I have two closets that are identical, i want to do a hydro grow this time around and have no idea what to do . attached is a pic of one closet since they are both the same. dimensions are 2"Dx3"Wx8"H2012-09-16_21-12-24_306.jpg

It has two shelves i was thinking of removing and maybe cutting the closet in half for more level that i can grow on? is 8 ft not enough to do that?

give me some good ideas :}

intake fans are better when put low and outtakes high

ok.. makes sense.. thats pretty much what i do too..im in a basement and it stays pretty cool(when its hot out i have a central ac vent blowing in the direction of my box) so i just pull from the cold ground for intake and exhaust out the top with a run of ducting to the other side of the basement where the furnace is and that removes my stale air from the environment and its workin so far..can u tape ur exhaust ducting to the front of ur ac to rid the room of stale air?

Just to be different I'll say split both closets at the 4' mark. Use one closet for vegging, cloning, mom. Use the other closet for dual flowering areas with short veg time for small plants. Have the 2 flower sections on the same light cycle of course but stagger them like a month apart.

In all honesty for me I wouldn't do all that but it's just a thought. It's kind of a small area for a hydro setup, but that just IMO.

OK the area is pretty small for hydro like others have said. With filling, refilling, leaks, lines - keep it in dirt. If you make one a veg room and other a flower you have regular harvests (or more frequent) and the fewer hours with the flower light means less heat handling daily. 6 hours is a lot of saved BTUs. Consider SOG or SCROG - both designed for close quarters combat.

Semper fi, Mac.

Looks like a water farm set up just as Scottyballs has will work the best.And start out 18 hour in both closets/wait 30 days and flip to 12 hours.
Just takes 2 plants to yield 20 oz.
400watt each room.
