Good Evening y'all,
I was hoping to get some advice/suggestions on a grow closet plan. The closet is roughly 60"Wx21"Dx86"H, giving me 8.75 sq. ft. If I keep the shelf that's inside it for storage/whatever and hang lights from the bottom of the shelf, I'll have roughly 62" of height to grow in. This would suit my needs as a flowering chamber quite well. I thought about making it two chambers but I think it would be more realistic and fun to build a small veg cabinet out of an old dresser I have.
Anyways, the problem I can't get around or decide a solution on is ventilation. I can't make major modifications to the walls or door. I was thinking about building a second door inside the door frame. I may not be able to close the original door all the way, but that's not going to be an issue so long as I can leave the original door hanging and untouched. Then what I can do is cut into that new door for vents. I could put passive intakes on the bottom of the door and vent from the top with a fan and carbon filter.
I've done the obligatory google searches and read some faq's and I think it is feasible. I'd just like to have some input on how to approach it from some fellow travelers. After all, that's why we're here right?
I've got two Master Kush plants in there right now in three gallon hempy buckets. They are vegging under a 2ft. T5 fixture, 4 bulbs @6400K 24W. They are 5 weeks old today. One is 7" long and and the other is 9". I can't decide if I want to do HPS or not. I guess it would depend if I could vent well enough.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by! I haven't started my grow journal yet but I plan on doing that this weekend and I will update if anyone would like to keep an eye on my grow
. Again, any tips, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If not for me, do it for Betty and Lorraine!
