Sounds good man. I'm still constructing my first grow room but I've been reading a lot. I also plan to start the seeds in their 10 gal grow pots and I've read about good results doing so here on this site. However, I've read a lot of bad things concerning feminized seeds. Make sure your light cycle is CONSTANT otherwise the plants will trigger a defense mechanism where they turn into hermaphrodites. Remember--the bigger the pot, the bigger the plant. Try and find some posts concerning light distance--you don't want the light too far away otherwise the plant will stretch upwards (try the hand under the light method--if you can hold your hand at the plant's top leaf level without having to remove it, you're good)

How do you plan to keep the height of you plants down? You only have about 4 feet of tent height.

How strong of a fan are you using to exhaust the hot air out of your tent?

I my closet size is similar to yours and I would like to know how you tackled the heat problem.
