First, you should not put others at risk without their
knowledge. This goes for your wife, kids, parents,
live-ins or roomates. When FBI busts a grow, usually
everybody goes to jail.
Next, make sure your space is secure. That means either
lockable or hidden. You don't want the Orkin man
finding your grow room.
Your grow space needs to have adequate ventilation and
electrical resources for the size grow you intend on
having. If you can't vent to outside of the space or
you have 15 amp circuit that the tv is also on, don't
look to put a 1000w hps on a mover in there.
Closets can make really good grow spaces, but heat
usually is a big issue.
There used to be a site put up by a guy named Iguana
who described coming home from work one day and
smelling growing bud from his driveway. Have a plan for
dealing with smell in place before the terpines become
pronounced. A good ozone generator can remove the odor
from the room and the exhaust.
Chests of drawers or dressers have too little space or
ventilation opportunities to house a big (400w or
bigger) HID. If you need to use a dresser, consider a
small HID or flourescents.
If you have a big light in a small space, you will need
big fans to keep it cool. Big fans make noise. Make
sure that the noise from your grow doesn't tip people
off as to what you are doing.
