hmmmm not making much sense
cuz time u put in a pot and a light u gonna have like 1 foot or less
and that gonna require some srious lsting
my advice is look into other types of stealth grows.........
i am not saying it is impossible .... just may not make sense
because a seedling needs to be at leat 5-6 internodes b4 it can flower and that may be at like 8-10 inches then when it flowers it will probably double or triple its size so i dunno how wide your space is and if it will allow you to tie down the plant or 2 plants

go to walmart buy 3 40gal rubbermaid containers ($10 a pop) cut the bottoms out of two then stack them up and you will have 4ft of vertical growing space...it easy to hang lights in it and add fans to

I have grown plants that yielded 1/2 ounce and only grew 12 inches tall. I did this by flowering at 8" tall and cutting off the lowest 1/3 of the plant of all stems and leaves. this in effect stunted its upward growth but continued to flower.

So you got your plant to 8 inches high. Take a nice sharp pair of scissors and wipe the blades with rubbing alcohol to sterilize. On the bottom 3rd of the plant cut off all stems/node/leaves so there is only the main stem bare 1/3 the way up. Change the light schedule to 12/12 and put plant under it, it will stretch, but won't be able to stretch too much due to its need to repair itself. If it does get too high, just gently bend it over by tying string to top and then anchoring to base of plant. Might take a couple of days to bend plant all the way over so you don't snap the thing in half. Be gentle.

So by cutting off the lower 1/3 of the foliage, it stopped the stretch that comes with the start of flowering?
