Backyard outdoor in chicago

Guys...looks like it might be a change of plans for me? I probably grow indoors instead...I been thinking about the risk of outdoor vs indoor and especially the neighboorhood smell factor. Indoor is just a lot more beneficially controlled and ill get to control the switch to flower also. I wanna be harvesting in three months which means only one month of veg time. I know im cutting down on yield a lot but I need this done as quick as possible. Shit even thinking about 12/12 from seed but it probably wont be worth it with because im only gonna have like three plants.

So this new idea is because I found a new "Secret" room in my basement thats like a storage room behind a wall, that has nothing in it lol

Heres the new situation im thinking of:

3 plants CC 818 Headband- In Soil, 5 Gal buckets
3' x 3' x 6' grow tent..
600W MH/HPS w/ AC Hood
Possibly scrog (my only worry here is when i need to flush because ill have no way to drain and im not tryna flood the room, but scrog would make the best yield possibly)

and of course ill get a carbon filter and fan...should be all i need.

I think a month veg is probably fine because my tent is only 6' tall and the AC Hood is probably gonna take up nearly another foot of ceiling space leaving me with ~5' to work with...ill probably want my plants to be 4-4.5' tall max. Hopefully i could yield 1/2lb + off that...if i can make a lb it would be great but I doubt it since its soil and not hydro and short veg time.

My seeds ship tomorrow and ill start seedlings in cups in the windowsill for now for about two weeks probably.

any suggestions?

Thanks again.. Smells good

First time growing the 818 headband my question is do they grow weird i bought a 10 pac from the att. Popped them as normal an all the 818 seemed to have all weird types of growths is this normal. The leaves seem to not curl but crinckle the the branching seems to grow on one side more than the other. All under t5s lamps no light issues all in soil just wondering never ran the cail con.. Gear

I was wondering if you have had any luck with your headband? I have 2 of 3 left (cali connection) and they are some seriously crappy looking plants. Twisted leaf shapes and some with 2 tones on. ( part albino? ). I'm tempted to bin them, whatever became of your ones?
