Few Things Needed Still, Need Advice , First Grow

Whats up everyone? I've recently (Last Week) finalized germination and got the seeds planted in their own "Solo" Cups and they now have long stems, pretty firm, haven't used ANY nutes yet and am debating on getting the Fox Farm Trio, Anyone have good outcomes with this trio? I've heard "Ok" things about them, and secondly this is a closed off space in my closet, closed off by tarp, with complete reflective on the inside, pretty small space and they are under a nice cool white florescent about 4 incehs from the 2 plants. I used Miracle Gro All in One the most expensive i could find (Should have used Ocean Soil i know) but i was wondering if i had it set up just right for 2 successful plants. So if anyone has a list of needs that will WORK please help out before its too late to give these ladies their nutes and pH getting out of wack and killing them, Heres what I have, What else is there needed to be successful? Any suggestions would be appreciated i dont get butt-hurt for good criticism !

- Circulating Fan
- Light
- Water (w/ nice drainage)
- Reflective material
- Decent Soil
- Thermometer

Thanks!

What's needed to almost guarantee success? Good sense, seems to be lacking these days with a lot of "growers"

So you're growing in a closet? What size is it? How many watts is the light you have now, what's your budget, ie. maximum you are willing to spend.

You'll need more light. You don't need the most expensive anything just a bit of knowledge. You'll need to test ph so a meter might be good. Ventilation might also be good. Also know your plant will double in height when flowering unless topped so space is something to think about

gonna need bigger pots, keep your temperature between 70-80F, so look into ventilation. They're going to smell when you flower very noticeably so going to need a carbon filter or something to that sort.

I've made a few changes now and went and bought 2 Fixtures for Cfl bulbs and i have bought 2 bulbs that are 1600 Lumens each and 5000K, 1 light for each plant and they are about 4 inches from the plants and i have also replanted from the "Solo" cups to some better bigger pots. I have the fan circulating the air, it blows a little hard though and theres no adjustment, does that matter much? I'm using a 5x5 space that I've partitioned in my closet. It is approximately 74 degrees in there, I do have a small bit of ventilation, and they have plenty of water at the moment, here is what they look like as of now, I had to replant one due to stretching so far for some light and heat but thats solved now.

Ordered:
- Fox Farm Trio
- pH Meter
- 150W Hps Light with Ballast
- Pop-up Grow Tent

Thanks for all of the input! I have a few pics of the ladies now, This is day 6 and now i have some good lights with nice heat they should start to look a little better now if i didnt stunt the growth by replanting so soon. When the tent gets here that is where they will be but for now this will work, i've seen success in horrible grow rooms though but i really want to get into this and have all of the knowledge i need for the next grow. This grow is going to be my trial and error next time i WILL use Ocean soil forsure

Thanks. I have them on order now, Good idea i may need to get these to the tent as soon as it arrives.

You still need more light. For a closet grow look into 8 bulb HO T5 fixtures or LED.
