OK, I haven't read the FAQs yet but will after this. What I'm looking for now is just some first impressions.

My situation is that I'm voluntarily going dry for a bit, so I figured what better time to start growing...and what better way to celebrate if/when I'm successful!! I'm not too familiar with the area I live in, so I think I'm going to try and grow at home.

Now, I plan to grow on my balcony. I live on the first floor. The patio area is about 5ft x 6ft x 12ft (WxLxH). In front of the patio is a 'divider' that comes up about 5ft or so, so you can't really see anything on my patio unless it's over that divider.

My concern is smell. I believe the patio will provide enough light and space. However, I'm worried that as the plants mature, the smell will increase, and this will woft through the nieghboorhood. I really rather not have someone come snooping on my deck b/c they think they smell herb.

So, is the smell going to be THAT bad? I may consider indoor growing but I gotta continue to warm the wife to that idea.
