Hey im about to start my plants on 12\12 for flowering. I have a 2x6" ft closet that i will be flowering them in but I cant figure out the best way to make this closet completely dark during the dark cycle. Any ideas on the best way to make this closet completely sealed from light? Thanks!

Assuming you have a "regular" door (swing open), ordinary "Weather Stripping" and a simple threshold, of some sort, should do the trick!

If you have a "Sliding Door", you may have to hang some kind of a "Lightproof Curtain" behind it.

4'x8' sheet of hardboard is what i used to seal my closet that has two folding doors.

check the "journey to nowhere" link in my sig to see pics.


Weather stripping, caulk, and "great stuff" foam is your best friend. :)

Panda film door. Get some industrial strength 1in. velcro at lowes. It has a sticky back. Run it around the inner door frame and attach the panda. You'll need a strip of 1x3 across the floor to attach the velcro. Oversize the plastic a little so you can close the door. Problem solved and stealth retained.

The best tool I have found for dealing with light is blackout curtain material. Can get it at any fabric store, usually around $5 for a yard (which will be 1.5 yards wide), lightweight, seems to breath slowly (ventilation? though I'm not 100% sure on this), blocks all light, and is available in a nice reflective white to boot.
