:joint:Hi guys Im new to this site but not to the almighty herb

I live in South London, UK and am sick of paying thru the nose for weed!
Quality is good but quantity is certainly not, Its about 1.6 grams for £20, I smoke everyday as much as i can and am spending far too much cash on it - therefore i have decided i will be growing my own indoors.
I have grown outdoors a few times with mixed results, Always hit hard by mould when the plants were just about ready, Damn british weather - sucks! Ive attached a few random photos from my 2011 outdoor grow, such beautiful plants:thumbs:
Anyway, enough about me lol, I need advice pls.
I want to grow a minimum of 3oz of bone dry bud every harvest, i will be growing Female Autoflowering plants, I have a tent that is roughly 4.5 ft tall and 2 ft x 2 ft width and depth, the tent will be in my converted loft room, in a large storage cupboard, Stealth is key, which is why LED's are the way for me, i have never grown indoors before btw...
With money not really an issue as i will be saving myself a fortune in the long run i need advice on the right light for my space and 3 oz target per harvest!
Ive been sooo close to purchasing the Cali Lightworks Solarflare 200w (5w diodes) and may still do so, the only concerns i have is A) its got to come from America making returns or faults a bit of an issue and it must also come thru customs (not too bothered about that tbh)
It has very few but very good reviews.. it is about £300 delivered from the states!
But my head keeps being turned by the LED's i can buy in the UK:
Evader 240w
Blackstar 240w
Penetrator series etc
Do these lights really stack up to the Solar Flare - none of them use anything above 3w if im not mistaken, Would these lights be sufficient for my needs??
ps i will be using a Fan/Carbon filter combo in the tent.... Will this eliminate the smell completely? , i also plan to light some strong smelling candles too during flowering..
Any help would be much appreciated people!
Ps i Will start a diary as soon as im up n running:thumbs::thumbs:
