Friend's (;) ;) ) hypothetical first grow. Advice on grow room please!

Right, so my friend has seeds to start his first grow. However, he is very poor and does not have the room to house loads of plants in the house.
However, what he does have is a large fish tank with a fluoro light above it.

Would it be possible to grow a few plants in here if they were flowered early (around 12") or is this a ridiculous method? Really tight on money, and believe it or not in this case the obvious (growing in the tank) is less obvious than if four six feet monsters are found in his closet.

Also, what would turn from seed to bud the quickest, photoperiods under 12/12 at 12", or autoflowering under light 24hrs (if this is possible?)

Any advice hugely appreciated. He'll be growing 'lowryder' style plants, so short in height.

He is a complete noobie, so please no flaming this is his first grow, and everyone has to start somewhere i guess! Will update everyone on his outside grow at some point too

EDIT: Heat is also a problem, as there will be no chance of extractors etc. Only going to be 3 plants max growing in the tank.

The tank is around 2.5 feet length, 1 foot height and 1 foot width.

All I can say is tell your friend whom is actually you.... LoL. Where there is a will there is a way.

the will is very much there. He just wants to experiment and see if it can be done to be honest. There is no other possible way he could grow it inside. Obviously he wouldnt be doing it idiot style, i.e filling it with soil, big pots, foil on the sides of the tank and proper bulbs. Now the question of what bulbs i need!

Yeah because LEO are really dumb and can be thrown off the scent if we talk about our" friends'" grows rather than our own. LOL

My take: we are all just a bunch of fantasists on these boards. None of us actually grow weed; we just like to pretend that we do. All the pics and stuff you see here are actually just stock photos gleamed from the interweb thingie. It's kind of like role-playing. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
