I was considering using a heat lamp to grow my garden in a closet but I don't know how much heat I would need.

I would advise you not to proceed with this setup as due to the extreme heat produced from a heat lamp, and the lack of adequate air circulation in a closet, you are creating a fire hazard.There are special lamps for indoor terrariums. These are called Grow Lights. As plants require UV (ultraviolet) light , these lamps attempt to provide a light spectrum similar to that of the sun, or appropriate for photosynthesis to occur.Heat Lamps are a special type of lightbulb that emit infrared heat radiation, heat not light. These are commonly used in chick hatcheries, in a bathrooms without central heating to warm up the room.Helpful Reply -
