Klosets (3 Different Kinds)

I am planning a first grow and have been reading everything I can find. Even have a few books coming to get me through the winter.........Thanks for the information on this site, it is appreciated!

I have 3 locations available, each with a different size and appeal. I am planning 400w HPS and am only looking for personal yield (less than 1/8oz per week). All locations are around my house, with generally cool neighbors and a pretty big lot size). I'll be ventilating and heating at night. Soil grow and I'd like to keep a rotation going with clones just because. Have an option to use a small exterior closet (16" by 12" by 7' for clones/ mother).

1) Outdoor shed adjacent to garage. Width 52", depth 34", height 55" (plus another 8-10" if I dig down). UPs- Size, it's near garden already so odor control is easier, drainage is simple. DOWNs - Temperatures are harder to manage in the winter (Seattle area, nights 40-50f) and every time I open the door in the winter:hump: to water the neighbors might get a light show!

2) In garage nook. 68" wide, 26", height 44" (nothing can be changed). UPs - Privacy (I can peek without anyone seeing), temperatures a little more balanced. DOWNs - Height limit of less than 4' and width just better than 2', garage may smell like skunk:roll: .

3) Under the house. 46" tall unless I dig by almost unlimimited floorplan. UPs- Width, pretty easy to access with out drawing attention. DOWNs - If something goes wrong I burn the house down starting under my daughters rooms, electrical meter is nearby so meter reader :evil: better be hard of smelling..............

I have basically eliminated #3. Down to #1 or #2 and am leaning towards #2 but afraid the about the height limit. Is it possible grow in a space that is 2' x 5.5' (or 2'x2.5)' if I carve out a clone booth)? Should I be thinking about special techniques (SCROG? Leaned over?). How about a species? I am more interested in the cerebreal qualities of a sative hybrid, rather than the wheelchair effect of indica (I grew up without knowing this distinction, it explains a lot:? ). And remember, I only need to yield 14-20g / month so let's not talk about World Record stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance,
Banzai

definitely number 2. and if you flower from clones, then they will finish under 2'. if you pick a good strain you can get close to an oz a piece from these little baseball bats

What strains should I look for to get 2-2.5' finished height? In 44" cabinet, with 8" for container and 24" for lights, the math doesn't add up!

Should I be tying them down? Screen? Grow them into a reindeer topiary?:blsmoke:

Anybody have some clones in Seattle? Ping me off line, please............

The CA Orange and Crystal eggs are here.. 400w HPS ordered from HTG via eBay (please tell me if they are scamming....) G-day was x-mas eve 1 hour after the inlaws left. Used paper towels on a plate in the stereo cabinet. Fecking brilliant. By changing shelves or turning different equipment on I can get from like 65 to 85degs in 2 degree increments.

The Orange sprouted in about 36 hours and all are now transplanted. The Crystal seems to be lagging a bit ? Any thoughts, the seeds have split but they don't have the same tail the Orange had. I'm gonna let them go another night.
