I started with a 135w ufo 7band and 4 4ft t5's for 5 plants in 3gal bags. The t5's were mounted to the corner poles of a 2'X3'X5' tent. Moved to a 2'X4'X7' and two bs240uv and the 4 4ft t5s for five plants in 3gal airpots or 3 plants in 5gal airpots. Royal Queen seeds have never let me down and I always recomend them to first timers, just finishing a bluematic. CFLs make good side lighting and veg lights for small spaces. Check some of the grows for the strain you choose and always read Muddys' sticky of life cycle before you start. Good luck and good grow karma.
Sounds like a good set up .. i was thinking some cfls just for extra like put them up the corners .. also would you happen to have some pictures of your plants from royal queen seeds and also what sort of yeilds have you been getting per plant .?

Setup looks ok to me. I would add a dimmer for the fan as it will cool the Space too much down for a Led + i would look into a cheap Growtent also Eb§$ has some nice cheap Tents theese Days. Defo better than a Wardrobe.
I did look into a tent but I'm looking for a stealthy kinder sort of thing due to my location in the world and due to where I live and who I live with a wardrobe with a lock sounds better then a black tent in my room lol I will be insulating it and also lining it with maylar sheeting
... Ordering my light and some stuff next Friday to make a start on my build will keep you all posted so any input will be greatfull will also add photos of my wardrobe tomorrow so you can see what I have to work with thanks Sam

These are pics of the bluematic that I will harvest next weekend and a pic of my original tent (2X3X5ft) and the newer tent (2X4X7) and lights that I moved her into. Heat and smell will be issues for a grow like you discribe, and with the filter inside the grow space the size of the plants will be small and pot size will be a lot smaller than the 5 gal airpot I used. Yeilds of an ounce from plants 12in-15in should be easy with RQ easy bud and several growers on this site have done more with the same plants in smaller pots. The 135w led and 4 t5s gave off about 7-10 degrees F which was easy to remove with a small fan. Do you have a way to move your exhaust out of the grow room, because if you don't the heat will build quickly, so the room temp should be cool (72-75f). There are wardrobe grow boxes but they can be costly. If the lock on the wardrobe is all the security you are going to have you may want to think about this some more. Do you have a closet to use? Remember you can have too much light.
