Default A few questions about a first grow
I am about to move into a small house with a friend. I have a closet (with a vent on the ceiling!) that is pretty small, and I was hoping to do a grow there. I'll get some pics up next weekend when I move my stuff down there, but it's about 3ft deep by 4-4.5 feet wide.

It's not huge, but I was wondering about some suggestions for strains for a first-timer. I've helped some growers before, so I am not clueless, but still if I do this I want it to be perfect.

I just want something that can grow in a closet, requires minimal care, and won't smell (my roomate is not cool with weed...sadly) and has a decent yield.

I realize this is probably impossible, but I figured I would ask for some tips and pointers for stain/set-up/wisdom.

thanks

A closet that size is fine, and if it really has a vent all the better. You can grow any strain, your big decision is soil vs water, and lights. The biggest problem could be heat and humidity control. Lots of people would love to have a closet like that.

PS smell control = ONA, google ONA odor control

well weed smells unless you use a carbon filter and then you have to think about the noise. but i do things big you could just grow a couple plants and use 4 150 watt cfls.

If you're interested, and you're not too space restricted, you could go looking into a growing tent. I've seen some on ebay that are quite cheap and look decently made with mylar linning and so on.

Otherwise, for your closet, I agree with IS, you'll have to worry a little about the humidity and heat, but since you say you have sort of vent, you shouldn't have to worry too much about that.

As far as odor goes, check into carbon scrubbers.

Otherwise, for seed selection, just check around seedbanks for something not too expensive and idealy indica, or mostly, since it usually has a less strong smell, and will grow a little bushier than other plants. If odor is a big problem, stay away from "skunks".
Next, if you're looking for big yeilds, same thing, look for something that says so. There's so many choices of different strains that you'll probably easily find something that'll tickle your fancy.

I've personnaly opted for Seedsman's Skunk Haze (not such a great choice, because of the smell, otehrwise, seems to be doing great), and I've recently received some low ryders, which are dwarf plants. They're supposed to be somewhat low on odor, more bushy, but a little vertically challenged. It's also not something to get over-excited on the yeild, but hey, I don't intend on being a huge stoner, and simply try to supply a few friends when possible, it'll pretty much pay off for itself.

my exp with indicas are they smell very strong. Also heat isnt a problem if you go with 150 watt cfl, or t5 flouros. Little to no need signature.

Go with Master Kush from Nirvana. easy to grow, takes 8-10 weeks from seed to flower. Packs one hell of a buzz to, good for insomnia. And hell with your roommate man, why do us stoners have to be so daMN careful around people that dont like it. Hell your paying rent just as he is, you got every right to grow in your room.

And you also don't want him to babble accidently to other "dealers" that might take it onto themselves to shut down your operation.

(Too many action movies.... -.-')
