my girlfriend didn't allow me to grow either for 13 years cause i got busted back then cause my neighbours smelled them and reported it, and she doesnt smoke at all so she said no to grow...
since i never got any punishment or fine back then cause i only had few plants, i could convince her that the risks are minimal
she has allowed me now as long as i dont take more than allowed in the country i live in and have also taken small auto plants with less scent and we live in a house with no neighbours attached now so the risk is a bit lower..
also i grow now for seeds and for my own new strain and as soon as that is achieved its guerrilla time so i can have one yield maybe two for the entire year so its mostly a money question now and not as much the chance of getting caught.
i also told her its not as much the smokes i wanna grow for, but it has allways been my biggest hobby's (wich is the truth) and every one should be able to do what they like most in their free time
my tip would be to convince her that its for the bennefit of the family cause you dont have to go to unknown dealers or maybe even run into an undercover and have to do time. or as some allready advised you can go outdoors (guerrilla).
that way no one can come to your house and smell them so its not as much dangerous as growing indoors
hope somehow you manage to find a way to grow some and be able to see those beauty's go from small seeds to fine looking buds
