I'm a beginning grower too, I'm working with some feminized White Widow right now, but I can let you know what's working for me so far. I do an 18/6 light cycle, just because it makes sense to save a little electricity, plus plants evolved with a period of darkness everyday, so in my mind it makes sense to keep it that way. Since your closet is 36x30, you really want to keep your number of plants low. Maybe only grow a couple of each to make sure you have females, then work with 1 female of each strain. It's better to give a small number of plants lots of light and optimal growing conditions over several smaller plants. As far as your autos, just let those grow naturally. Topping/training autos can mess up their growth cycle, just because from the moment they pop out of the seed they're on a timer until they start flowering. But as far as the blueberry, I think you should look into mainlining your plants, since you have 9 feet of clearance in your closet. Here's a link to a nice tutorial Nebula's Manifold Tutorial - More Efficient Main-Lining! | Grow Weed Easy. As far as nutrients, the Fox Farms trio of liquid nutrients works great. It's about $25 on Amazon. Make sure you get the soil variety though, and not the hydroponic one. Also worth the investment is a pH buffer kit. General Hydroponics has a nice one, about $15 that includes an acid, base, and test kit. Hope this helps a little bit

 

Research, experiment, record your results, don't repeat mistakes, capitalize on successes.

Grow on buddy!

 

It's fine as far as nutrients go, I'm really only familiar with the Fox Farms, but a lot nutrients will work, you just need to investigate how strong they are to see if they're good for cannabis. Your armoire should make a good grow box! You could easily fit a good ScrOG system in there, or 1 or 2 mainlined plants as long as it's tall enough. My grow is going pretty well, thanks for asking. My pheno of White Widow is one that starts out small and slow. I'm assuming it's going to take off once it goes into flower. But I'm on day 44 of veg, I'm putting her into flower on 5/31. She's close to 6 inches tall now, with about 8 inches of bredth. You can check out my grow journal to see pics of her development. First Grow - White Widow I'll try and help as much as I can

 

I grow out of a small pc case. I got for about £20, a CFL light, a few PC fans some duct tape and some activated carbon foam sheets, all in all the whole setup maybe cost £50. The case that I got is small but my yields are fairly big (for personal use) through low stress training and maximizing my space.

The matter of "is my grow station big enough is a non issue". what is your issue is being discovered, do you live alone, with a partner of with you parents. Myself, I live alone so I don't need to take so many security precautions. But, if you lived with your parents, for example, and didn't wish your grow to be found you'd have to think about safety such as;
are odors going to give me away?
is my grow station inconspicuous enough?
can I hide cables in a way that they are not leading to my grow station?

but, when it comes to the simple question of just growing, plant the seed in some soil, add water and wait a few months. it can be as simple as that, or it can be more complicated if you want it to be. Though for a first time grow, I'd just advise just plant and wait.

 

I would hold off on trying to mainline until you have a few harvest under your belt. It's a big variable to throw in if you don't have an idea of a full cycle on your plants. Better off just topping a few times and trimming lower branches.
