I wanted to edit the previous post, but can't find any edit button.

I meant that I was planning to get a lamp timer for the later (flowering) stage, not veg.

Does anyone know if I would see any difference in a small closet between several CFL bulbs verus fluorescents-strip? Also, as asked above, any recommended soil/substrate for a small closet grow?

Another question I wanted to add was, instead of lining the inside of the closet with foil or another reflective lining, I'm considering flat white matt-board, as I've got some at the house. Any knowledge if this would reflect enough of the cool-spectrum light needed for growth? I'd assume so, but I'm sure someone else has had experience with it.
