You'll probably find that you don't need to add anything with miracle grow soil. You also might find that the stuff is too hot, especially for a small plant. And eventually, you'll find that your growspace is too small. 48" isn't bad but it's too narrow; at least, I think it is. But then we make due with what we have. Just water it and see what happens. Go to the plant problems forum if problems develop.

i have never had success with just MG i mix 1/3 perlte 1/3 peat moss and 1/3 MG works geat and the space is tiny but there are eople that grow in hollow pc towers so if you just want to grow then it s good
might want to have 2 fans 1 for venting in air (from the bottom) and 1 venting out air from the top
and i would paint the walls white to increase light reflection foil isnt that good but it is better then nothing
and for nutes plants like nitrogen durring veg and phosphorus durring flowering and they should be added after the roots have settled in generally after 2 weeks
dont start at full dose start at 1/4 dose then work your way up to full doses.
and the best temperature is around 75

Look into Mylar instead of Foil. Foil isnt the best reflective surface and will increase heat in that small box. Ive seen people get away with it but try Mylar... or some flat white surface.
