1. from what ive researched it looks like the sog method would be the best way to utilize the little space i have (even though it might be to short?)

2. 2 if i use the sog method what size pots should i use.

3. what kind of lights should i use and what wattage etc. but i need the lowest amount of electricity used whatever will show up less on the electric bill.

4. also from the beginning (germ.) to flowering how should i do it i researched it pretty well and there was soo many diff ways and im not sure what to use for the sog method. so how long should i veg and how long should i flower approximately.

5. how can i keep the plants from growing tall and also can i just veg them until they get to the point where the cant get any taller because of the space and then switch them to flowering.(i know the buds wont be as big and such) but is this possible.

6. i need to get seeds so what should i ask for from some friends that are common strains that could be easily acesses but are substantionly better than mids or middies and also they need to be short
These are all excellent questions...You seem to have done some research into many areas of the grow your lookin' to do...You didn't mention air circulation or temps but I'm sure that's on your list as well...
As far as living at home goes,if you're talkin' about growin' some shit in your parents basement without them knowing about it,"DON'T DO IT!!!"I don't care if you have the ultimate stealth grow cabinet in the universe or a ghetto grow in a crawl space,you wanna grow,leave your parents out of it...Keep reading man,suck up all the grow knowledge you can...
