is that a heater? Im going to try and grow in my garage but it gets really cold at night. What kind of light are you using?

[kyolic]

Is what a heater? The tall skinny thing? thats my fan. And the big white thing over my plants contains my 600watt light and then the thing in the plate is a small 150 watt desk light that i am keeping on my plants for a few days. And yeah it gets hella cold in my closet too since its winter now but i dont want to put in a portable heater cuz i allready have too much shit going to outlets.

Kyolic - your set up looks nice but I can see two, possibly three things that might cause you problems.

You have neither intake nor exhaust. Sooner or later you will be running your lights with the door closed over much bigger plants and you'll need a constant source of fresh air in the closet.

Secondly, those doors aren't light tight. This is particularly important during flowering, as light leaks will surely produce hermes and much lower yields. You can overcome this right now by just keeping your light on 24/7. But you need to deal with the light leak issue real quickly if you want a good grow. Probably the easiest solution is to get a couple of big pieces of the black and white poly, hang them from the ceiling with a goodly overlap in the middle and less so on the floor. This will keep out the light and open in the middle like the flaps of a tent, so it will be easy to access your grow-op.

Finally, if smell is an issue you need to get/make a carbon/kitty litter filter. They're easy and cheap to make, BTW. There's a DIY in the faq section of Basic Growing.

Other than that, clean looking set-up. :thumbsup:

Hey thanks for the help so far. I read about the intake and exhaust on the basic growing faq shit. But it didnt really explain it very well. Do i just need a regular fan on the top of my closet and the one i allready have on the bottom of my closet? That shit is confusing. Also were can i buy some of that black and white poly shit?

Well, to start with you have two systems; The circulating system, which is the fan that blows around in your closet and the Intake/exhaust system.

Take a look at this cab I built and you can get a good of how a intake/exhaust system should work.

For the poly stuff, Check in a hydro store or google "panda poly plastic" to find it online.

wow you got all savage with that stuff lol. What would be a really easy way for me to do it in my closet though? without getting all that tubing and shit. Since my closet is in the shape of an L and has 4 sliding doors cant i just open up one of the doors and put a fan in it but have the front facing into my bedroom. Im in an apartment so i dont want to go cutting any holes in the doors or anything.
