Basically, I'm tryna create a grow with the cheap but still effective lighting, keep the odor on the low, and a good yield. If not a good yield, then a strain that has a quick process so I can start over again quickly. Thanks for all the replies, I think this can turn into something beautiful, and I hope it does. Peace.
I had a very elaborate attic grow room with up to 30 plants, hydro. Yes, hydro can create huge ceiling damage if it leaks. Mine did a couple times. I never had an aroma problem in the house. The attic was the warmest room and the warm air vented upwards and outwards - never down into the house. I used a 1000w. halogen bulb & ballast which added about $15.00/month to the hydro bill. I also used a hydro system called "plantation 3000". Your local hydro shop will remember it. Watch how much weight you put on your attic floor too. You don't want the ceiling caving in on you. You can buy a complete flourescent fixture and 2 bulbs for about $25-35 depending on if they are on sale at Home depot. I had these fixtures strung by pulleys and I could raise the lights as needed. You can buy special flour. grow tubes that will fit these fixtures. There will be no noticeable increase in the monthly bill.

I echo a couple comments here. Tell no one. Absolutely no one. Start out simple and build on it slowly. Remember, in case you forgot, tell no one.
