How do I block light from getting into my Grow Closet?

I'm thinking of turning my whole walk-in closet into my Grow Room.
In the past, I used a 2x4 tent placed in the closet which worked-out fine.
But now I'm thinking of turning my whole Closet into my Flowering Room.
It already has a hole in the ceiling going to the attic to attach ventilation.
Since I'm going to use this closet for flowering, it's important that I keep outside light from getting into
my closet when my babies are sleeping! So how do I block light from getting in?

It's a closet, how much light gets in?

Just around the door ?

Use a foam door sealer...
Stand on the inside, and turn off light...
How bright is it?

I agree, a hanging drape in the front would look aesthetically pleasing as well, oh and bubbles is awsome :):):)

At Ace hardware you will be able to find a ruber seal set these look similiar to a refrigerator door seal, They are puffy rubber, UN-like the typical foam strip stuff,(sold in rolls). Also you will find a door sweep these can be cut to length and slipped onto the bottom of the door, then fastened with small screws. This too is a rubber seal type sweep. It is desighned to keep air from traveling under the door. used in walk in refrigerators ect. My ace has this stuff, as well as black lined ducting, This is do to the amount of med growers in Or. k? A reg rubber sweep shaped like a window squeedgee should work fine. (squeedgee?) is that how ya spell that? anyway Im sure you get the plan. hey happy growin to ya have a great day!!!!:idea:

To those who seem to think that a little amount of light getting in around the door is no big deal...
NO amount of light getting in is acceptable when your plants are in flower, unless you wanna get hermied plants.
