Hello all,

I am currently running my grow with a lot of problems, but it`s ok...im learning ;-)
In my next grow i want to have a strain that will fit better for my closet size 178X64X41cm (Height,Width,Deep)
and in addition will be NoobFriendly. i`m gonna split my closet to 2 spaces so i guess it will be like half of the space in the closet.

thanks all!

Indica dominant hybrids or pure indica strains are good for new growers since they tend to stay short, and finish relatively quickly, limiting potential problems.

If you're growing in a closet you'll need to make sure temperatures stay controlled, and you have constant fresh air running through the grow area, both for the plants to breathe, to help control temperatures, and also to keep humidity in check.

Make sure that closest is vented, as Jogro said. What kind of lighting are you using? If you are using T5 tubes there might be some interesting options to grow your plants tall instead of wide (and quite significantly increase your area to work with). I don't think you have space for a HPS bulb in there vertically.

I'm currently growing in a closet. It's completely doable, and I have both a vegging/clone area under a T5 light as well as a flower tent running a 400 watt hps.

As Jorgo noted, make sure you have air exchange. I use a 400 cfm 6" fan to pull air out of my tent through a carbon filter which exhausts into a furnace room. Passive air intake through vented slots in the tent. it actually creates negative pressure due to its pull.

My two cents are to invest in a flowering tent and find a cheap or thrown out t lap for florescent lights. find your self a hps of some sort ( trust me, trying to skip on a hps light will just end up buying one later and wasted time) .

only issue I can think of it heat, find a way to remove it
