Closet Growing

Alright so I'm trying the whole closet grow operation and i will admit im a complete noob at it. My ex brought back a lot of seeds from Germany when he was staying there so i started off by germinating 2 seeds... putting them in a wet paper towel and into a baggie. Ive got a day or 2 until they are suppose to 'sprout' or what not. Then exactly what do I do. Ive read a lot but still need advice. Im going to clean out my entire closet, it isnt too big not sure of the size but im sure it'll do nicely. Ive seen where people have put alumnium all around in the closet and what not, should i do this? As far as the lights and etc that i have they are: I have a 2 lamp, 2' strip light, A 24"daylight F20, plant & aquarium F20, and a Sunshine F20.

I just need to know a good way to set up my closet.. and the air intake thing is killing me.. i have no clue on what to do with that... so any suggestions?

Well when your sprout has shown its time to put her in dirt. Make sure the tap root is facing down towards the dirt.
Do not line the inside of your closet with alumin foil cause not only is it not that reflective it creates hot spots in your room. Short on cash try checking out the camping section and get yourself some emergency blankets. or the dollar store has that shiny gift wrapping paper thats your best bet
As far as the lighting for seedling you dont need alot of light but I guess just add on one every week from the seedling stage.
As intake and exhaust if you cant make holes then your only bet is to leave teh door cracked with a fan right there either pushing the air in or out.

hope that helps you out a lil bit

I'm no expert but from what I know, aluminum reflects more heat than light so you are better off painting the inside of your closet white or coating it in something shiny but not foil. You wanna have it vented out well too, but it will smell too so Carbon filter is probably wise too (so i hear).

instead of painting and all of that im going to use mylar. u think that would be good enough? also i mean its an old house, actually has a small crawl space at the top of the closet. but ive read that u need to clean it all well and blah blah.. so i was just going to cover that with mylar as well.. um but the air intake still bothers me.. a fan? i mean isnt there something better.
