First time grower in need of guidence

Hi
Thanks for any and all help you may provide.
I am a newbie and this is my first time growing MJ. I will be looking at indoor grow setup and have found 2 places I would like to try and grow some MJ.
I am at the beginning and completely new at this as I have never grown anything in my life but would like to give it a try.

Below I have pictures of 2 closet options as well as the dimensions. I will be looking for stealth growing also.
I would like help with constructing one of these closets for an indoor grow operation.

Any help is appreciated a lot.

Just click the picture and you will see the dimensions of the closets as well.

Big Closet
Height 72"
Width 36"
Depth 22"

Small Closet
Height 32"
Width 24"
Depth 11"

Thank you so so very much

Ok guy.
I am not sure what you were thinking when you posted this same thing three times.
But all you needed was one.

There are many things that you should take into account when designing your grow box.
But the first thing you hould figure out is your budget.

My budget would have to be under $500.

Sorry bout the multiple posts but am just anxious to get started

Two spaces is nice because you can setup a perpetual type setup and always have plants flowering. I would line them with mylar, grab a 30$ 6" duct booster fan at home depot for the veg box. You should probably start out with soil, so do some reading on soil growers. Best bet is to get t5 or t8 florescents for the smaller veg box, and a 400w MH (if you can cool it, need a good fan & sealed hood for this) in the larger box. When venting, you want to install exhaust high and passive intake low (a hole). If your trying to go stealth, you will want to look into carbon filters to control the Oder from your flower box. Check out my closet grow, similar idea but your working with a slightly smaller space. Mine is slightly larger 4.5' x 2.5' x 8' but I was eventually able to get a 600w hps in there with a really good fan. Good luck and check out other journals around here, you'll find everything you need.

Didn't know it was that low. In that case, setup the larger cabinet first. I would spend ~300 on a good t5 hood, at least 20,000 lumens, ideally 30 if u can fit it. Lights are priority in my budget. I would say 400w HPS, but that would cost a lot in accessories to cool it, ect.

Figure out what you want to go where. I suggest use thing smaller one for one or two mothers and clones. Use the big one for flowering.

Then lighting. CFLs are good for the mother box. Flowers either HPS, CMH, or CFL. Lots of money, get a big HPS. Some money, get a couple 150W HPS security lights from lowes. Cheap, use CFLs. HID should be remote ballast.

Then ventilation. If you're running a HID light, you'll probably want to use a cool tube as they get quite hot. Computer fans attached to 12V DC adapters work well, as do inline duct fans.

Then grow type. I'd suggest DWC. It's cheap, easy, and works great. Soil is fine too.

Order some seeds off the net, or just use bagseed for learning on. Go to your local hydro shop and get stocked up on the essentials (nutes, ph tester, growing medium, timers, etc.).

Start growing.

Harvest.

Get high.
