A little heavily odor controlled 4-6 plant box will be fine.
Hide it behind a massive wall of crap in the basement, stacked boxs, rolling clothes racks, etc.....
Seen it done before with no problems, apartment manager stood 5 feet from the box and had no clue, thanks to a massive wall of junk.
Something that small could be torn down in under ten minutes in an emergency if you had to.
Do it.
If money is no issue why not just rent a home that isn't on the market and set up shop??
People will smell the ozone..and your scented oil sticks aren't likely to do shit.if thats how its going to be. do you think a sealed cabby to hide them for an hour will hold up(with no fans running). might be able to run a stealth ozone gen tucked away somewhere. will definitely be using scented oil sticks or other mild odor blockers.
there's no way I'd do this..I've lived in rentals that are for sale and it's a pain dealing with the realtors...When ever they showed it to buyers (I was always home but didn't grow) they would let them walk freely around my house unsupervised...I was amazed how the realtor would just say "go ahead and take a look upstairs"..I was pretty worried about people stealing shit from me..I mean it doesn't take anything at all to get shown a house, not even an ID.
If your friend is realllly dead set on growing there..and money isn't an object, buy a shitty RV for about 2k and grow in it....
seems to me your friend made up his mind before you started this thread and you're just fishing for people that agree with you to make yourself feel more secure in making what you know is a bad decision.
Sounds like your, uh, "friend" is hell bent on setting up a sketchy grow. Go for it, mon. Don't say we didn't tell you the dangers involved in the scenario laid out.
Why not just ask your mom for the money for 6-8 zips to tide you over until you can get back on your feet?
