Grapefruit is a great strain for apartment growing. Very high yielder, beautiful big potent buds and almost no smell! You can see an example of one of mine here:

yes it can be done but ventilation is the key keep your grow area well ventilated and the smell wont be so bad

The biggest problem with an apartment is that you don't own the place, and the landlord or super could come in to do work or inspections etc. with only 24h notice. Or if the dumbass upstairs spills his fish tank and damages your ceiling, guess what... landlord visit!!!
It can be done and frequently is. But build your grow with an eye towards being able to break it down and pack it into a few big totes in just an hour or so. HInt: Keep your plants small!

What about using a grow cabinet? Would that be easier?

I strongly advise against this for your personal safety. I'm not sure how law enforcement operate in your area, but in my area, there has been quite a few home grow ops busted in apartments. Sometimes because of neighbors might smell it, sometimes police walk around and smell it, sometimes the police are going to do a raid and bring the dogs, but instead of going to the raid, they go straight to the persons door that's doing the grow op, in that case, the police might split up and search both apartments. 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.

yes, its possibly...just be smart, discreet and dont tell ANYONE not even a close friend.

the most important thing IMHO, don't get greedy....stick with 2-3 plants
