Cooling options!

[spraakon]

so ive got a couple of plants vegging under some flouro's right now, and im going to be putting them under the 400w hps to flower in a couple weeks here.

my question is, what is a cheap way to cool a closet? im renting an apt so cutting holes for tubing etc is basically out of the question. i was planning on a couple smaller fans, and i was going to leave the ballast outside the closet.

help appreciated!

if you look in your local phone book you should be able to find either a
builders salvage yard or a discount builders supply where you should be
able to find a cheap door to fit your closet.

put the original door under the bed or in the basement and make your
cuts in the new door you bought, then, when you move, you just put
the original door back.

or you can jury rig something like this, which is nothing more than
cardboard nailed in place and held shut with velcro.

you'll note that my corrugated 'door' doesn't fit very well so it in no way
seals my veg room, but, it sealed it well enough to bring my temps down
from high 80's to low 70's so definitely good enough.

anyway, i hope this helps.

be careful growing in an apt. you never know when the landlord will come by to spray for bugs etc....

bozo knows whats up. cardboard is great! easy to cut and mold, plus if you get everything worked out, and have success, your cardboard door can be used as a template on a piece of paneling or whatever.
