Electric Company Coming Over

They want to change the light bulbs in my apartment to CFLs. If the tent is there, I can just say it is tomato's since there is no smell and he wouldn't be able to see the plants due to it being well, a tent. They insist on doing it themselves, and would come in to inspect them even if I installed them myself.
 
sounds fishy noone is going to come to your house and change the light bulbs, it dosent make sense.

If they ask what is that tent tell them that your rent is up to date and kindly fuck off

Are you renting or owning? The electric company will not be doing services like that anyway sounds fishy to me. If you are renting then the landlord might but not the electric company.

They gave me a day they would be coming over, and It may be the apartment complex. The secretary could of fucked up the letter, and I pay my rent on time. All the places I could hide it are places they'd check for lights. I'mma call and ask them if I put them in they won't care? No idea. Too much love for my plants to throw them out lol

Overbearing management.

If they insist on getting this done, say you'll do it yourself only.

If that doesn't work for them, and you're not on a lease, tell them they now have your 30 days notice.



Still not sure why people live in apartments(your not in Manhattan are you? :x), then even dare to grow in them as well. Don't do it unless you own it, or if it's a home/something with real privacy/security/control value.




But anyways, you are living in a room that they own, and with 24hrs notice, completely control.


To everyone else out there in apartments, maybe you should take some more considerations before deciding to grow in your current space.

This is called pretexting -- an innocent-sounding excuse to get inside your residence to inspect it for illegal activities.

PS, when you live with marijuana plants, or even just smoke regularly, you can't smell it, because you're conditioned to the smell. But everyone else can.

They want to change lightbulbs? Bullshit.

You need to hide your dope.

ask them for some extra cfl's for your tent... lol

I'd take the tent apart and stash it the day they come over, and put my plants in black trashbags in the corner (away from light fixtures) with some empty 12 packs around them. But that's just me :)

It might be a good idea to replace them yourself out of your own pocket too, they might walk in, see a few cfl's and walk out. You never know, it's all about reducing your chances of getting caught. IDK about you but I'd go all out to hide it, nobody's going to believe tomatoes.

I thought of this, but if the landlord sent the letter then it's possible they're doing the entire complex legit. Maybe OP should ask the landlord if they require cfl's without giving up too much info about what's going on just to see what he'd say. If they know nothing then I'd be paranoid as fuck.

Hide the plants in the closet, and leave the tent open and have tomato plants in it. they have no need to go in your closet.

stash your babies in the woods somewhere, TAKE DOWN THE FUCKING TENT and burn some incense. oh and hide the bongs. where is it that the elect company changes your bulbs for ya? see? this is that good ol green fascism we've been hearing so much about; just pretense for invasion of privacy. "You don't wanna support the environment!?!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?!?" this is fucked.

Could say it's a dark room for your old fashioned 35mm camera, which is a hobby to take photos with? :P No smell, no problem.

i'd go with this also. there is no need for them to open the closet, just make sure you hide tent nutes bongs etc. maybe your landlord can smell the weed but doesn,t know what resident is smoking/growing it so there doing this to find out.
 
possibly rent a storage unit? or have it at a friends house, while you go over and visit...

DO NOT leave the tent in there when they come over. Once they are in the door it's pretty much free reign
