Growing In Basement

[meltedbutter421]

I was inspired by this thread to maybe try a little growing.
Few questions though:
Will a dark basement be a bad place to grow in?
I have a room thats off of my finished basement thats like the cement storage place. Will growing in there cause a lot of bugs or mites? Will mice be attracted to the smell of the plant?
Is there any sort of timer i could buy to turn on and off the lights so i dont have to go downstairs every 12 hours (i live with my parents, theyd probably get skeptic)

Alright it think that covers it for my questions for now... if i have more ill post later.

Basement should be fine. Just clean it up real good before you start and pay attention to things like humidity and temperature. Basements get very damp and that's bad for plants, especially in flower. They also get very cold in the winter and thats bad for plants too. Any old plug in timer from Walmart/Home Depot/hydro shop/etc will work for automatic light on and off.

just be careful gowing with your parents in the house. any glowing will attract attention and the smell will alert people hella quick..

looks like a good way to get in alot of trouble for no real good reason.
