I'm completely new to growing marijuana, but would like to give it a go, as paying £20 for a few spliff's worth of weed is not my idea of value.

I have two questions:
1) Would it ever be possible to grow a plant in the closet above the boiler in my bedroom, without anybody else in the house being able to smell it?


2) If no, then what time of year will a plant actually grow? I live in the UK next to a vast expanse of hills and fields, and will have no trouble hiding a few plants within the bushes. It is starting to warm up now, but will they actually grow in february or do I have to wait til spring?
Also, if so, which strains grow best at this time of year?
Thanks

grow in your cupboard mate,temps should be about 25c and 15-18 night time,get a fan for air movement,cfl light is a good choice but without the mesurements and plants your going with people wont be able to help that much,as for the outdoor thing,itss wayyyyy to cold,wait until may,if it a good may or april to be safe,altho you have to wait until they want to flower themselves as you can control the sun =P so a good start would be in your cupboard,

size?
temps?
do you have fans for airmovment?
can you install pc fans?
what plants?

okay so here is the cupboard i intend to use

I have fed a long extention cable up into it through the floor of the closet.

here is a more detailed view

There is a hole in the ceiling, that i assume leads straight into the attic, would installing a fan in there be effective? (you can leave the logistics of it to me, i just want to know what will work)

It's above the boiler so the temperature would always be around room temp or higher, but rarely high enough to be uncomfortable.

I would be using small plants of course, possibly auto flowering. Does anyone have any reccomendations on strains that give off very low or low amounts of odour?

thanks

Dont host growing pics on Imageshack etc... It makes you easier to trace...

Once you get lights in there the temp will increase so CFL's are probably your only option.

All weed stinks so good extraction is a must - as you say the attic is above I'd fit your inline fan in the attic and extract throught the ceiling.

If air can't escape the cuboard neither will the smell into your house, but unless you have a carbon filter the air your extracting will stink.

You could probably use a 200W red CFL with reflector & grow 1-2 auto's in there using LST, SOG, SROG to keep plants low & wide and get a reasonable yield.

I'm thinking of getting some Auto's going indoors March/April and sticking them outside once they start to flower (by which time it should be warm enough for them to survive outdoors).

Like has been said, CFL lighting and extraction into the loft (use a carbon filter!) and you shouldn't have too much of an issue, the only problems are height so choose your plants with care. Auto's are probably your best bet.

Just as a taster of what can be done.....
