Help with basic electric wiring

I want to make a stealth grow in my closet and that you dont see any cords going into the closet, which would make people less inclined to go look what I got going on.

On the other side of the wall of the closet is an outlet. I want to know if I can make a hole in the wall of the closet until I reach the electrical wiring and make an outlet from there somehow.

I dont even know if this is possible and this is the closest subforum of this site to post a question related to the topic.

Please help me I can really use it, also keep in mind I have nearly no electrical knowledge and am on a tight budget.

As I have said before I am on a tight budget so cant hire anyone as well as tell anyone about my grow operation, but I am willing to learn given someone explains it to me carefully as well as any electrical equipment I need.

Yes, exactly what I did. I cut a hole inside the closet, right behind the outlet that is on side of the room. I pulled the existing outlet out(turned off power to the room first). Took, 14-1 wire and ran it to the new outlet, put in a pop-in box, finished wiring it up put the cover plate on and wah-lah, no wires running into my closet, everything is plugged up inside the closet. Cost me about 10 bucks. But please, if you have no idea or knowledge of electricity, I suggest you not attempt. Find someone to show you how to do it. Its not hard, but you have to understand a few things first.
