Welcome
Hey MO
welcome to AFN mate ^_^
You can keep your auto a little smaller by using a small pot 5-6 litre should keep it pretty short and stocky, as far as smell, you never can tell. Most plants i've had have smelled to some degree and all have needed the carbon filter to get rid of it!
I would prepare for a smelly plant - that way you're covered.
We can help you with some plant training advice to keep it a little smaller when you get your thread up and running.
As far as strains go - there's too many good ones to list really, I'd check out some smoke reports and see what you like the sound of, then narrow it down that way. If you've only got a small cab, i'd steer clear of the Super Autos as they could easily outgrow your space.
Let us know if you need any assistance around the forums and we'll be happy to help out!
All the best
Blue ^_^
