You're fronting too hard. A keyboard warrior like you wouldn't do shit except call the police.

I have lived in my home for 12 years and can count on two hands at most the number of times I have spoken to my neighbours. I just give em a wave every now and then. Keep the place tidy, pay the bills & don't invite trouble and you'll be fine. Remember a liar needs a damn good memory, so if you have to lie to the neighbours be sure to remember what you had told them. Best to just avoid them if you can, don't go out of your way to introduce yourself or engage in regular discussion; don't be an arsehole though.
Growing here
in a rental house is difficult as most land lords will want a 3 month inspection; one of the easiest ways to overcome this is to pay 6 months rent in advance (if you have the means). 3m x 3m is a pretty standard bedroom size here and is not that big a grow. I would just use a tent with a little space around the edges to move around it if required and probably pop all the res etc in a built in robe or closet.The perfect scenario in your case would be a master bedroom and en-suite as it would have all the supply water and drainage ready to go.
Don't be afraid to run hydro, in my mind there is more that can go wrong in a soil grow.
If you are going to be away for extended periods then you will need very large reservoirs I would go with at least 200 litres, more if you had the room.
Try and build a little redundancy into the system also; I would run two pumps on the res lines, and use larger centrifugal pumps that are designed to run constantly. Pop each on a different circuit if you can, and if at all possible run one of the three lights on a different circuit. If you are running DWC do the same with air pumps. Pop an in-line filter on both sides of the pumps to keep any solids out.
Automate as mentioned in other posts.
Enter and exit via the garage and never answer the door.
Here is ONE room in a property I own. 6 more bloom rooms the same size. 420 lights.
You wouldn't sue shit.

Not everyone fucks up houses...But I hear it happens a lot in B.C..
Another reason to move into an already fucked up house.

A lot!!
Ok just a fat rude American but. RE fuckin model. Let ur neighbors see you fixing up the place for profit. The whole time your room is doin its thing. If you can't fool an inspector? Well just buyin stuff is easier. Good Luck

At $300k for a below average house, buying in these parts just to grow doesn't make a lot of sense. I personally don't recommend growing in a rental here, but it is done and regularly.
Houses in Vancouver go for MINIMUM 750,000 and that's a shack.
Yeah, sure. Grow in my house.

If you are going to chance growing in a rental, make sure you grease the landlord, or arnt growing in one of VAgs places, lol........
you could end up in a place you dont wanna be,...... Vag's pocket!!!

Sounds true...
Not really heard much solid advise in the thread past the first page - automate ur arse to death, pay the bills, etc.
But how to select a good landlord.... this is NOT covered.
and no, greasing his slimy palm is not an option. that's just horseshit; I don't want to operate on that level. Lets say 2-4kw flowering, something that again can disappear into a single 8x8 or 10x10 room.

Found your problem. wh-pssshhhhhhhhhhh!
best landlords are ones with lots of properties, usually in a college town.
they expect you to live there 1-4 years tops and hope to hear as little complaining as possible.
all their units should be slummy and the less they hear from you the happier they will be.
if you can find an apartment on top of the laundry room or right next to it you are golden

Indeed this the problem , but 11 cops raiding your house
and humilate you with handcuffs in your neighborhood while your
5 year old daughter crying .....for 400 Watt / 4 plants grow is the big picture.

I think it's a better idea, then, for you to get a local buddy of yours who is single to start growing, and fund it for him. If you are really trying to protect your family then you shouldn't be doing it yourself at all, whether it is at home or not, they will be coming to you at home if you fuck up and they are after you, right? It seems like so much EXTRA risk.
OK, subbed i'll read it this afternoon, thx. did do real estate for a bit... i'm interested in your take
furnace/fireplace or laundry dryer exhaust

S-O,
If the window to the room is inaccessible and won't draw attention you can vent straight out the window (through a carbon filter of course) and draw the intake in from another area of the house of even the room the room the tent occupies.
