Much better- Now ya just need a light from the same site. I'd suggest a HPS for tighter growth and less stretching. Plus you can use the same light through vegetative stage and also during flowering. Or for a few more $$ you can get a switchable kit that can do MH for veg and HPS for flower on the same site. HTG Supply used to mail a free lighting timer with orders, but I think they stopped. I got one a month ago.
600w and 1000w HPS
Depending on the Medium or Large tent - i'd get a 600w or possibly a 1000w respectively. The 1kw will be hot tho. Both should allow you to grow 6-12 plants without too much crowding.
Put some good ventilation to combat the lamp heat ( I'd go with an air cooled hood btw) and you're just about set with a top notch grow cab for a 1/4 of that supercloset.
Then you'll need to go to lowes for a few small things
Depending on the lamp air cooled flange size, you could buy Dryer flex hose ( like $10-15 for 6') this comes in 4" tho...
Small roll of "duct" tape, not the Duck tape. May not even need this tho.
An inline fan of similiar diameter - 250cfm is good( or you can buy duct reducers, but I would not drop below 2 inches of the hood flang. So if it's a 6" flange, buy a 6>4" reducer. The fan hooks up to your light and blows cold air over your bulb and out an exhaust vent outside of your cabinet.
A grounded ext. cord or two if needed
A a smallish/medium fan to put in the box to stir the air inside
Bought wraps it up, besides soil, fert, pots, etc. But that's way cheap.
Read a few grow journals, or the Grow room set up section. My 1st grow is pretty DIY and low cost.
Hope this helps
