How to grow weed at home in secret (advice)

[MeowMeow]

This isn't me. I am lucky enough to live in a household of weed lovers. I was looking for your advice.

A friend of a friend recently retired and wants to grow weed. He was buying Delta THC online but learned that's going to be illegal soon, so he figured it was time to get truly self-sufficient and grow his own. He lives in a place where he can get a medical card to legally grow, but he's afraid if he starts growing weed, his wife will tell all the neighbors about it. Apparently she can't keep a secret, and isn't particularly keen on weed either. Her niece smokes a ton of weed and she hates that.

So he's trying to put together a grow in his garage or attic that's a secret from her. Maybe using a space bucket or hidden cubby somewhere.

But I'm telling him that he's not going to be able to grow very much weed out of a space bucket. If he wants to be able to grow significant weed, he's going to at least need a small tent or something like that. And also, it's just never a good idea to grow in a household where you're trying to keep it a secret from another member of the household.

I always thought of "stealth growing" as being a secret from your neighbors, not your household.

I'm just curious what you all think about that. Are any of you growing where you're afraid someone in the house might find out, or are all you growers living in weed-friendly households?

I don't see how you could hide all the work and supplies needed to grow ganja from someone you live with. Grow somewhere else or just have a good talk w/the spouse. My 2 cents and good luck!

I’m lucky, my wife wanted me to grow weed when it became legal in our state. I can’t keep secrets or try to hide things from my wife besides after over 40 years together I think it would be like cheating on our relationship. I covered all the bases. When it became legal in our state I went all in and purchase my rec. permit every year from the state and follow the law it Permits 6 non flowering plants/6 flowering and 6 clones under 14”.. honestly to get 6 plants in each category would take some serious organizing on my part. I’m happy with 6 plants and a couple clones. I sleep good a night without worrying about long arm of the law showing up at my door. If it is legal where he lives he needs to have a talk with the wife and get on the same page. If he starts growing the smell will give him up. My 10 cents worth..
But if he decides to grow outside he might pull it off, might have to try some Duck foot from Dutch passion.

I agree with all said above. It would be almost impossible to hide a grow from people inside the house and to try would be asking for trouble.
