Cooling in an apartment closet

[stinkyattic]

Measure your closet door(s) and go buy a set of replacement ones, used is fine, that you can drill holes in. For each chamber, you need to exhaust the heat from your lights. If you aren't running air cooled, you should be. You also need a fresh air intake. It should be low and unobstructed..

you can getch'yer paws on a spare door for the closet and make ventilation holes in that. Then when need be, you can slap the old one back on them hiiiiinges.
Other than that... you're going to need to pay someone to wave a fan on them all day. That's the only other option IMO :stoned:

Aha! And we have... agreement!

Seriously man, there is NO WAY to avoid making air exchange holes in either a used door or a plastic one made of Panda film from the grow shop. You NEED and exhaust that can handle air flow THROUGH a carbon scrubber. Put your Ionic Breeze out in the lung room to catch stragglers.
If you don't do a real exhaust, you're just fucking around- No source of carbon means no bud mass and high heat means no bud density... and an object with neither mass nor density is just... nonexistent.

And switch to flower right away if you haven't; you're going to run out of space in there during stretch.

Pink flourescents that LOOK pink aren't as efficient actually as the full- spectrum ones that look bright, warm, white ('Daylight'). They belong in both sides of your grow, but 'cool white' tubes are fine for vegging and I've vegged under them happily for years. Keep them 2" from the canopy. When you control your heat and install a proper exhaust, you will be able to run more lights, and more lights + more fresh air= enough buds to justify the trouble of the exhaust system tenfold.

Just sayin'. ; )

Cooling in an apartment closet Ok, I know that growing in an apartment is risky as hell, but let's face it, what choice do I have (aside from gurrilla, and when its 110 here in the summer, thats far from ideal). In any event, I have a grow room, in my closet that measures approx 51" in width by 2.5' deep. It is seperated into two sides (flowering, veg) both with 2 24" el cheapo floro lights. (one side has better bulbs (the ones that are pinkish...which brings up the question of which side should those be on)). On the Rating: 5
