first of all, anyone living in a legal state maybe you shouldn't be giving advice to someone whose top priority is getting caught.
yes, he could have more grow space without the box. did he ever say he wanted more grow space? no.
hes said over and over that his #1 concern is smell. this trashcan double filter above might work just as well as his setup, but frankly it takes up lot of space itself and it looks like shit.
OP, just do your thing. thanks for sharing your work and experience. sorry for all the know-it-alls who think everyone has to do shit the same exact way they do.
welcome to RIU. subbed.
No one on here wants to see him get caught, and multiple people have brought up the fact that his current setup will be a problem if he needs to tear it down quickly.
Anyone who comes on here asking questions should be prepared for suggestions of what they could do better. Without question anything im trying to do someone else on here has already learned the hard way and can suggest a better way to do whatever I have in mind.
I also asked 2 specific security related questions, that he still hasnt answered.
Is it normal to go to this type of rented garage on a daily basis or will the frequency of your visits draw unwanted attention?
Is the amount of electricity you will be drawing going to cause concern, or do you have your own meter?
Those 2 issues were the basic things that I would be more concerned about than smell, and were the roadblock to me ever trying to grow in a rented space like that.
