Ever notice there is a severe lack of information on the internet regarding closet growing? Post a link of a place if a place exsists on closet growing please. I'd be in for some pointers.

Hello,
Zero - Give the dimensions of your closet, list of supplies you have, a financial budget, and the degree of stealth that is needed.
I will try to help out if I can, in the mean time I will check out other boards to see if I can perhaps find a forum that can shed some light on the forum.
Take care
Peace

Thanks student. I know what I'm doing but I always like to see how other people run their operations for ideas you know. Two heads are better than one. My biggest enemy is going to be heat and plant space. The closet dimensions are 8 feet high 3 feet wide and 1 1/2 feet deep. That's why I suggested to ron a closet growers section. I bought a 180CFM squirel exhaust blower but you see theres no where to vent the heat to other than through the door. So I'm going to have to cut a 4"x4" hole into the top section of the door and I'm going to cut a 8"x16" square hole at the bottom for intake. That's the best solution I can come up with. I have excellent supplies as well. They include
400 Watt HPS system with remote ballast and eye hortilix bulb
Lots of mylar
2 wall mounted fans
Outdoor light timer
Digital humidity gauage
2 digital thermometers
surge protectors
nursery pots
180cfm Active Air Squirrel exhaust
and more shit I'm probaly forgetting.
I've been growing for a long time just never in a closet. lol I have white rhino seeds and I want to grow them as large as feasible but thats where space becomes an issue. I can only fit 3 3gall or 5gall nursery pots into that room or 10 1gal pots which I was considering but I'm looking for high yeild at the same time.
If you got suggestions start pitching them at me.
Thanks

Zero...
let me save you some time...
the 1 and one half feet.....
That is not enuff...
I use one of the tool / shit closets from the Home Depot...
the nice ones...
with the metal fronts....
They have the exact same dimensions.
I started with 12...figuring I would kill most if not all....
I ended up with four....
By day 30....two had to go outside....
And to this day, I figure my yeild will be 1/3 of what it could have been because if the limited grow space.
So now I got CUNT and WHORE filling up my 3 x 1.5 x 8 cabinet and I will tell you again...it is not enuff room...even one plant would suffer...the 18" deep part is the killer....
Let me show you as they stand right now...
No room to tie or bend...
CUNT's Main Kola is about 7 inches from the HPS bulb....which has no housing...the HPS bulb is 8 inches from the top...
The MH hangs vertically and is only 4 inches from the top.
I have no more top room. Thats it...nada...my exhaust takes the rest too.
The fans???
Whole nuther set of struggles.
No room to mount them anywhere....gotta hang them and kinda stuff em in there.
And these are only 8 quart pots as well.....had I gone 5 gallon buckets, Cunt would have no main kola by now...
Oh and i threw in a pic of a bud from WHORE...
You can still grow good herb....just dont plan on more than one or two at the VERY most.
Side lighting is almost out of the question entirely.
Room is almost perfect for one plant...almost.
