Newbie closet pot grow HEEEELP!!

I'm ready to begin my first closet pot grow. there are just too many guides out there with too many options and variations to choose from. does anyone know of a guide that says "DO EXACTLY THIS!!", rather than "some people decide..., or, another possibility is...". I realize I currently lack creativity, but for my first grow, I want a step-by-step guide, maybe with some pictures, that is fool proof and relatively inexpensive. I would be willing to buy/build essential tools or equipment that would have an effect on potency and volume of harvest, but I have no desire to make extra work for myself. I will be the only one consuming these goods. any suggestions for mega-potent but easy to grow strains would be greatly appreciated too. thanks for any help or guidance you can provide. much love- matt

welp, For your first grow, Id suggest a scrog grow. google it, theres plenty of facts with pics about it. and for the strain, its up to you. theres alot of sites out there with various strains, it just takes some research.
-------------------- one branch of man turns away what has made us who we are, the other,excepts it for how its made man. which path do you choose? ------------------------------------- Man takes advantage of who he is,nature is his home, where he evolved from. So why does he turn it down, defy, and mutalate his birth ground? why does he spread disease, murder his native animals,rape and torture his land, and still feel descent of who he is? live a life that is not true? excepts an artificial home?

I think you should use a 400w HPS (son-t-argo is better if u can get it) with an atami 8 plant hydro system. The system costs ?95 and the light ?100. Use mylar on the walls. Pump in air at the bottom of the room, suck it out at the top. Use timers on the fans until you acheive a 'day temperature of 24-30oC and 'night' temperature of 12-18oC. Use a carbon filter on the top fan if smell is an issue. Use high N food for vegative stage and high P food for flowering. Use an oscilating fan constantly inside. Use 18 hours light period and 4 dark for vegative stage, and when the plants reach about 12" change the light cycle to 12 hours. DON'T disturb them during dark cycle. Remove bottom 1-3 pairs of branches when they have at least 4-5 sets of branches. Flower them till 80% of the hairs have turned from white to orange. Harvest, trim off leaves. Hang upside down in cool, dark, dry place until the stems are dry enough to snap. Then put weed in glass jars and seal. Open once a day and stir the buds about, then close jars again. Do this for 1-2 weeks till there is no 'grassy' smell anymore.
That's about it mate. Just ask if you need to know anyting else.

Good luck!

We offer those 2 hours as a sacrafice to Sibannac, the goddess of Marijuana, in hopes that she grants us a great and potent harvest.

LOL... You know what i mean. 18 and 6. You can use 24hr lighting for veg stage if you like. I do for cuttings. But I use flourecents for my cuttings. There is so much more stuff you can do, but if you do the things I suggested you really can't go wrong. BTW. You must remove males asap. Which will probably be 1-2 weeks into flower. Heres some nice pictures on how to tell the difference:
FEMALE

MALE
