I'm a pretty decent outside grower but decided to try my hand at closet growing. This is my current setup. Please leave any comments on what you foresee happening and any tips.
I currently have 2 plants at the early stage of veg cycle.
I'm using 2 GE Cfl bulbs that ate 6500k. 1 Each hanging over each plant about 2-4 inches from top of plants. Also have a cord running up the middle of the plant containers with 2 2700k bulbs pointing at each plant from the side. Lights run 24/0 till I see noticeable height/weight growth.
I'm using MG Potting soil, and my water is 1 part peroxide To 5 parts tap water that's left out in open air for 24-48 hours Peter to any waterings.
I'm using one of those small box fans from Wally world. You know the small. One that has built in heater. But I just use the fan function only.
Now I'm growing on the top shelf of my closet. At first thought it may get to hott up there since heat rises. But I checked after lights ran for the first Fay and didn't feel much heat. The closet area dimensions (didn't measure whole closet just shelving area) is basically. 2 ft 7inches (from shelf bottom to ceiling) by 5 ft 4 inches. (From 1 side to other) wit walls pre painted white.
I'm guessing its at about 18,400 lumens at this point. Tested siloil + water Ph and its between 6.5-7.0 . As of now I'm not using any feet cause this potting. Spil bag says it feeds plants for up to 6 mths.
Tell me what you foreseen happening on this first closet setup. Thanks for all the knowledge I have gained in one form or another through the use of this great site
