Got 6 beans that just germinated, setup will be in a bubbleponics 18 gallon reservoir under one 400hps in a 10 foot wide by 3 foot deep by 8 feet high closet. My questions is, my closet has a few cracks where light can enter(sliding doors and bottom of frame). I have Mylar all on the inside, can I still use this space even though a tiny bit of light will leak in????:rastasmoke:
if you have light leaks you will most likely end up with balls ...... sorry :(
TinyToon, even thought my seeds are feminized?
from experience .........
built my own grow tent out of 2x4's and poly plastic, (white on 1 side black on other), for an opening I bought a zipper from the hydro shop that you stuck to the plastic and unzipped cutting the exposed plastic with a razor to create your opening. the ONLY light leak there was, and didnt know it till it was to late, was the zipper itself. Light leaked through the teeth of the zipper since I never thought of putting a layer of anything over it since tent was in a room where there is no people traffic. The only thing in there was it and my Cab. The only light was a regular ceiling light that was only on when I went into the room to check on whoever was having "daytime" and I ended up with Hermie bud. The only thing growing in there were 4 5th generation clones that I myself obtained from an orignal feminized seed.
So I once again hang my head with sorrow and say if you have light leaks you will MOST likely end up with balls instead of serious buddage. Notice I said most and not 100% you might get lucky but I'm betting balls :cursing:
GF brought up the idea of maybe hanging a blanket or something over that sliding doorway to seal the light, maybe will work for ya??
