Got any pics? Soil, hydro? What kind of lights are you working with? 2.5' high is cutting it close but I'm sure it can be done. I would recommend an LST grow or a No Mercy grow. Check out some grow journals here as many people have pulled off compact grows with decent results.

your size is small but you can make it work, i would look into a grow tent to keep light in the closet....how stealthy are you looking for there are a bunch of guys on this site doing stealth grows with storage totes, secret rooms, etc gotta use your imagination and come up with something that is going to work in your scenario
your going to need something with a low profile so you can use all the height in your space so five gallon buckets are probly out
what kind of lights are you going to use?

I reccommend attitude seed bank. Very fast delivery and very stealthy and great great selection. Also I DO NOT recommend the LED lights. So far the majority of what iv read is bad about the growth time your plants get when using LEDs. Of course there have been an occasional good grow using them but in all honesty i think they just take a LOT longer. Id save your money and get some T5's or some CFL's for vegging. and go witht he 400 or 600 wat HPS for flowering. you will NOT be dissappointed!

I agree with sportsman. CFLs and the 400/600 watt HPS will do you just fine. I just checked out Boss's LED grow and he said they sucked. Supplemental CFLs are needed for flowering and the price is just too steep when there are other tried and true ways to deal with lighting. There is also a sweetspot with LEDs which means they can't be too close or too far. There were definitely pros and cons though.
Here's what Boss said about the LEDs in his LED/CFL Grow Test.

a couple of good construction grade extension cords will probly do you fine, just dont mow em hahah. construction grade is more expensive but it handles the power alot better without getting hot
