I want to start growing, but I know little, so I have a ton of basic questions...

Hey,

First of all, I'm not growing to sell. I'm growing so that me and a few friends (6-7) can get stoned every Friday and Saturday night and have a good time without spending the whole day trying to find weed. This will be more convenient and less expensive. Ya know? =)

1) How many plants will I need? We usually only burn an 1/8 every weekend. Good stuff is expensive around here. I'm guessing 1 or 2. I know this depends on what strain I choose, and what yield it has.

So, I'd like some recomendations on what seeds you guys think I should grow. I'm just starting out.

These basic questions I've found around the internet, so you guys can better understand my needs:

Q: Are you growing indoors or outdoors?
A: Indoors. Outdoor site preparation seems like too much work for my living situation right now.

Q: What climate zone do you live in?
A: Northeast.

Q: Sativa or indica?
A: Indica. If I need 2 plants, I'd like one of each.

Q: Soil or hydro?
A: Soil.

Q: Do you prefer an up high or a couch stone?
A: Couch. Gotta be chilled out and relaxed.

Q: Are your priorities yield and finishing time or quality and aroma?
A: Stealth (damn parents) > Quality > Yield > Finishing Time > Taste. If I had to choose the smelliest, but best smoke, or a pretty bad smoke, but least smell, I would be forced to choose the one with the least smell, sadly enough. Damn parents.

Q: What is your price range? How much are you willing to pay for seeds or clones?
A: I thought they were all pretty cheap. I have no idea...

Q: How long do you want to wait to harvest? Some are 6 week cash-croppers, some will take up to 14 weeks to flower. Many strains take 7-8 weeks.
A: No plant (heh, almost) is worth 14 weeks to me. 6 sounds like dirt bud. 7-8, maybe 10 sounds reasonable.

As for the actual growing part, it would be great if you guys can point me in the direction of a F.A.Q. or something that will show someone how to grow a couple plants in a closet with a budget light or two.

What lights should I get? By now, you should have a feeling of my requirements. Budget is a top concern.

If I think of anything else, I'll post.

Thanks alot!
