Hey, i've recently decided that i need to change my life around, i decided to learn how to grow weed so i've done some testing right? Bought 2x tents, and experimented with SOG etc. went well probably because conditions were ideal and i took it seriously.
I am planning to rent an appartament just for growing, small town somewhere in Europe. 30-35 m2 of space to grow, divided in 2 bedrooms actually. I have a few questions.
- I don't want to miss out on a few extra plants, so i was thinking about not using tents for that one, more plants i can fit in each room the better! And the tent itself takes some extra space. Mistake or right choice?

- I don't want to go over 5000 watts since that can start being suspicious, do you think 5000 watts will be enought for that space? (30-35m2)? yes i will devide it in 600w - 800w lamps obviously.

- I was planning on growing it with the SOG method, but if i do we're looking at 500-600 plants, managable daily by one person ? I have someone that will be sitting on it h24.

If anyone was growing in such conditions i'd love some feedback / help thank you very much <3 Rabini

I wouldn't grow without tents and carbon filters, that could make the whole building and neighborhood smell

I was thinking about that, plan was to get a shit ton of good carbon filters and keep the temperature at the right level. I need more than that you recon?

With only wanting to use 5k watts each fan will pull 200-250w to run your shit ton of carbon filters

Then you’ll need circulation fans, A/C, dehumidifiers etc

I would go for 4 x 1kw de HPS in a 3m x 3m room x 2.4m high, you will have to build the room, 12" rvk fan and 12"filter will do a great job in this space and you will need an 8" rvk intake fan,

think thats a bit much youre aiming for, will be hard to keep the enviroment in check.
youre going to need a lot airexchange if you have 30sqm flowering canopy in a halfway normal sized flat.
needs a lot dehumidifers prob, few of the 450W ones.
and even 5kw can be suspicoius, you will be far above your neighbours for sure.
maybe go for a few tents instead if you want to keep your op running for longer.

Move in and live there for at least a few months first. That way you aren't as suspicious, and you can get a feel for the neighbors / landlord / unexpecteds before taking the risk. If you plan on just swinging by to do work you'll be setting off all sorts of red flags.

I’m not trying to bash anyone, but I think led would save you in electricity costs and cooling in the summer.

If I was doing anything commercial and concerned about profit margins, I would not use HID.

Yeah I wouldn't grow in a rental space. If you're concerned about smell you probably shouldn't grow weed period.
