Hello all! My name's cloud4xL and I'm new to the forums.
I live in the U.S., just recently got into smoking, and I am in love (don't know why I never did before lol). LoL I've been smoking for about 2 months so far, and I now want to try my hand at growing too since finding a reliable dealer around my area has been particularly troublesome.
But here's my situation:
1) I live with 3 other roommates in a ground-level 4 bedroom/4 bathroom apartment, and 2 of my roommates don't smoke. Well, that's not true. One of the 2 DOES smoke, but he doesn't smoke than often, so for the sake of this post, we'll just say I have 1 smoking roommate, and 2 non-smoking roommates. Anyway, I thought I'd mention that so you can get an idea of how much space I have to work with (not that much), and some other precautions I may need to take. My main concern here is whether or not I'll have to worry about the smell from the plants escaping from my grow space, and funking up our apartment (which I'm sure would piss my roomies off). Do you guys think a small indoor operation of about 2-3 plants would be a problem (smell-wise)?
2) As far as grow spaces go, the only place I could see it happening in is my closet (which I also use to house my clothes lol). It's about 5 ft. wide, 5 ft. long, and 11 ft. high, with white walls. Do you guys think that would be sufficient? And also, do you think the smell from the plants would be strong enough to leave my clothes smelling like skunk? Or should I relocate my clothes elsewhere?
3) I've done a bunch] of research into some of the things I'll need for my operation, but I have no idea where to get most of the stuff from (except for like Home Depot or Lowes, which I'm not sure even has all stuff I need). Where do you guys get your supplies (e.g. nutes, lighting, lighting fixtures, timers, grow mediums, etc...) from?
4) Since electricity isn't covered in my rent and I have to pay for it out-of-pocket, how much do guys estimate I'll have to end up spending (monthly) in electricity for this operation?
5) I've procured a few seeds from a friend of mine who sells (he buys shwag from some guy in his hometown), and I have no idea what kind of particular weed they are (is there an easy way to tell?), so I don't know what kind of growing conditions I even need. Is there a way to find out what I'm workin with? Or do I have to just hope for the best?
Those're all the questions I can think of off the top of my head. If I have any other questions or concerns, I'll post 'em later. But yea, definintely lookin forward to hear from you guys. Thanks in advance for viewin my post, and I'll see some of ya'll around the forums. Laterz.....

OH!! And this is a big one:
Which do you guys think would be better for a first grow? Soil? Aero? Or hyrdo? Thanks!
