The two main advantages of cabinet growing is stealth (if you make it that way) and easier modifications to the grow chamber. I.E. it's easier to cut an intake hole in a cabinet rather than a closet.

So that should answer your question about what you should do.

I think you will do just fine. Having said that, somethings you'll want to have before you start: a way to ck ph (and way to adjust ph) and a way to ck your temps. Also, you may want to mix the lamps in the shoplight fixtures to get a more even distribution of the different colors.

If you run into problems, there is lots of help here.
