    Tinfoil isnt great, use mylar if anything. Depending on your circumstances you will face problems light proofing it, theres always some gets out in my experience so try and find a tent that will fit perfectly - even perhaps a propagation tent, you get these in various sizes, 30/60/90cm etc.
    Also consider ventilation. In and out in a cupboard can be difficult. IF you can extract into the attic with a powerful enough fan it might pull enough through all the cracks in the door frame etc.
    Finally seeds..... expect to pay £8-12 a seed. Don't buy cheap and if I were you id stick to a well known bank like herbies ( never had an issue ) or attitude etc. I cant really comment on strain but on most seedbanks you can pick short plants, auto, etc etc and select the type of high you want from them.

    Hope this has helped, its a bit difficult without seeing and take a piece of advice from an old bloke.... DONT try and make do. I have several times and ended up paying out a lot more money than if I had just done it right in the beginning

    I am UK however I am quite far north and although I grew 6 foot trees last year.... I got pretty much nothing off them.
    Can you not fit a larger tent indoors? Seriously I have tried lots in the past and its definately the way to go.

    For lights I had a dual spectrum cfls and basically half was red, half was blue. I think your setting yourself up for a fail tho in honesty, sorry

    Due to height I'd say your limited to tubes tbh. Cfl's at 125w are quite large and will eat into the space as much as a cool tube. By the time you factor in pot ( even a low profile flat one ) and light plus gap so you don't burn your going to need to do a he'll of a lot of lst ing for maybe an ounce. Sorry not having a go just don't think it's worth it.
