Can you get enough intake air? Are you going to use the attic air for intake, and if so is it going to be a winter thing? I don't think you would get cool enough air from the attic in the summer, but that depends on where you live. I wondered about that light size when you said it had 9" ducts on it....LOL...The problem is gonna be to get the temps, even with fans, down to reasonable growing temps, that small a closet may be like a little wind tunnel, but then weak stalks and stems won't be a problem, will they? One things for sure, the babies won't lack for light! There's one sure way to see if it can be done, and that's to do it....or as Yoda said..."No try, only do!"

crap, did I really just quote Starwars? I must be blazed..... :stoned:
Unfortunately I cant put holes in the ceiling of my closet because my loft or bed is right above my closet. i can put holes at the top on the sides of the closet. I will have to do some sort of light trap... or maybe those ac vents that are slanted...

I live in cali so summer attic air will be crap...
But for now I might be ok..
I'll have to get a thermometer thats for sure... should the therm be placed towards the bottom of the closet? maybe the middle?
My buddy will be giving me a 150?cfm fan Not sure on 150 but by the size of it i think it should be big... He said it was one that looks like a big turbine..
So its safe to say I will need at least one more fan of this caliber. then maybe a few small wall fans to blow air up towards my exit holes and at the plants them selves maybe?

Thank you so much for your help. I really do appreciate it. I really need t finish my closet tomorrow... my seeds are pretty much ready..
Any ideas on lighting for the seedlings..
If I had to i can buy somthing cheap just to get some roots goingbefore they jump into the 1000w..
Or maybe put some type of cover so they are only receiving so much light from my 1k...
Oh btw they are 8" ducts... I really should hav taken one more look at the light before making this thread... well I cant complain since my buddy gave it and a 3.5 intellidrive motor for my light rail.
