Cfl Autoflowering Grow Size?

Hello, I two available stealth grow areas. I have my PC case and my drawers. Ideally I would like to use the Pc case as its MUCH smaller and more stealth, but I am worried about the size..

I'm not 100% sure on the size but Its roughly 45cm high, and this is very small seeing as I need to get my light, plant pot + the plant in the space...

The drawers are massive but it would be too obvious and I'd like to try to avoid that..

So, basicly, what is the smallest autoflowering strain I can get? And what size could it be height wise and the average yield (ill be using a 125watt cfl light) or at least what I could be looking at (just a ball park figure)

after 8/9 weeks of love and work you'll want something to show for it ... it can be done in a pc case ... i tryed and failed but i've seen others manage it, i am using a childs wardrobe and its full up with three plants (and they are much bigger then i'd thought they would be)

So, you saying try it in my drawers? The main issue I am thinking off here is the smell... Does that tend to be a big issue? I live next to a school field and smell would obviously be a big issue if its bad

Yeah, it will likely stink. For a little more than the price of making a dresser grow box you could get a small tent for maybe $70 from Amazon. Royal Dwarf from Royal seeds stayed really small at 8'' in a 1/2 gallon for me with a CFL veg and HPS flower.

if your doing a couple of autos it wont chuck up too much, nirvana northern lights auto and nirvana blue mystic auto are said to have a neutral smell while growing (i have both sets of seeds yet to try them) ... but maybe just choose something like that if your worried ... take as few risks as possible is a good plan

my cabinet is venting directly into the shed its standing in (which stays shut all day, and it only smells a tiny bit hardly noticable at all

it would be draws all the way for me mate :-)

geting a tent wont help your smell issues ... you'll still gonna need a carbon filter to remove the smell ...and a decent inline fan to pull/push the air though it ..... and thats costs money ... all nice stuff to have i must admit

if the budget is tight .... i'd choose a strain that isnt likely to be too smelly ... roll with the draws use pc fans to vent and go from there

you can do it in a PC case, just gonna have to LST it early on and keep up on it. You can attempt to top it, but you are gonna have to do that as early as possible, as auto-flowering plants can't be forced to stay in veg.

yeah it is possible... but the return hardly makes it worth while

i'd rather grow 2-3 plants full size and have a decent amount at the end ..... thats what its all about is it not

My budget is not too bad. as if I can't afford all of the resources then I don't mind getting most stuff now then waiting until the end of january when I get paid again (I'd rather wait and get good plants then just rush into it now).

I am going to make a video in a little while showing my grow case and drawer then upload it for this thread so I cna show you all what I have currently got. Ill try to make the video and upload within the next hour and half or so.
