A little background - I don't smoke weed often, its more of a social thing for me and I felt like picking up a new hobby so I said what the hell, might as well try.
I have been reading on growing for about 3 weeks now and decided to give it a shot to grow a plant in my closet.
I have a pot, soil, nutrients, some lights, a little device for temperature + humidity, and I'm waiting for my seed to come in (ordered online last week only to realize that theres a seedbank a 40 min drive away).
Currently I have 2x 23w 2700k (1600lum) bulbs and 1x 23w 6500k (1600lum) bulb hooked up, tested and ready to go.
I have 2 6500k's - Should I swap 1 2700k to have 2x 6500's and 1 2700 for the veg stages?
At the moment, it currently looks like this:
I am in the process of figuring out a way to suspend the lighting to be able to adjust the height easily rather than stacking boxes to adjust height as it probably won't work so well if the plant starts growing sideways if the setup remains the way it is now.
The question is if this setup will work for ONE plant (feminized autoflower strain) as I am a noob at the moment. I have enough room in the closet to make space for 50cm (length) x 100cm (width) x 150cm (height) for a plant thats supposed to grow 50-90cm so I think I have plenty of room to expand if I needed to. -------------> For the record, 50cm is like 19.7 inches.
I bought some random nutes from home depot which I don't think is any good cause of the strength of it as I didn't really read up on nutes at the time. Its 10-15-10 (If anything, would I be able to dilute the dosage to use this?).
Last night I decided to hook everything up to test out how much the room would heat up with these 3 lights plugged in using that little device you see on the left of the power bar. It went up to 26.5 degrees celcius and hovered around there as the humidity hovered around 40%-45%. I plan on buying a fan to circulate the air in the room and possibly open up the attic a bit (located on the roof of the closet) to vent if needed. For the test night, I just cracked the door open like 1 cm.
I also plan on adding reflective material but haven't decided what material to use. I heard that tin foil can burn leaves later on and also be quite annoying with rustling. Would I be able to use a white board and create surround the plant area with it?
Also, I plan on going on vacation for 4 days in 2 weeks. Should I only start after I come back as the plant would probably be left unattended. If so, how and where should I store the seed?
Anyways, what do you experts think?

I know what NPK means just not exactly which is important at different flowering stages (still reading on nutes).
