hello people, i'm just about to start my first grow 
clap:i backpacked around australia for two years with a plant called Norman
which was given to me by someone leaving the country, this plant was mostly kept in a pot in the back of my landcruiser watered as and when i remembered, transplanted a few times and even left outside unprotected and survived a few frosts, norman always survived despite my best ,or worst efforts!) this (and my constant smoking of MJ) has inspired me to do my first proper grow, i would have done it a long time ago but my accomodation has not been ideal, but the time is right.
I will be growing in a large cupboard (no garden) and i will be using LED lights which i have never seen used before, but for me they seem ideal because they produce alot less heat than sodium lighting and consume much less electricity.
Many growers i know of have been caught by the police because of their heat signiture (cops here (UK) love to use their thermal imaging cameras, both hand held and from their helicopters, attic growers are easily spotted!)
my other problem is knowing how much space is reqired per plant, inside the cupboard i will be using a "grow tent" (silver lined inside, black exterior, with built in vents,cable feeds ect)

but i still need to know how much space i will need, or rather how many plants i can fit in! any advice would be greatly appreciated, and i would also love to hear from anybody who has used or is using the LED lighting systems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
absoultley any help, ideas, comments or sugestions will be greatly appreciated, especially from anybody with experience of growing in the UK with our over zealous police (don't you just love 'em??)
thanks for taking the time

just dont tell ANYONE AT ALL that ur growing marijuana!!!! itll be hard but just DONT! use a carbon filter to filter out the smell so no neighbors gets any suspicious ideas! keep the room cooled and vented, by hookin up a gud exhaust system and a gud intake system, and again, make sure the exhaust is hooked up to a carbon filter! even a DIY carbon filter , like te ones u can find on this website!
