First grow ever. HELP.

Okay so I have a Girl Scout Cookies Auto Flower seed. I have never grown a plant in my life but I have a open closet it’s not huge, but I figured a auto flower will fit perfect. Anyways I’m doing this on a budget. I have no clue how to grow it ive done research and find myself confused lol. But would the closet have to be closed it. If so what shout I cover it with? What kind of light should I use? Do I have to have a fan on it at all? Please Help!
Thanks!!!

Get some decent soil. Plant seed. Give it water. You won't need to worry about nutrients for a month. Keep it simple and get something like a bottle of General Hydroponics FloraNova Bloom or their dry MaxiBloom to use when it starts flowering and call it a day. You don't need to go crazy with a bunch of bottles. The simpler you keep it the better chance for success when you're on your first grow.

As for lighting you will find many opinions but since you're in a closet heat is going to be an issue so you'll probably want to go with an LED. I can't help you with choosing one but don't rush out and buy a cheap one off Amazon that claims to replace a 1000 watt HID.

Go ask in the LED section where the experts hang out.

Good luck.

My first grow was in a cupboard/closet too, gotta start somewhere man i had bare minimum stuff

If you really want it easy then look up something like this


It will take care of your plant for its life. Just add water.

This is just the cutest little light and I need to see a closet grow done with it.
