When the police took the hydroponics away all that stuff looked as hi-tech as my place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It takes a lot of heat and humidity to grow cannabis and having that going on below me was causing the problem with the mould.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now that the pot-growing enterprise has been shut down, Alleyne hopes that his mold problems will come to an end. &#8220;Since the raid I&#8217;ve cleaned up two thirds of the flat and there&#8217;s been no more fungus,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I am now re-paneling and repainting the place and, hopefully, it will be fine. It&#8217;s probably cost a few thousand pounds to do everything and I&#8217;m not finished yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alleyne&#8217;s thirty-one-year old neighbor has been arrested and is currently out on bail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Star Trek-themed apartment battled a mold and fungus war which was caused by heat&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2416],"tags":[3490,3491,2504,3492],"class_list":["post-11084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fandom","tag-alleyne","tag-apartment","tag-star-trek","tag-voyager"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/fandom\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Fandom<\/a>","tag_info":"Fandom","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11084"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11087,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11084\/revisions\/11087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
