I've got this space that can be used to grow some plants, how many would you recomend for this space?

Is there any particular strains that don't smell too strong?, this has to be stealthy.

I'm not sure what i'm going to use for lighting as it's a small space.
ventelation i have to think about too.

I would go with bagseed if its your first grow so you can learn alot along the way, but If you want quality I would go with Northern Lights for a couple reasons. One is that they are a pretty forgiving strain as in you can put them through alot of problems and they'll pull out. Also it isn't a very stinky strain at all buy still packs a huge punch! Very good strain for newbies and where smell is a concern in my opinion. Id say go with some cfls for that area and just get a fan mounted for some air circulation. good luck

I was thinking of using northern lights too...

can i do this using flourescents? would they provide enough lumens for the area?
I worked it out.

Fluorescents: 60-70 lumens/watt
so 100watt flouresent = 7000 lumens
7000/1.78= 3932 lumens per foot

Would this be enough?

why don't you use a 125w envirolite in that space it would be perfect its what im using and i am sure it has got about 10,000 lumens i think. that is basically the same size room i have but is just for veg you would need the red bulb to flower but mine go under a 600w hps

Howabout you get one or two cheap HPS floodlights from Home Depot? 35$ on their website for a 50w one, perfect for flowering up to 3 plants IMO.

i just replaced all the lights in my home with cfls !! hopefully it will even out my electricity bill ! and im quite impressed with how bright they are for the wattage.... i am thinking of even getting some for my veg room !

Yeah mate thats not a bad place 2 start growing,I would probably start 2-4 plants in there,2 if ya wonna grow em biggish, or 4 if ya gonna flower very fast, The faster u flower the smaller the yeild but u get more harvests per yr, Obviously if u nveg 4 longer your gonns ave bigger plants wen and once flowered, so its uo to u !! Mate there 's so many strains out there, I mean u can get Indica's -short stocky plant( probably ideal for your space, Also there's Sativa's a longer lankier plant ,the buzz ov a Sativa iz more ov a up/head high, where-as Indica give's u more ov a body stone( OH I JUS WONNA CHIL OUT) , But each 2 there own,Auto-varieties r suppoed 2 b a fairly none smellimg strain, but dun't qoute me on that., Yeah i grew 2 KC BRAINS Northern Lights Special last summer in the garden(10 seeds £11) u won't get much cheaper than that!!!!!!! Literally they were grown under ther sun,sorry started off in the window sil for about a week then i climatised them and they grew perfectly,£1.99p soil a few pots , Thats got b my cheapest grow,my nex grow within the nex 2 weeks,ist one on RIU.ORG,So should b good.!!!!!!!!!
