Whats a good Height & Length for a closet grow space if the closer only goes 2 ft back. Whole space is 8 ft high & 12 ft long so i plan to build within it.
While using a 600w light. & about how many plants could i grow? i was thining between 4 & 6 .

Any Info greatly appreciated

well it depends on how much work/money/time u want to put into this.
but heres my ideas on what u gave :)
its 12 ft long so the space really isnt your problem, but i doubt your light is 12ft long so if its centered and high enough you can probably fit about 8 ideally and max amount of smaller plants.
or less bigger ones. but a 600w light depending on what kind is going to get HOT!

ventilation would be MY first concern.

anyways keep us posted bro :)
what kind of light do you have?

Ya your challenge will be much like mine, how to put the most yield under one light, mine will be a 400w MH. with 5 under it. after mine are done germing and sprouting and being nurtured.
But ya i have a HUGE In-line fan blowing on my light (when its plugged in) because it gets very hot, very quick, and my space is not super enclosed like a closet, its more of a room.

But that my 2 pennies :)

Im just trying for 1 grow space. & yea I already have the 600w light. The highest the light can go in the closet leaves 4.2 ft from the bottom of the light to the ground. so i would build the top right above it. & thinking maybe 5 ft long for the 4 maybe 5 plants. still viable?
