First time for everything (Small PC Build)

So I've started prepping my PC Box (1' x 1' x 0.5') and have gotten the materials to begin the process, but I have many questions, hoping to provide a guide for anyone in the situation like mine. I have never grown before, but occasionally followed grow logs and I've seen many PC Builds pop up on here so I'm hopping in. Yes, I'm a little late but my goal is to have 10grams in the end.

My BIGGEST CONCERN is SMELL. I have others living this house and I want smell to be ZERO. I have purchased carbon and will ghetto something together, but I want to know if there's a better way.
Next on my list is strand... I am planning on LST'ing them, so does it matter if I go with a short plant or is it just preference? I was thinking about getting Blue Cheese but it seems (on paper) that it's pretty potent smelling. Is there a strand out there that's strong in smoke and subtle in smell (total newbie here)?
Last concern is lighting. Can I just grab normal 23w CFL's from home depot and throw 'em in? I plan on having 3, I'm trying to keep energy costs at minimum also, so maybe the strand should be chosen with that in mind?

I just want the best bang for my buck and just to have some fun. I was thinking about getting 2 plants, LST'ing them toward each other from opposite ends of a 2.5/3l pot.

I don't like posting pics for security reasons, but I'll get some up when I finish prepping the box. I still think I need to drill some holes and I'm going back and forth on ventilation ideas.

Okay so I can't decide on the strand. My deadline is August 25 for harvest which is possible on some strains I've seen, but I also don't want smell...which seem to be, in my research, inverse properties of marijuana. I'm starting to think this grow might not be successful because I can't have ANY smell.

citrus magic works too but dries too fast.And only keeps it from exiting the room,unless it gets too hot then ur screwed.Other than carbon filtering you're screwed when you start flowering,i mean u could grow some flowers that smell pretty polite.

I would say northern lights is best beginner strain. Neutral smell, good high and easy grow! Will handle almost anything. Can't go too far wrong.
However I don't think you will make deadline for harvest. Is it doable? Yes. But you would need seeds like now! and be germ'in them and everything go smoothly from start to finish. Because remember you need to leave dry time and curing time :)

I wish you luck my friend.
