"My goal is that I want a safe build that produces enough grow that sustains a small amount of smoking for life. Does that statement sound to bold to you? It should but that is my goal. "
me and my ole lady smoke but not like we used to. im smoking more right now because I quit smoking ciggs and it kinda helps with the hands to mouth part of the quitting process.
anyways, i have a small 32x32 tent with a 600w HID that can produce enough bud for me and her for the year and only have to run it for 3-4 months a year. It is sitting downstairs collecting dust untill i need to fire it back up, grow a plant and then tear it down again....rinse and repeat...so no your statement is not bold at all and depending on how much you smoke could be much easier than you think.
when i first started growing i was giving the shit away by the handfull to "friends" usually had them "work" it off by helping me out with a project around the house.....soon realized that you need a badass grow to support you and your head "friends" ditched the friends and told em i dont grow anymore......didnt take long for them to stop being regulars...now i just grow for me and my woman.
everyone says "grow big or go home" and that is a terrible motto and how people get busted., (if your not legal) also how people sink a shitload of cash into a project that lasts 8 months then you see all that expensive equip on craigslist.
look into tents, you said a 5x5 space?

^^ tent
heres a tent that would fit in your closet and give you room to stash all your supplies and run your ducting...this tent would grow 6 smaller plants or 3 really good sized plants (i would grow 3 in that tent)
looks like your covered on filter.
lighting i would suggest HID, for the prices of modern ballasts they are tried and true and reasonable on the wallet. i have had my apollo 600w for 4 years now and still running strong.

^^ light
looking at around 300 bucks for the tent and light but worthwhile investments for sure....i love my tent and would like to get another one shortly. (mine is about 4 years old and has a few grows through it)
as far as seeds go i have ordered from attitude 2 times and had good results...im no plant geneticist so i cant say wether the genetics are what they claim to be but the bud was dam good. my advice there would be wait for a promotion before you order you can spend 130 bucks and walk out with a nice sack of seeds...its about 30 bucks in shipping.the B day promo, X mas and new years are usually good along with the 4/20 promo..if its months down the road then you have time to wait out a good promo, if you shop the promo + UFO + breeder promo you really can make out well...i think i got almost 40 seeds one order and only paid for 10 of them. sometimes they aren't the best and sometimes they can surprise you.....some folks may be able to tell you about the fruity chronic from the lucky 7's promo a few years back...free bean and some killer smoke, most everyone loved it.
anyways rambling right on here haha thats what happens when i get on here after smoking a
good ill be watching and like i said keep it simple man, first grow should be easy and something to grow on. your never going to get it all in the first try so just take it slow, learn as you go and have fun
i take a very different approach to growing than alot of others on here..i dont get into all the hype and im a fairly lazy grower...i like to set it and forget it, i do enjoy training my plants i dont enjoy testing for everything under the sun and mixing 25 dfferent things in a gal of water every 2.7 days and spending a entire day building a contraption that will keep even the most miniscle light ray from hitting the back corner of my grow tent .....yeah fuck all that...im a.throw some tin foil in there water with the lights on kinda guy lol
ok still rambling...gonna go smoke agin...bye haha
