Ok, so I finnally finished my grow closet! It's based on 2 rooms, Veg and flower.
In the veg room, i have 3 intake fans(computer fans) and an exhaust fan. The room is made inside of a giant container and the inside is lined with reflective insulator to keep a more constant temperature and to give the plants more light. There is a 40 watt clf bulb attached to the roof of the box for early life of the plants(one week). There is also a 1000 watt Metal Halide that i just picked up and is just above the veg box. When the plants are a week ond, or have their first set of fan leaves i will take off the cover and set the Metal Halide on to 18/6 light cycle.
The Flower room is also lined with reflective insulator and the light source is a 400 watt High Pressure Sodium bulb. The light cycle is set to 12/12 always. since i live in a colder climate area, i set the light cycle to start at 7:00 P.M. and go until 7:00 A.M. There is a fan that is always on in the room, and there is a humidifier on a timer that turns on half-way though the plants light cycle and is on for 2 hours. It starts at 12 midnight and runs until 2:00 A.M. I just put some little reflective covers over 2 of the pots to try to increse the light to the lower buds on the plants. At or around 1:00 A.M. i go in there and spray all the plants down and water them. I just added the humidifier 3 days ago and it is working great. before i had it, my temps were in the high 90's and the humidity was 16%. now my temp averages at about 85 degrees in the light cycle and the humidity is around 30%
I am not curently using any nutrients, but i will see how they turn out.
Please comment on whatever or sugest different Ideas.
Thanks, Closetbud
