"enclosed Locked Facility"

[digi7al]

Can anyone help me find out what the bare minimum would be for this?

 

I supposedly can't put locks on my bedroom doors because of a city ordinance.

 

It says the "enclosed locked facility" must be stationary, so a tent probably would not cut it. But could you build a cabinet out of wood and have that locked?

[AbominableDro-Man]

Tents are pretty stationary once you're growing in em' bud. And you can certainly put a lock on a tent.

 

What city ordinance prevents you from putting locks on your bedroom doors?

[ozzrokk]

Wow a city ordinance that you cannot put locks on your bedroom? Wow..........  Well if you are growing in a room and not using it as a  bedroom then I guess you could say it is not a bedroom?

[digi7al]

“Enclosed, locked facility” means a closet, room, or other comparable, stationary, and fully enclosed area equipped
with secured locks or other functioning security devices that permit access only by a registered primary caregiver or
registered qualifying patient.

 

I think a stationary cabinet with locks would fit that definition?? It would be like a closet... but would fall under "or other comparable, stationary..."

 

And yeah my landlord said there is a ordinance about that.

in America?

 

if you believe the city can disallow you to lock your bedroom door, maybe growing a controlled substance isn't for you?

I'd check into these laws if I were you, and call an attorney for clarification. 

 

maybe they will allow you to put a lock on the closet in your bedroom?

[digi7al]

you might be right

 

Has anyone had a issue with law enforcement when growing in a locked cabinet or tent?

as long as nobody knows then nobody will ever know. Problem comes when we show off our fine work and allow others to see, sample, etc. seems someone talks, then someone is raided. A tent is a fine option, I used 7 of them in 2009, then built a separate building with a controlled room at one end. If you're nearby I'll sell you a used grow tent(several sizes) at a great price. You'll need two tents, at least 3x3 and 5 feet tall,  grow lights/ballasts. I suggest digital ballasts that you can set the wattage, so you can cut back if needed. Buy a thousand watter for flower and set it to six hundred watts for example. I highly suggest a cheap 2x2 or larger T5 lighting fixture with cool bulbs for vegging/cloning. you'll need a small dehumidifier, maybe an air conditioner in the room, and really important...a quality "stink sock" for each tent, and two inline fans to operate them, timers, heat, etc. Don't waste your cash on fancy reflectors, just buy the cheap wing style for 30-40 bucks. Figure out a place to duct your hot air if you cant cool it. be aware of smells all the time. you will not be able to cover them up ever, only treat them at the source. charcoal filter stink socks, at least the knee high ones.

 

don't pant until you get your card. don't ever go over your plant count. 12 plants will seem like not enough for the first few months, but no worries at all, this will soon be the least of your problems. 12 is plenty for one cat n a perpetual legal growing garden, you can have several slots for clones, vegging and a few flowering all the time at different stags of growth. variety is best, cup winners a good place to start. buy Jorge Cervantes grow bible and follow directions.

people grow in those locked wardrobes.

can grow in a locked cabinet too

 

if you are renting (you mentioned a landlord) there might be something in the lease agreement about installing locks...

 

theres no city ordinance about installing locks on bedroom doors, at least none that would be enforceable.

 

please just use the room and install a lock. preferably a doorknob lock that auto locks when the door is shut (and make sure to put an auto-door-shut lever on the door) to keep the door locked and closed at all times.....

It most likely has to do with fire code, and the ability to get out if there's a fire. No locks from the outside, if it's a bedroom. Either way you would have to give your landlord a copy of the key, and that would violate the rules set by the mmma.

sure, just dont put any beds in the room and then its no longer a 'bedroom'.

It's the window that makes it a 'bedroom'. Board up the window & no bedroom.

[trichcycler]

landlords like when you board up their windows, especially to grow marijuana gardens

I still like the judge in the Kingpin case who said that a home owner present in their house would be considered a"functioning security device". This is the judge who originally threw the case out.
