i am a prespiring gardener and i have a kinda complicated situation. i live with my parents in an apartment building. yes, sounds impossible, but from what ive read in this forum, almost nothing is impossible

.
the only space i can think of for growing is what i currently keep my bong and stash in. its a thich plastic container with a big snap on lid. its 2'x1.5'x2'. as i figured, id line it completely with kevlar, then with tinfoil (reflect the light) and id rig the top with a thick blanket as not to let the light seep out and to allow some air to come in and out. id fill it with an undetermined amount of store bought soil (help me on this one) and then rig a light on the cover pointing towards the soil. i also learned (through smokin and reading) that theres an assload of smell that comes with the plant. i hear that charcoal or carbon filters do well to cover that up, but how much will it cover that up?.
any input is appreciated

That container is shitloads too small. You need at least a decent 6" x 6" pot and about a foot and a half to let the plant grow. As for charcoal filters, they filter out about 90% of the smell, depending on how properly you use one. Other than that, use airfresher constantly or get one of those ones that hang from doors.
You're main problem is growing it though. My suggestion is to either get a grow box, or grow it in a closet. If you can't do that then grow outside, away from your apartment.

Planting from seed is going to produce a bigger plant than growing from a clone. Youre going to need the extra height for a seed grow. You say your area is this (2'x1.5'x2') Its only 2 ft high! If you put a pot in there aswell, then you've even less height to play with (the smallest pots i use are 6" tall) then theres a light to go in there too, so at least another 4- maybe 6" is going to be taken up by that. That leaves you with about 1ft to grow a plant in. Understandably a fluro (if thats what you're gong to use) is going to give a tighter node spacing but i think you ll find it hard to find a strain that small.
But, after saying all that, you could try Lowryder. I have heard reports that it doesnt get much taller than 12" and if you can train it then its better still. Youll only get a very small yield from it but it is auto flowering and can be grown on an 18/6 cycle its entire life.
BTW... dont grow in your parents house. It is not a good idea. Youre risking their freedom if youre in the US.

Jays right. I'd say grow outside, it'll be alot less work and less chance of getting caught.

Hahaha, I would so use that shit, and my teachers would always be sending me down to the office thinking that I was high, and I'd be like, "No man, what are you talking about man, what am I talking about man..." and they'd think they were so smart, until they found out that I wasn't high.

Yes indeed, if this was a real product I'd be buying can after can.
