ive descided to do this grow extremely stealthy. so during this week of july/august i plan on digging a 3X3X4 or a 3X3.5X4 hole in my cellur. you be the judge. i plan on grown 4 plants here eventually but due to money problems i can only get the equipment for 1 plant. My lights will be 23 watt soft white cfls how ever many it takes to grow bomb bud without gowing over 250 watts. For air ill be using a duralast house fan with an exhaust setting and another fan pulling air in plus ill leave it open when im there for fresh air to really enter and then a small fan in there blowing on the canopy/stems. Durring flowering ill make a diy co2 bottle and after this harvest ill plant all 4 plants and use nutes. For smell im usin gonzo odar. And i dont know if i should lst or scrog them. Any feedback and help making it will be appreciated.

Well, for VEG youll want to use "DAYLIGHT" 6500k, not soft white 2700-3200k. Use the soft whites 2700k when you go to flowering. If your budget will really allow you to use and buy upto 250watts of CFLs, you should be able to grow 4 plants, if setup properly. Im doing more than that, with much much less.

The only think i would think would be an issue is, mold maybe?? If its in a cellar, they are usually dank. And then, night temps. Check up on temps, i think they shouldnt change more than ~10-15deg during flowering.

As for LST or SCROG, I'd go scrog, You just cannot go wrong. EITHER WAY, you will want to do one, or the other with CFLs. SCROG is MUCH less time consuming than LST.
