Okay, I finally decided to start growing tonight. It's 6:30 AM right now and I couldn't go to sleep cause I kept thinking about growing. So, I took my 8 seeds from my last quarter of mids (going to get some dank seeds from a friend tomorrow) and wrapped them in a wet (not soaking ) paper towel, put them in a ziploc container, and put them away to sprout (hopefully).

After they hopefully sprout, I'm planning on moving them to solo cups and then putting them in my closet under a flourescent light to let them vegetate. When they get to be about 6" tall I'm going to pick between 1-3 of the best looking ones and transplant them to 3 gallon pots.

Now, here's my problem. I'm doing this as a stealth operation since I know my roommate wouldn't approve, so I'm growing in my closet. The space I have set aside is 2' x 2' x 8' tall. I've been reading a lot of the threads and also some guides on other sites but I can't figure out if I have to build a grow box or if just sitting the pots down in the closet will be fine. The walls of my closet are white.

Also, how long does the vegetation phase take and when should I switch my lighting out? What type of light (and any other supplies) would I need to buy just to support 1-3 plants (probably 1 for my first time). I'm also on a tight budget.

And will the power used by these lights use up a noticeable amount of power? I'm trying to figure out how much my power bill is going to go up since we split the bills.

Thanks so much guys, and wish me luck.
