:jointsmile:i got 24 seedling and i got them in a closet setup im short on light and im getting drafts in my closet i live in a mobile home so i kw thats why wats a good area i should have like deminsions like i said i go a big closet bt t leaks light its volnerable and i need secerity so when i leave i dont stress about my babies and some one was wantig to buy 12 seedling for 240 bucks should i do it i got 100 invested in all theseeds but there not feminized so i dont wanta fuck myself and be stuck with males

considered a grow tent?

It's up to you if you want to sell em, just make sure the guy knows they aren't sexed. The only time I've bought plants I paid $5 each for clones plus shipping so that's a good deal to me especially since they're only seedlings.

I recommend a tent or plywood box with the inside painted flat white as well, but with the added security and environmental control you have to worry more about heat and ventilation so it's a give and take thing.

thanks for the advice redtails i think that 5 bucks is a a lttle to cheap to sell em and thats a good idea to tell him that there not femz but he grows too so he should know the odds ......so if i buld a growbox its gonna be harder to maintain the 70 80 degree window ??? cause my closet stay about 68-70f but i dont like not having lock but i go the temp tig down so i think ill keep my coset setup heres some picks

You are gonna quickly run out of enough light once those babies start growing. If its possible, you should unload some of them on your buddy.

Yeah the $5 was from a med patient friend, he wasn't looking for money just trying to keep his grow a bit cheaper.

The walls around it will keep the temps up definitely, but it also has the added benefit of reflecting the light on the sides and lower parts of the plants. Home depot has duct fans for like $30 in the ventilation section or Radio Shack has 110v fans for about the same. Either would be a good way to vent the hot air trapped inside if you do box it in. One thing you can do is set up a half wall that goes up, up to the lights so that the light is still reflected but the top is still open so temps shouldn't be more than a few degrees higher.

I suggest you lower the lights a bit, looks like the seedlings are stretching. I keep my fluoros 1-3" away from the tops and that keeps them very compact.

your dealing with a good amont of stretching already, lower your lights, and get more. I would suggest selling the plants, 24 midsize plants is a lot of space aand even more light. you'll need at least a few of those bulbs per plant.

well i sold 16 of them and moved thm n a 2x2x4 ft box with 6 lights now insteed of 3 ie b4 ill post some pics tommarrow you think 7500lumens is enough for the plants and you know shop lights the one on a stand could you use em to grow with??
