Hello, first time grower here

This is my first time growing. I have purchased 5 WW seeds from nirvana shop, and am currently waiting on their arrival. In the mean time i have begun drawing plans for my grow room. Now, being a first time grower i figured this would be my best bet for help. My main concerns are a) space b) lighting and c) airflow.

I am going to be growing out of a closet, and in doing so i think it would be best to modify a cabinet to do so. The cabinet i was thinking of getting would have dimensions fit for a depth of 2 feet, width of 4 feet and a height of 5 feet. I am growing for personal use as well as maybe some to extra to bring to a party here and there and toke up a couple people. I was going to use mylar on the interior walls, or as someone else suggested the stuff the reflective shields for car windows is made out of. I really was going to grow 2 plants at a time, but does anyone know how many plants i could fit in this system to still gain a high yield? Soil medium btw.

I understand that there are different bulbs recommended for different stages, but what wattage/amount of bulbs would be ideal for this set up? i may also add a shelf on top to create a dark place for germination/clones

Seeing as this cabinet will be in my closet, there will be no windows for ventilation, so the exhaust fans will go straight into the closet. Will this be sufficient supposing i have one fan at the top for dispelling heat and one halfway or lower for intake?

I understand this is a lot to ask, and i have read up a lot on this, but being new to the grow scene this is a lot to take in. It's just that i moved to a new city and don't really have any connections that i trust, so i thought it would be smart to be self sufficient. Also i have heard that there is a way to do perpetual growing, anyone know about this? thanks in advance

In that space you could fit 4 to 5 plants. I am currently growing 4 plants and a 400 watt HPS works perfect, could probably do a couple more plants too. For ventilation your plan sounds good. A perpetual grow, the way I understand it is pretty much plant a seed/ clone every week, and then once they start getting ready to harvest you can harvest a plant every week, this might be hard until you are able to produce some clones though, and in your space it would difficult, considering flowering takes 8 weeks minimum, plus the vegitative stage, you'd have like at least 15 plants growing by the time the first was ready to harvest, but you could offset them by two or three weeks, that might work. I would get this first grow under your belt though.

Welcome to RIU !

Your gonna be havin some fun as your gonna have to figure out a way to get fresh air into that closet and your gonna need to deal with odor control

best thing I can offer is read my NooB Advice thread while your waitin for your seeds, once you get going I answer questions there as well

Good Luck

i may look into a carbon filter for the oder control. won't directing the intake towards the open and leaving the closet door open (not the cabinet where my grow room is) provide enough air?

you need an intake and exhaust. intake on the bottom, exhaust on top.

the plants need fresh air, and it's a good idea to have a fan circulating air in there.

one more question. should i bother with a humidifier?

what is the humidity like now?, is it low or high?

right now i don't have my box built, but also, would i be better off growing one big ww plant in here, or 4-5? like what would give me a better yield in the end?
