    I'm assuming that you turn it off at 8pm. 14 hour light cycle should be fine.

    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off

    the lighting setup sounds fine,you only need a little light. i would strongly suggest the use of a good thermostat with the heater, a small closet can quickly overheat in the summertime.

    well the space heater came with its own thermostat. is that one good enough?? the room temp even when its 70 outside doesn't get above 85
