Growing autoflowering seeds without grow tent/room

Hello,
Looking to grow for the first time using autoflowering, feminised seeds. It will just be a trial really so I was thinking of just having a plant pot in my room with a light, without any real setup (e.g grow tent/cupboard/room). Obviously the result won't be as good, but will it still be worth doing? (just as a trial run)
I have been searching the boards but can't find an answer to my question

Thanks!

I say germinate and pop it in a pot with some soil and leave in a nice sunny place, like a window sill or something.

Go for it :peace:

it depends on if you have other plants going - if so, then i would pay attention to the real girls and not waste time on the autos - i did some in full sun last year and it was nothing but a headache - some of them developed weird ruderalis traits and all of them stayed relatively small - they yielded less than one oz per plant.. also, the smoke seems harsh and burns hotter than good dense bud..

looks nice mate. what would you reccommend for nutrients? for soil think i will just mix 3/4 of some standard soil with 1/4 perlite. any other advice would be good too

i use general hydroponics flora nova grow and bloom for nutes. those are just basic and they will carry you all the way through, but i also add sea kelp and sugar (both bottled nutes from GH). you want a minimum of 18/6 lighting all the way through, and don't excessively prune autos i.e. topping fimming or lollipopping. so besides the obvious things like temp, or over/under watering you should be good to go
