Nice thread. I would start a new discussion. What will we do when we get parents of 16-18 years old children? Will we help them grow and steal the buds?
After all growing plants could get a very very delicious hobby, but more or less unlawful. I remember when i've started smoking tabacco. Both my parents smoked but still i was afraid like shit about them finding me out. Then, ofcourse, they found out. They didn't understood why i was smoking but hey... that's life... i can;t understand either. Later, when i was about 20 years old a friend came to my parents house when i was visiting them and rolled one. I was soooo embarased. My mom started laughting and she said "damn, i have'n seen weed since i was in college, could you roll a few and leave them here so i can have a flashback or two?". Then i understood. We are not the first to smoke them, nor the first to grow them. It's just about perception of life.
Coming back to this thread, tho i grow indoor (my rented apartment) and tho i hate state and its laws i would strongly advise you NOT TO. I've stealthed my growing as much as i could but i still get very paranoid when it comes for people to visit me and i realise that's NOT good. Since summer is coming fast, even indoor experienced growers tend to look to the mother nature and see the forests as friends. If you really wanna grow, go outdoor. Check the babies once a week going bicicle riding, or, as a mate wrote above... start jogging - you'll win twice as you'll grow healthy and you'll have your little secret out there which, hopefully, will give you what you want
