Will this Closet Set-up work?

Making sure you have no light leaks is obviously number one thing to have checked before going into flower, theres no leaving the door cracked open because its hot stuff going on is there?

Im curious why dont you have an exhaust on this setup? Get the heat from the grow room, to outside. How the heck can you even tolerate a bedroom @ 88 degrees?? I would be sweating continuously. 75 should be your goal, and your plants will grow to potential aswell
Where I live its usually pretty hot anyways. I don't even notice. It stays closer to 85 now.
I don't have exhaust because I never needed it before when I only used LEDs. At the current time, I'm not really able to expand much. Maybe at a later date I could have a more efficient setup. I just need this to be good enough to harvest the one plant.

While I'm in darkness, the door is not cracked and the heat drops significantly with the lights off.
I feel like I have it all covered pretty well, and I even put one of my small fans on the timer because the plug on it emits a little light. So even that has been dealt with. But perhaps I will take some secondary measures to help it improve.

I've actually noticed some white hairs now, I just could not edit that post for some reason and I did not want to triple post.

I think I was just being impatient.

Been a while since I updated. In that time, I've moved and consequently took my closet set-up with me. She is looking beautiful and is 5 weeks along in Flower.




Right click, View image on the 2nd picture. I dont know why it turned sideways, when it isn't. Perhaps for format convenience.

Lots of white hairs developing the entirety of the branches, and crystals are starting to coat the leaves.

When should I begin flushing? I am still using the Flora Trio nutrients.

Well, she has been harvested and is currently hanging to dry. i clipped her 1 day after the 8 week mark of Flowering.

I had a decent amount of orange hairs and the trichomes looked about right with the plastic look.

I got just under an ounce. 27.2 grams



Here are some bud shots. I used the trim and a small amount of the flower to make some Canna Coconut Oil that has been very pleasant. The rest is curing.

I have sampled some of it already and I am quite pleased with the result, though I don't doubt you all if you say it was cropped early.

I used the Jewelers Loupe and I tried to identify different things that determine if it is ready, such as the plastic looking crystals and the hairs getting darker and curling in.

I clipped it one day after 8 weeks in flower.

Yes no need for the smaller lights just lower the led or raise the pot you could do 2 with that lamp and spacealso
Cfl's are great IF within 6" of the plant,a clamp reflector would help and keep in mind the cheap double bulb socket adapter.You can use 2 bulbs that way and they only cost $3 or $4 dollars.If your supplementing.



So, I've been on 12/12 lighting for a little bit now and I haven't seen any white hairs really. Is there anything I could be doing wrong?

The plant otherwise looks pretty much perfect and healthy. I defoliated the underbrush, so that the plant will focus on my tops and I've switched my nutrients to the FloraBloom, accordingly.
