    Default Advice needed

    Im trying to start my own grow soon, a small grow of around 3 plants.

    what i need to know is

    1. Whats the best light? ( ideally i want to use just 1, maby on a cord so i can move it around.)
    2. whats the best seeds ( i think im going to use auto's, the least smell the better.)
    3. how connect my light to electrics of my house


    Also just basic tips on growing in small areas and reducing smell. i plan on using just water and light. im on a very low budget so the cheaper the better


    Any help would be greatly apprecated

    1. Whats the best light? ( ideally i want to use just 1, maby on a cord so i can move it around.) ~ CFL light, go for a 250w RED one ok
    2. whats the best seeds ( i think im going to use auto's, the least smell the better.) ~ Auto varieties can smell just as bad as any other can,
    3. how connect my light to electrics of my house, ~ the usual plug method


    Also just basic tips on growing in small areas and reducing smell. i plan on using just water and light. im on a very low budget so the cheaper the better

    Why dont you think this is not good advice wert??

    I have never grown a auto so i may be wrong.. But i have grown strains such as..

    Blue cheese
    Cheese
    Super Silver
    Lemon
    Mango

    Most of the time about 30 in a nft tray and they have not stunk untill i chop them down... What i mean is you dont smell them untill you open the grow room door... So in my eyes.. What i wrote was good enough advice...

    3 plants would give other feck all of a smell would they really ?? Untill you cut it down..



    Amen

    no offence meant vetran,i just thought with the amount of first time growers about saying that three autos give off no smell to worry about may send the wrong message to a novice.
    apart from that there are strong smelling strains which more or less gurentee a smelly harvest but many strains may range fom a not so smelly pheno to a stronger smelling one. few strains that are hybrids[autos]will smell the same strength throughout a crop grown from seed.

    yeh that is a problem in its self, becoming immune to the smell!

    i always ask my best mate, who's the only one who knows im growing and i trust completely, if there's ever a noticable smell of weed any time he comes along
    i use constant measures to mask the smell with plug-in air freshners and i burn incense constantly too, but i do that whether im growing or not

    thankfully its always been masked apart from harvest time, when it stinks! and then gradually disappeares after the first few drying days


    remember you get used to the smell, but others dont so play it safe
