That is to much IMO. If he can run 10000w move it to a house and put it in the garage or something let the plant pay for the house and you own it. Wouldn't go over 1200w a room in a apartment.

apartment is a bad idea all together, even with good filters someone will smell, and legal or not u will have problems.

smell isnt a problem only problem he has is red flags for the light his brother lives dwnstairs and he lives on the second floor so smell light leaks all that isnt a problem thnk by the way bro so back to the main question would 10 or 6k watts be a concern in an apartment

yea dude id stay with the 1000w per room theory. 10k watts is defiantly gonna throw up a red flag even if you are paying off the bill at the end of the month.

Apartments are good for small grows. 10000w is way to much. My house that I had extra power droped to so I can (weld) in I have under 5000w and bill is over 600 a mounth. So just try and exsplane a $1000 bill each month in a apartment. Its not a good idea. Unless it's 1 grow and split witch dosnt found legal anyways

things to consider:

-is he intending on living there, or "ghosting" it? (must take into consideration the amount of power stuff like a fridge, tv, heat etc. etc. chew up when the place is inhabited. on the other hand, ghosted apartments are *heaty*)
-does he pay for his own power, or is it included in the rent? (if it's included in the rent, the power company may not care, but the owner/landlord/management might notice.)
-how much power is the breaker that goes to his apartment rated for? (1. DON'T casually ask the landlord. 2. accidentally popping it several times is not the way you want to find out, either for your grow OR for security/secrecy reasons.)
-does he have a contingency plan for if somebody (landlord, repair people, etc.) have to enter the apartment? 24 hrs isn't a lot of time to "de-grow" the site of a 10k grow.

how can the apt even handle 10k? How are you running that many amps to the room? Thats very sketchy for an apt no doubt, good luck.

so it's a house that's split up into suites, i'm guessing? i had more of an apartment building scenario in mind.

sorry if i wasn't clear. what i meant about "included" and the "power company not caring" was with the assumption that you didn't have a "friendly" landlord. what i mean is, IF you were in an apartment block, say, and the power was included in your rent, the heatiness from high power consumption would shift from you to the landlord, BUT, your landlord might notice pretty quick when your powerbill starts hemorrhaging money. on the other hand, if you pay for your own power (AND it's in your name), your landlord might not come knocking because of your power bill but the power company might (depending where you are and how cooperative they are with the local law enforcement blahblahblah).

either way, the point is moot (and thanks for clarifying).
and i'm not familiar with the cannabis laws in the uk...... if there is an iota of a chance (legally) that the owner can lose the house over a grow, i would strongly suggest against a high power op.
