Hello all.
I have been a lurker the past several months and recently decided to actually sign up and ask some questions. I have about 3500 dollars to spend on a grow room / cabinet / tent, but I have a few issues. I'll lay them out for you.
One: I live in an apartment with room mates. That kind of puts the tent out, as I would require 100% stealth.
I don't have the time nor the know-how to build a stealth cabinet. Additionally, my room mates would ask what I was doing. Because no one can mind their own #%!*#! business.
So, that puts the whole DIY thing out the window. I was thinking about getting a nice sized tent, and just doing an honest-to-god tomato grow out of the first grow, and when I move in February of 2015, I'll have a little knowledge under my belt of how LED hydroponic systems work when it comes time to grow the "real thing" when I have my OWN place. I've seen some superb grows recently. Again, though, I don't want anyone knowing I have a tent even if I am growing vegetables in it. Did I mention that people are #%!*#! nosy?! I don't want to be known as "the guy who grows vegetables in a tent in his apartment--hydroponically." Next thing you know, I'd be that person who got raided growing vegetables, and anyway, I just don't want the extra attention, legit or otherwise. Does that make sense? I don't want to fuck with nosy. That's a fight I won't win.
So, does anyone have any ideas, or does it look like I'm stuck to grow in a turn-key system (Grow Box USA has some that are looking real nice, but so expensive) for the time being? Any ideas would be a great help. How smell-resistant and loud are tent setups? If you want to take the extra time, feel free to collaborate on some stuff you would buy and put together. What would you do with $3500 if you needed a medium sized stealth grow? (I'd like at least a pound every harvest by my 3rd grow) My requirements: 100% oder-free. No exceptions. RO water. LED. Hydroponics (Ebb or DWC.) And lastly, no louder than a box fan on low. Thanks for your input!
