Attached is a 2D picture of what it looks like when you open the door:
As far as the length goes (which you cannot see in the picture): The closet is over 12 feet long. It is a deep closet, and I don't plan on using all 12 feet, at least at first since this is my first grow. I'll probably block off 4-6 feet for the length (lets say 5'), so we're dealing with a 5' x 4' x 3-6.5' (varying height, see pic) area.
Should I...?:
a). Seal the grow area with some sort of hut/tent/box and give it it's own intake/outtake directly.
OR
b). Only surround just the grow area with some mylar-sided cardboard/sheets/plywood so the light doesn't get wasted in the 8 feet of unused closet. I.E., the grow area is not airtight from the rest of the closet, only light-tight.
Another thing I'd like some incite on is the slanted roof. It makes things tricky because I cannot just throw a pre-made tent in there (it won't fit). And I'd imagine the slanted roof might make things tricky with the lighting as well? I was thinking of a 400W HPS for 2-4 plants.
Basically, if you had this large closet with this crazy slanted roof, what would you do with it?
