For 1-5 plants a closet, basement area...etc.. about 6 X 4 x 6-8 high. depends on strain.. stay away from a sativa (Tall) and get a indica dominant (more bushy), even an auto flower strain like lowryder ... the more space you can will help avoid heat and air problems..... luck

you will have about 15sqft of floor space needed for 5 mature plants,so a closet is a good option. I like the ones under the stairs as they are more square than rectangle shaped. You can use a 430 watt light but a 600 would be better. You will need to address the temp in the space as well.

The aero garden will work. However it will do better from clones as you can flower them first thing. From seed they will need to grow for a month at least. At that point they will by to tall for the unit. In any event the harvest will be very small. I have heard of people getting an ounce from the grow. For me that wont work. I smoke about an ounce a week so id need a shitload of them to keep me in smoke. Like I said if you dont smoke much I guess it would be ok. I dont think its worth the trouble or risk. If you only smoke 1/2 an ounce a month you should get a good hook uo and skip the growing.
