The Setup. What do you think?

[godsbackyard]

Alright so, I've been thinking lately and I get so worried about my plants. I swear, its ridiculous and most of the time, its stuff that I shouldn't be worried about. Anyway, I am gonna say my setup and tell me what you think about it.

Vegetation Closet:

DWC Bubbler Grow
2 4.5 gallon containers
Aluminum Foil on All sides of walls
3 Inch Net Pots
Clay Pellets Medium
2 GE Chroma 5000 Florescents w/ up to 12 plants sitting under them at one time.
2 Pumps w/ airline and airstone providing oxygen to the plants going in both of them so 4 total.

Flowering Closet:

DWC Bubbler Grow Room
2 x 10 Gallon Bubbler
6 Holes in Each Bubbler
Something better than Aluminum foil on walls ( I forget )
3 Inch Net Pots
Clay Pellets Medium
4 Airlines/Airstone in each bubbler
1 400W MH Light
1 400W HPS Light ( We do not use at same time but we have some veging in the flowering closet right now.. We started 3 weeks ago so we'll use HPS in flowering normally )

Nutrient Wise we follow the GH chart for FloraGro, FloraMicro, and Florabloom Series.

Questions:
1. How close should the lights be in the floro closet be? ( The GE Chroma 5000's )
2. How close should the lights be in the flowering closet?

That's about it. I really would like to hear any suggestions anyone has for my setup for can give me any pointers. I would like to think I have read enough so think my setup is good but what do I know? Here are also some pictures of two of my further along plants running under the MH 400 light right now. What do you think?

A lot of questions, I know

Your setup sounds pretty good to me. It sounds like you will have a pretty good grow if you keep it going the way it is. The only thing I would change is take down the foil cause I read that walls painted plain white will reflect more light than aluminum foil will. Other than that it sounds good to me. The other questions I really dont know enough to answer with confidence so I will yield it to someone else.

Well, our walls really aren't that "white" per say. More Manilla color I guess.

That's a good setup. You should use that MH for part of the vegitative stage too.

At Modells, they sell emergency camping blankets. They are very similar to Mylar. They cost 2 bucks for a full blanket. I just put that in my room instead of foil. You can really tell the difference.

Can you find emergency camping blanket type things at any large outdoor store?? I have never thought of that before but it sounds like a good idea. Also does it absorb a lot of heat or do they stay relitively cool? Thanks for the good idea.
