first time closet grow.all educated help HIGHly appreciated!
For Vegging you're going to want bulbs that emit 6500k color temp and about 2000 lumen per sq. foot.
For Flowering you'd want 2700K and about 3000 lumen per sq. foot.
Tin foil supposedly causes hot spots so ditch the foil and paint the entire inside of your grow area flat white.
You might have to force flowering when the plants are about 18" tall if you want to avoid them growing too tall before harvest.
Make sure that you have plenty of ventilation because a lot of lights create heat. And you'll also need a fan just to circulate the air inside the grow area, that fan will need to blow on the plants directly but only enough to make them wiggle around slightly, this will make them grow thicker and stronger stems.
I might be wrong on this but a grow area that small you could prob only get away with 2-3 plants, maybe more during veg just in case you end up with males and have to kill em off. You don't want to grow three plants and two end up male leaving you one viable plant, right?
Im sure you'll get more help soon, just wait it out, some of the vets here dont have the ability to be on every second of every day so just have patience. You're going to need a lot of it during you're grow anyhow...
