this is kinda what im thinking the closet is 7 ft high, 7ft 8in wide and about 2 ft 6in deep. haha this is a picture i made kinda to show what i was thinking of doing, warning look at this picture high you need you imagination. the white is the lights as you know....i was just thinking to move the shelf down. if anyone eles has an idea for this space let me know thanks. also tell me what you think of my idea i guess:dance:
I don't know if you should even put a middle shelf in there.. can you measure that entire area?
What are you doing as far as lighting goes? HPS could lead to heating problems in a smaller area like that.
I assume you're thinking flouros?
its a large closet, i have a 70W HPS, but im looking into getting a MH light also. i have will have fans and also AC in it. grim would you mind talking to me on aim? ( i cant show in it a picture but the closet actually goes behind the wall on each side about 2+ feet.
Not at all, e-mail me your aim name at g.r.i.m.e.s.t.r.e.e.f.e.r.a.t.h.o.t.m.a.i.l.d.o.t. c.o.m
I'm taking off right now to run down to the "grocery store" and pick up some "thyme" so I can come home and "cook" but I'll be back in a few hours.
alright email sent, any other feedback people?
Well Im growing a Lowryder in my closet with a 600w HPS, and Ive had to take a shelf out to move the light up because of heat probs. It was at 2ft, but now its at 3ft, and the heat is fine as long as my window is open.
You also need to take into account that the plants will grow upwards (obviously), so theres nowhere near enough room there, unless you grow lowryders - and even then you might be hard pressed for space.
how high do they grow?
well would you suggest i lower the self to mount the lights on, then just grow all 8 on the ground, and as they grow move the self up?
Herb can grow from anything to a couple of feet tall, up to 6 foot. It just depends on the strain, when you look at the seeds on the net (www.everyonedoesit.com is a good place to buy - cheap - and they also do bloody loads of seeds) they will tell you the percentage of THC, how high they grow, how easy/hard it is etc. Lowryders only grow to a maximum of 2 foot, and thats in rare circumstances. Ive got a diary in this section, havent updated in a week or so but shes not much taller than the last set of pics show her. With 8 lows, you can expect a harvest of around 2-3 ounces easy.
And that sounds like a class idea (moving the lights as they grow). See if you can get a light on the side of them while theyre budding aswell, the buds will form more compact and give a slightly bigger yield.
alright i will check that out thanks for the reply
if you supercrop the stems or suppliment auxin rich products such as thrive alive red(not all organic but has more auxins then green for more compact growth) your plants can finsh at a foot high have a single cola for easy trimming and get 8 grams per nug bone dry weight. I use thrive alive green which is all organic but you dont need any auxins to supercrop them short. Try trimming a fan leaf or two when they are tiny tiny tiny baby leaves on the top and supercrop.

amazing.
yo i like the idea, and i support it, i was thinkin something similar to the sam thing.. i'd use the bottom space for flowering and the top for veg.. what u should be concerned with is (1)smell and ventilation (2) escaping light.. you should get a black plastic tarp to cover them, like little "doors" that u can roll up.. this way u wont interfere with the growth process, its critical that the plant recieves no light during flower in the darkness period
I make doors out of foam insulation.

that brings me to my next point.. whats the best way to mask/kill the smells yeah i figured i would cover the doors but was just not sure with what black tarp would do it? please reply thx
You can make your own carbon scrubber for less than $50 (according to, I think, Zandor). Just make a post with his name in it and he'll come running to help.
