Thanks. This will help.
EDIT: Is there a practical way to analyze spectrum to be sure?

For my first grow I would honestly be happy if I end up with with one female from my bag seed. I'm trying to hide it from my kids - they have big mouths and im in a rural location in the bible belt
At first, i plan on seeding + veg (along with legit garden plants) and move weed outdoors off my property but nearby. I don't know if I have a good guerilla site or not cuz there's a lot of trees. So ill just have to try and see (it is secure though).
While I wait for the outdoor grow or if it goes bad, it would be nice to try a stealth indoor under my house. It's a crawl space but I can stand up in there. I'm sure a few problems will arise - maybe temperature in winter. Ive seen it down to 55F under there when it's 20F outside. But I'm hoping lights and maybe a heat mat will help. The summer temps should be fine. Usually around 65F in extreme heat. I imagine I can keep a couple of plants going and there's room for expansion if it goes well. I don't toke that much so i dont need a lot.
Hey, I just realized I could actually grow in the ground under my house instead of buckets....
