Also, what would be a good and efficient way to partition this space from the rest of my closet? As far as ventilation goes Im not quite sure, I was thinking about cutting a hole in top of the closet and install an inline duct fan but my only thing about this is that i am currently renting and just a little bit worried about messing stuff up basically. Any imput at all would be greatly apperiated and thanks in advance :thumbsup:
OK, first correction, that will equal abt 50watts per square foot. That is a good amount of light for your space. Not sure what you consider "good size plants" but yes 2 maybe 3 plants will fit that area.

To build a partition consider foil faced foam insultion boards abt 1" thick. It cuts easy can be taped to seal and has enough structural strength. As to cutting holes and stuff in a rental...you are on your own. Good luck.
