ok thats enough for now ,
first things first , will the other person get suspicious when you start drilling /working? if so think about the best time to work . and is there anything in the basement that makes noise like a fridge /freezer?
you can go with any wardrobe thats more than 36" lol... is that the actual height or the inside grow height? trust me you will need more than that if its actual height .. an ak is taller than normal plants and it really honks (smells) , your mate will know its ganja if you grow ak !
these are better suited to you ,the top is mixed with ak:

http://www.drchronic.com/products.asp?recnumber=1308 the best
thing is there are 2 kinds of growers ..people who grow to smoke or people to grow to sell (now i would never sell coz its illegal) lmao.....dont worrie im not gona ask but if you want yeild coz your gona sell it go with a bigger yeilding strain like big bud ...but the strength is less . or if you want to smoke it go with a smaller yeilding but higher strength like northern lights ...
if your only growing 2 plants i suggest you go with a instead of soil go straight to a hydroponic system ! alot of beginners go with soil first because its easy .... this isnt actually that true.. if you have a ph meter when you grow with hydro and use the directions on the hydroponic fertalizer nothing much can go wrong .. and the yeild is massive compared .. for you i would go down the DWC route ... if your set on soil go for it but make sure you get really good fluffy soil .... not the miracle grow stuff ! ... you want fluffy multipurpose compost and mix it with 10% of perlite (garden centre / amazon) looks like broken up polystyrene balls ( but hard like porous stones )
now the lights ...hmmm cfls ,im not a big fan of these as i have tryed myself. now im telling you now ... you will not yeild 2 ozz per plant with 150 watts of cfls ! but you will be able to veg with them fine ... in the blue version so "whitelight" not day light .... then you should buy /steal/borrow a 150watt HPS grow light/flood light and you will yeild with this !you can pick them up pritty cheap on amazon.com and its not a dodgy place so people wont know
whatever ligh you have you will need a grow fan and carbon filter ,you need good air flow and no smell : )
here are some a couple of links from my closet grow and a ongoing set up of someone else's grow which i am helping on going : http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/thd11x17401.shtml my old set up: http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/thd11x17195.shtml and the results..
http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/thd9x43360.shtml http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/thd9x43413.shtml http://boards.marihemp.com/boards/thd9x43421.shtml
this is my new area but im showing you this coz theres a good thing with the grow fan .... http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=64615
and this is in micro systems on the same site this whats a 150watt light will do http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=70188&page=1&pp=15
and this is what 225watts of cfls do ...or should i say dont lol (you got less than this ) http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=71585&page=1&pp=15
hope this helps for now , any questions just ask laterz
