Yes the power bill will go up. You can estimate how much by doing a little math and looking at the power bill to see the rates.

Yes it will smell and you will want to use a carbon filter or two to help with the odor. One carbon filter as an exhaust filter and possibly one as a scrubber.

Heat will likely be a concern, lights make heat. What type of lighting and total wattage will help estimate heat load.

I don't know what soil options you have in Australia but there are some Aussie growers here, they even have a thread dedicated to Aussie growers, you can find it in a search and see what those guys are using.

You also want to decide if you will be growing organic or using bottled nutrients.

My suggestion is to go and read some threads on here. Lots of them. Start with the indoor growing, grow room design sections and some grow journals. After a week or two of spending a couple hours a day of reading you will have a much better idea whats going on. Everything you need to know is here. It's just that you don't know what you don't know. Once you get a better understanding of whats required you will be able to ask specific questions and we can give specific answers.

I am not trying to sound like a dick or blow you off it's just that it sounds like you have very little understanding of what all is actually involved.

I found a great spot to download FREE POT BOOKS . I downloaded a grow bible first and got lots more. Books look great and complete like the real ones I have here. No web site but just a page of links. Just right click on what you want and then "Save Link As" to download so they don't open first as many are 50+ megs. They got lots. Enjoy.

:peace:

Research is your friend. Plenty of environmental/lighting/odor questions that must be answered. Here's a source I've used to get going. growweedeasy.com
