Let me get some pics of the room so you can see what I will be working with.

@Sierra Natural Science 5 Star Grow Kit 19.99 has everything you need from seedling to harvest including pest control.
For your growing medium I use 50% Fox Farms Ocean Forest and 50% Fox Farms Happy Frog on top in 5 gl. grow bags but you can get away with a 3gl. I would think. Any suggestions Shed?
I think either FFOF or FFHF is fine in the whole pot, and FFHF is cheaper if that matters. And how big the pots are depends on all sorts of things like how many plants he wants or how big he wants them.
In a 3½ x 5 foot area you could easily do three 5 gallon pots and fill the space, probably four.
Ventilation is the first concern when sorting out a closet grow area, along with light-proofing.

I think I would go with the smaller grow bag I do not have a lot of room in this closet, and I want to keep the plant small so I can manage it. In any case I have lots of time to figure this out, Any suggestions are good ones. I will start looking Friday. I am getting excited. I can do this I know I can with all of you guys help.
But think of that 10' of headroom you could use!

I can block the window to keep out light but ventilation is new to me, Hell it is all new to me.
Ventilation should be your first consideration. You need a light-proof way to move air into and out of the closet with the door closed and sealed.
Intake is usually from below and exhaust at the top but I reverse mine in the winter to draw warm air in from the top and exhaust it out the bottom.

I like ocean forest on the bottom because it’s hotter and as the plant grows bigger the roots find the ocean at least that’s what was explained to me. Idk? Maybe I was told wrong?
OF has more built-in nutes, none of them needed in a synthetic nute grow and not enough of them in there for a water only grow.

It is a standard ceiling maybe not 10'more like 8' but I have heard of grows in closets smaller than this.But think of that 10' of headroom you could use!

I need to keep it as simple as possible. I am working with no inside grow experience. I only know what you all have taught me about growing.
With short plants you can grow in spaces under 6', as long as you allow room for the light and the any ductwork that might be above it.
Is smell an issue in the house?

Yeah but for the first couple of weeks it’s just watering because the nutrients are still in the soil.

Not to me but my wife maybe but she loves me and wants me to be happy.
I know plenty of folks who feed on the second set of true leaves in OF, so I wouldn't chance it.
If you need smell-proof then you're looking at a more expensive fan/carbon filter combo. If not then an inline booster fan and some ducting will be fine.
You will need to cut holes somewhere though so I hope her love is strong.
If God made anything better than Harley’s,weed or women he kept them for his self.

I have to finish my first grow first. But I still think I can do this.
A little money (maybe a little more), a jigsaw, and some good advice from the folks here and you'll be up and running.
