Well, apparently you need a stronger strain for this to be worth the risk. Once you get your hands on some reliable seeds/clones, I'd say out by the shed is ideal, I mean, since so far all's good w/the folks, etc.
If I were you, I'd read all about outside growing
GrowFAQ and also, look into LST, which would perhaps boost your harvest while keeping a lower profile?
A pic might help?
