Apartment growing sandbags vs monotubs

Hey everybody Ive got to go looking for a place to live for the next little bit any advice on things to look for that can be helpful to this hobby are appreciated, Ill most likely be getting an apartment for the next 8 months. A couple years ago at university I leased a place to live with a couple buddies and there were people that lived downstairs but it was seperated. I managed to fruit 3 monotubs at a time there in my room but there were plenty of moments when the landlord showed up unnanounced and it was a mad dash to hide everything etc... When I move into my new place hopefully Ill have some more privacy but Id like some advice on the best use of my space. I suppose ideally the best thing to do would be get a big lockable container that fits in a closet and has room for tubs fans a light but that may not be practical. Right now im wondering about using sandbags or monotubs. When I did tubs I used polyfill filters which obviously look weird and need to be covered if anyones around. Ive seen since then instead of polyfill or tyvek just many small holes which is a bit more stealthy. I also used solid colour tubs with a press n seal lid. Perhaps a clear lid on a solid or opaque tub would be more stealthy? The otheer option is sandbags which I feel take less room than tubs because you can "mold" the sub I imagine (have seen them in log shapes and as a circle) as well as make the open air space of the bag whatever size you want. I also feel like a bunch of sandbags could be clustered say on a shelf in a closet and when Im there have the lights on and a fan running in the room and when I leave for a bit just cover it with sheets so that no one would find them without going digging through it in which case if Im fucked id be fucked in any situation Any tips experience advice is appreciated

If you need stealth than cultivate some sclerotia(p. mexicana, or p. galindoi) inside some jars.
What do you mean by sandbags? Iam lost. ~P~

If you're growing but have a landlord problem, get a lock set up on the door to the grow room. If the landlord bursts in, tell him to fuck off since he didn't give you any notice prior to the intrusion. I've had to do this many times before and it's put me on bad terms but people have to respect my home. If your landlord didn't let you know whatsup before hand and has no emergency reason to come in, just ask him to come by another time. Don't put up with any BS just because he's a landlord, you're the one paying him after all

i used a lockable chest when i was renting worked gr8 i had a perfect 3 to 4 oz a month for personal. unless you got friends than it might be a lil harder bc they might b expecting a trip or 2 with ya every month .
i never really had a prob tho jus keep low pro lol. ESPECIALLY if you are renting bc some landlords can be real dicks about showing up uninvited. I just made my main area were everyone was wen they first come in home real inviting like nice pictures and real organized etc. first impressions when they see ur home is important bc it gives a person a sense of what u are like . if they see main areas real nice and fridge organized etc they never think u would do something like a grow op lol . just play it like you are the nicest church going person who does charity events on their free time if you have to lol its all about who the guy/chick thinks you are .

Walk-in closet with electrical outlets. Put a locking door knob on the closet door.
Still maintain your privacy .. but with a locking closet you can relax a bit.

Sandbags are named after sandman theyre invitro grow bags. The ones Id be using are 15" x 9" x 24" 4 Mil Gusseted Poly Bags with polyfil-plugged filtered airholes and each is filled with aprroximately 1.5 gallons of a 50/50 mix of pre-pasteurized Coir and Donkey Doo. Theyd be spawned with 2 spawnbags (6 cups spawn to 32 cups substrate)

what is it with landlords?? they cant just show up any time they please. My current flat i never have a landlord showing up ever.
My last flat i would get visits every 3 months but it waas someone from the agency, jsut to check the conditions of the flat and if there was any problems but it would always be when someone was in. It was kind of annoying though because i would get into trouble for having a messy flat.
Grow sclorotia, no fruiting chamber, no FAE, no light. Stays in the jar until harvest.
And if you want fruits you can do a small cased tray to get prints

I have also had land lord problems . The only time he's around is to evict or get the rent. I wish there was a yelp for landlords I've only dealt with slum lords. Just know your renters rights. If you live in most Cali or any major us city they have local ordinance to protect you
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
