Hello,
i usually tell beginners to try to grow 1 plant from beginning to end before they try to do a crop. i also tell them to make it simple, grow in soil and use CFL's. they don't get as hot as HPS/MH, you don't need to worry about ducting and cooling......and you can produce some really good bud with them. and then each grow.. upgrade. but that is just me and how i do things.

Its just a small closet space, I do not have exact measurements at this moment. Growing six girl scout cookies and I have no idea how much they even start at cost wise. A couple suggestions would be great. Thank you very much!

Cool! Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely take them into account. What are "CFL's"?

It all depends on the space and size of your grow area, the number of plants, ventilation, and temperature.
If your going small, like 1-2 plants personal plants , start with cfl lights if the area is decently small then work your way up as you go.
If you are planning a bigger more expensive grow, then start big and go big throughout the whole grow.

With all the questions you are asking here it appears you need to do some reading.
Keep reading until you think you know it all and then continue reading because you don't and never will.
Here is a good start.

Six plants in a small closet is your first mistake.Depending on what size this "small place" in a 2 x 4 for example you probably dont want to go over 2 or 3(3 is probably pushing it).You are gonna have a jungle in there with leaves covering leaves of other plants etc.

200-300 watt cree cob leds Vs CMH for supplementing a 8ftx8ft grow space in a 11ftx11ft room 8ft ceiling. ??? What do the people think.
One downside to autos for new growers is that they're on a fixed lifespan. They don't recover from common newbie mistakes like overwatering.
On the other hand, I think that can be a subtle benefit too. Sometimes a new grower needs to let go and start over with what they learned from the first run at it. An auto makes that happen. So, the negative could be a positive.
The nice thing about an auto for a new grower is that they don't have to buy a tent. They can grow on a kitchen table (if they don't have odor concerns), see if they can grow before investing in a lot of equipment.
