Good choice.
For shits and giggles, after the inspection, change the locks. See if he calls and questions it. Thats how you know hes snooping w/o permission.

No Shit!!! Only thing they'll do is kick you out....takes a sheriff, a court order, and 30 days for that to happen if they find out you are in violation... (lot a leases have a 'don't change the locks' rule.....)
If you find out they know you changed the locks...then you saved your ass for them not finding your grow....
grow another day dude....

carrying plants out of your appartment in the middle of the day is a bad idea,driving with your car load up with plants in the middle of the night is a bad idea also..your plants are large so you 'll have to put them in the backseat something easily noticed even if the car is running 80km/h..such an operation is too risky and i don't think it worths for two or three weeks more mature weed...
good luck dude
good luck dude

I have a friend with a very family-looking minivan.
Scrap it, jail aint fun. Think about losing your job court cost finding future employment, probation, random drug test, did i say jail?? Scrap it and look for a better place to live more grower friendly. It aint worth it. If he noticed a jump from a 250 watt light, hell my computer's power supply is 400 watts. Just move.

Save the 30 min drive. If its doable, rent the van/ uhaul and put the babies in there bright and early Mon... say 4-5a.m, let him do his inspection and move them back in later on in the day. Its touchy, especially with him making that comment. He may have looked around like others said. Did you change the locks when you moved in???? Hope so!!! But like also stated.... This is no longer a safe,viable grow location. GOOD LUCK!!!!

No I do not intend to grow here any longer.
I will finish my 2 plants off at my friend's place who has a 1000w HPS light that's not being used right now. My girlfriend and I will have to sacrifice some buds, but I guess thats what it takes.
I think the plants will appreciate that light as they got too big for my 250w in the cabinet.. i vegged them too long unfortunately. Anyways.. hopefully all will be well. I'm gonna have to be careful transporting them, but I think everything will be okay.. we'll see how much I get out of the plants in the end.
Thanks for all the input everyone..

BB sounds like a very unfortunate situation. From what you have posted so far in my opinion your landlord "knows" you are growing. He told you on the phone in not so many words he "knows" what you are doing. He has seen it or been told about it. The fact that you were growing this time last year confirms this to me anyway. I would simply tear down and enjoy what it is. Having some, even though early, pot is better than having none at all. It won't be that bad at this point. I would not risk moving, driving, etc... very risky. It's not like we are talking about a pound of weed, 3+ oz's best?. Think about it, carrying a large box/bag or 2, whatever out right after a conversation like this is fishy to say the least, unless you carry large objects in and out of your dwelling on a regular basis, but even then??? Cut your stuff, trim it all down, then take that to your buddy's house and give it a proper dry then cure. You will be happy you did. As others have said, I would not be surprized to see leo accompanying this visit. Good luck and be safe. Let us know how it turns out.

Holy Crap and I thought I was Paranoid, listen to you guys . Go to jail, risky ,he knows, its not worth it etc.
LANDLORD IS A CMEMORY F@%$&*er and has got nothing NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING except a ten dollar increase in the electricity bill.
Blueberry moved his grow and he'll start another in a new spot , CASE CLOSED

chaingmai: thats a very good suggestion as to how to conceal the plants for transportation. What we're thinking of doing right now is getting some large gift bags and Christmas wrapping paper and first putting a garbage bag around them, then wrapping them up like large christmas presents. Not so conspicuous this time of year.
guest2222999: Yes i tend to agree with you. I dont think the landlord has anything and i think he's just fishing for stuff.
It looks like he probably wont be in and out, though... I just got a slip in my mailbox yesterday thats a notice that he's going to enter the apartment on Monday, saying that he wants to carry out the following 'maintenance & repairs:'
"Investigate possible causes of high electrical bill"
"Routine check re mold on outer walls, closets, cupboards, sills"
"Routine check of bathroom and kitchen for leaks"
So it looks like its not going to be such a quick procedure. Makes me feel better that i'm doing all this prep work. I'm just scared as hell about the drive over to my buddy's.

drive the speed limit...wear your seatbelt....don't look like some thug....smile....have your buddy follow you in another car, prepared to obstruct any officer trying to pull you over.....
that's how I move anything......
you really should not be on here posting ...you should be evacuating.....

bbf....Berry_Coughin' means when you are about to get pulled over your buddy hits the gas and flys pasts, the cops he see him speeding and driving eratically and they pull him over instead of you...he just gets a ticket since there is nothing in his car...which of course you pay for
dude you have two plants its not that big of deal....you don't have to wrap them up like xmas presents...just box them up....put them i the minivan...drive to your boys house.....do the speed limit, make sure all your stickers are uo to date, wear your seat belt, make sure all your lights and turn signals work, come to a complete stop at stop signs & you should be fine

I would get rid of it, but thats me... If you feel safe enough with your "stealth grow" then go for it.
