Home grow in a one bedroom apartment. Is this realistic or am I dreaming
Situation: one bedroom, two roommates, and calling the layout compact is generous. I am not asking whether I am allowed to, I am asking whether it is physically sensible in a space this size, and whether the people who share it with me are going to hate me for it. The two things I keep coming back to are smell and electricity. I have read that both are manageable and I have also read that both are the reason people quit after one attempt, and I cannot tell which of those is the honest answer. Also I have no window that gets real sun. If anyone has done this in an actual small city apartment rather than a spare room, I want the unglamorous version. Including if the answer is that I should not bother.

First indoor run in a Rochester basement: what I got wrong
Wrapped up my first proper indoor attempt and I kept notes the whole way, mostly so I could be honest with myself about the mistakes. There were plenty and none of them were exotic. Biggest one was humidity. A Rochester basement is a damp room pretending to be a dry room, and I did not respect that until it was a problem I had to solve in a hurry rather than one I had planned for. Second was overwatering out of anxiety, which every single guide warns about and I did anyway, because reading a warning and internalising it are different things. Third was that I moved too many variables at once, so when things improved I could not tell you which change did it. Next run I am changing one thing at a time and writing down the numbers daily instead of when I remember. Happy to share the notes if that is useful to anyone starting in a similar space.
