Hi this is my first grow and am looking for a bit of help. I am about to get white widow or ak 47 seeds. I am going to be growing 2-4 plants in a small closet in my bookcase in soil. I was hoping for some advice on a setup. I was thinking cfl's because of my limited space. Im also trying to keep it a stealth grow because if certain people in my house found it they would want some of the end product.

CFLs work fine many growers here have used CFLs from start to finish just make sure you make reflectors to keep in as much light as possible and use cool day light CFLs for veg and warm light for flowering. You be fine, just give them some TLC and they nature will take care of the rest ofter all there weeds there natural born survivors.
