I Also think i could slide something between the closet so i will be fine, (by the way when the closet closes to it's fulliest, there is probably about 1/5 of an inch left open, which i just realised). Also how many times should i water, fertilize, and resoil, per day, week, month, etc.

P.S do u mean the total amount from the time the plant dies, or simply buying the lights, not counting the electricity, and other things.
Have you ever touched a lightbulb? Imagine that, but in your grow room. If you set yourself up with some nice CFL's for vegetative, you could go all out and get an HPS for flowering, which is great for your plants. Second of all, I would suggest mylar instead of tin foil. It's a very reflective material and allows more light to be absorbed by the plants. Also, you're gonna wanna take care of that 1/5 inch. Just a little bit of light may mess up your flowering.

Try a mixture of 1/3 perlite, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 peat moss. Add more peat moss if you need more drainage. You might wanna go with bat guano, or something else you find locally at a hydro shop. Make sure to check the NPK, and I really don't wanna get more into this now, so try searching the boards a little bit.

Good lights are gonna run you anywhere between, oh say 150 to 400, and even more if you're gonna put a cool tube in. The lights ALONE. It can turn into quite an expensive endeavour fast, especially when you start looking at more expensive ferts, tds pens, ducts for fresh air, etc. Really, really research this before just jumping right into it, and make sure you have the resources and are ready to deal with the consequences. After all, you wouldn't want to have a baby that you couldn't afford to feed, right?
