Hi everybody,
This is the first time I've ever grown anything before and I'm really excited to do it! I'll try to offer concise information regarding my grow closet.
Closet space:
2ft 3in Wide, 6.5ft Long, 4.5ft High (The closet is taller but it's 54 inches from floor to my grow light)
Lights:
1000 watt HPS w/ ballast and hood [Thanks to my friend for hooking it up!]
4-bulb T-5's with full spectrum and high output
(Planning to pick up a light rail)
Ventilation:
1) The closet is vented into my room since there's no way for me to bring it to the outside so I do plan on purchasing a carbon scrubber but do you think that it would be sufficient? I also have an A/C on to keep the room temperature at about 71F.
2) I've got intake pulling through the louvers of my closet door and exhaust (which is hooked up to a blower) going out through the top of my louvers.
Humidity/Thermometer:
Still need to get this
Stealthiness (??):
I have a comforter that I cut up and made into a door. It has zip ties up top and acts like a shower curtain. I would like to put Mylar or panda sheeting up soon.
My grow plan is to put down about 6-10 of these throughout the closet when flowering. Which pot size should I use for my last transplant?
Another question I have is about this idea I have since I'm limited on where I can place my T-5's. If I were to build some sort of table for my flowering plants on top while installing the T-5's underneath the bottom of the table so that I can place seedling under that light without being damaged. Here's a spatial representation:
(Top to Bottom)
1000w HPS (54inches from floor)
Flowering plants on tabletop
Table
T-5 hooked up to bottom of table
Vegging plants on ground
Is this going to be a viable option or am I better off trying to find another spot to place the light? Thank you so much for your help and opinions!
P.S. I've made it so that my amps do not exceed my circuit but I am concerned about the extension cord I have running to my HPS system. It's a 25ft cord and 14gauge, the 25ft is way too long I'm sure and putting up too much resistance so I will get a shorter cord! But do you think that running this system on an extension cord permanently will be a problem? I have no other way to plug it in :(
Thanks,
Noob ;)
