Thanks for all the great replys!

Yes my ultimate goal is 1lb per month. And I understand that I wont get that right away. I will be starting out somewhat small because I am limited to working with seeds at first.

I will be getting some big bud and white widow seeds. I had some white widow while in amsterdamn some years ago and it was just wonderfull.

After thinking about it I will need at least 2 ballasts. I want to use the bedroom's closet as a 2ndary grow area where I can continue to Veg plants while the main room is for flowering. Would a 400w MH be to hot for a 8'x8'x2' closet? Should I go with a 250 instead?

Also I think I saw the bubbler method DIY post already. I dont quite get how it keeps the plants well fed. I cant see how air stones at the bottom of the reservoir make enough agitation to get water to the roots...

And I was planning to buy all or most of my stuff from insidesun.

I am not as worried about the smell as I am the electric bill. I dont care about the added cost to run the lights, I am worried about getting reported to the cops. What If I just turned my water heater off for good? MY water heater has a control box, and it has a timer, but It doesnt have the "things" on the timer to make it go on and off. Not that I can see anyway. However there is a switch to manually turn it off. If I did that then how much lighting can I have? And when my lights are off during the 12/12 should I turn on lots of lights in my house to compensate so the electric company doesnt see a huge pattern... what do you think?

As for the A/C and ventilation thing... The room has 1 window. It is about 2 feet wide and goes from the floor to the ceiling and is in a corner of the room next to the closet. I was thinking about leaving the windows open and still have the A/C installed. Then I would seal off the window from the rest of the room about 2 feet bacl from the window. Then I would install the venting fans into the "fake wall" I made. That is one idea I have. That way it looks normal if anyone looks at the window. But There is some trees the do a good job of blocking the view of that window. I rather not have to go that far, but I guess I could...

Anyhow I really really need to produce at least 1lb of dry bud every 4 months or this is really not worth it for me. But I am not worried because I have found this nice place. =D
