I've been lurking here for a while, thought I'd share what I've learned. Here's how i set my closet up. 1st I got some empty cat litter buckets. These are large close to 5 gallons each. Drilled some holes, glued some pvc I had to the bottom. This lets them drain.

In the closet I built a shelf about 9 inches off the floor. This holds a large plastic storage box

I melted a hole in the bottom of the tub and siliconed a hose to allow water to drain into a smaller plastic container. This way I can flush without taking the plants to the bathtub.

I put a heavy duty bathroom fan in the drop ceiling. this is vented through the roof. The nearest neighbor is over 100 yards away so no need for carbon filter.

For lights I have two 150 watt HPS and one 400 watt HPS/ Metal Halide. I like having more than one light, if one burns out the others will be good till it's replaced. Also I can have 3 different heights when needed.

Next I mix up some grow medium, 50% potting mix 25% perlite 25% vermiculite.

Now I transplant the clones that I have been keeping alive with just barely enough light water and food.

These are over 2 months old.
I didn't have room to let them get bigger till the previous grow was harvested.
So now the plants are (3 indica 3 sativa, all clones from bagseed 4 generations ago) ready to veg under 400 watt MH and two 150 watt HPS. This is Sept. 9th

For nutes I use Better-Gro Orchid Plus which is 20-14-13, and in flower I use Better-Gro Orchid bloom booster 11-35-15, every 3rd or 4th feeding, Also some cal mag once in a while. I know some of you will give me crap for using these nutes but Ive used them for 3 grows and they perform well. When I run out or get some extra cash I'll probably try something else.
