Hi there guys!

I´m new in this brave new world, and this is my first post. So, i thank you in advance for your help. :-o

I´ve did my research and i´m now trying to build a grow room in my open closet.

There isnt much space, but i only want to grow 3 or 4 each time. I´ve already done a schematic based on what i´ve learned.

Specs:

- The closet pole is going to hold the false ceiling that is holding the lamp (250W HPS) and the 2 CPU fans that are extracting the air. The false ceiling will go up and down;

- Ventilator on the bottom let fresh air in, and the 2 ventilators on the top let hot air go away;

- Aluminium foil on Walls;

- As it is an open closet, i´m going to close it with big plastic (painted in white) with a velcro perimeter, so that we can fix it to the closet and remove it when we want.


I think i´m going to need one more fan to keep the air circulating, but basicaly this is it.

So what do u think guys? any big flaws?

Thanks, and keep on growing :weed:

Foil is fine there are a few threads showing foil myth is destroyed. use foild just make sure it is nice a flat and not crinkled up. and your grow space is smaller than mine by about 30%. i use a 250 and i have a cooltube with 250 cfl inline duct fan and then i have 2 120 mm fans one for extracting and one for intake. and my temp hits about 78 max. so i would suggest 4X 120 mm fans 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom to make sure u dont get to hot. becuase with that small space heat can be a def issue. so 150 watt hps would be amazing. are you going to use a cool tube or what type of hood are u going to be using?

250 gets really warm in a small area and looking at your area are u going to close it off and add a door or something or just keeping it open and if u add a door or something i would highly suggest cool tube or something to keep it cool. or a 150 hps and then u can use a fan. but i lettign u know if u find it gets to hot with 250 and u get a cool tube u lose about 10 cm from your height. i would use lst big time in your grow area

if there´s too much hot i will try with a fan, and then try a cooltube.

Thanks for the advice on the lst, i´m going to do some research on that :)

why does it sucks? it as 70% reflective rate vs 90% from mylar, but it is much cheaper.

& yellow paint is also 70%
flat white paint is 85% reflective.
emergency blankets are mylar & are a buck or 2 if cost is that important
why use foil?

We have free foil, and emergency blankets and mylar are more expensive around my country :)

Get a Humidifier from Walmart. a fan and a large water dish will work too. looks good for a very small operation. might wanna get a 250 watt cooltube though

the temp is not a problem, i get 93ºF with no fan. with fan probably 76-82ºF. Going to test it today.

93 is pushing it. the 76-82 would be perfect. a fan blowing the plants around a bit will help with temps, keep your plants healthier, and make the stems stronger. a cheap like 10 dollar fan from walmart would work. just want some good circulation around and threw the plants. hell then you can put a dish of water in there and get your humidity up

Can the dish of water and the fan raise humidity to 50-60%?
