Just because your friend bombed out doesnt mean u will. Its not about the watts, its about the lumens and how you use them.
Mylar is a good but Panda plastic is better IMO, it reflects light really well, its easy to clean, apposed to scratching up your mylar, and it wont let light escape or tear.
Your working in basically a 3x2.5 area, this is not alot of space, how many do u plan on growing at once?
In my opinion, i wish i would of had someone tell me this when i built my closet the first go around.. Get a grow tent, proper ventelation, then worry about your lighting. Dont cut corners, and do your research before you choose lighting, T5's and CFL's can do the same as a MH or HPS, its all about strategy man. You can make a few CFL's work to your advantage depending on how creative you are.

Good luck

Hey goodolboy going with my original plans, I was trying to be a cheap ass and throw together a cheap room. I decided against so I sent that 400watt system back today for refund and I'm buying GL80 tent to put in closet. Would a 6" duct booster fan be enough to pull through a air cooled hood and cool a 250 watt? Or should I get like a sunleaves 4" or 6" fan? So I'll be ordering a GL80 tent with my next check on the 26th this month. Ill get plenty of good ventilation for tent. One fan pulling air through ducting through hood and out tent to cool hood without touching air in tent and another fan either blowing fresh air in or pulling air out of tent with passive intakes open allowing air to replace. Ill order light with following check and hopefully soil, pots, seeds with same check.. Either way I plan on starting first grow around Christmas, the dec 24th is a payday for me and 3rd check from now. Definitely should be able to have everything by then hopefully... I'll start a separate grow log when I start first grow
