Need some advice on growing...

Ok, my position is this.

I am sick of having to deal with dealers and getting schwag, I want to grow my own personal plants and use in the privacy of my own house.

I don't want the people I live with to find out. (Bear in mind I only want to grow 1 or 2 little plants at a time) My room-mate would he devasted if he found out (really he is very much against weed), but it is technically my house, he just rents so it would not put him in a bad place legally.

I have been thinking about using a pc grow box, in the garage. I realize a lot of you will be against this method of growing put please realize this is all I can do right now, I do not have a good place to grow in a cabinet. This is also for learning purposes, so when I buy a new house and move out like I plan to, I will have the experience to grow properly.

I am not sure whether I should go for it, I am willing to take the risks legally, but still I don't want to get caught. I can put it in a place where it would not be seen or heard, and there is a lot of ventilation as the back door is constantly open. (So I am hoping it won't smell too bad)

Any advice? How difficult is it too grow small amounts without being caught?

Thanks

the only thing you seem to have to worry about is the smell, which no matter how small the plant is, it will smell. and you can try getting ONA gel to help out with that.

everything else sounds fine, just put 2-4 26w cfl in the case and make sure it stays cool.

having a known security risk in your home is a big no-no, you are asking for trouble
if you must grow, put extreme care in your setup, dry run the grow chamber for weeks, use ammonia for smell tests, establish a pattern to see if your roommate notices/asks about what is going on in the garage?

'dry run the grow chamber for weeks, use ammonia for smell tests'

Sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean by dry run the grow chamber for weeks.

dry run usually means grow some other plant to check out chamber grow conditions
this will establish a routine with minimal risk of bad things occurring
the ammonia test is where you put a cup of ammonia in the grow chamber as a test of odor control
if you can't smell the ammonia, then you've got pretty good odor control
