Growing in a Secret Closet

Secret green giant · #1 12-04-2006, 12:26 AM

Dear All
I'am just starting in growing my own plant. however i really need some advise from you all...
I currently have:
1. 1- 800-watt MH and HPS dual lighting system.
2. 1- floro lights 2 bars (seedlings, clones)
3. 1- Co2 generator
4. 1- ozone generator ( smell/air cleaner)
5. 1- regular fan
My grow room is about 5L x 4W x 7 tall
my major problems is that i have to keep the closet closed. but there are
no vents or window in the closet. does any of you have any suggestions on
what to do to keep tempreture down? (should i get a smaller light?)
or will the fan be enough?
i'am planing to grow about 15 plants per rotation. i will have 2 stages.
please help i need to set up in a month

Your light is 800watts?

Please post a link or a pictures

thank you....

Yes, heat can often be a problem... you will need to pay close attention to heat issues.. You should get a thermometer and start thinking of ways to exhaust your LIGHT.. You will definitelyneed to EXHAUST your light..

The heat needs a place to GO.

cheers

No vents....man thats pretty rough...heat is going to be a problem. You have to have some type of air flow. I don't know if this will help but at least check it out:

Yes my light is 800 watts here is the link:
MH/HPS Dual Spectrum Grow Lights=

i looked everywere for equitment. and this was the cheepest place i could
find.

What do you all think about having a exhaust fan from the light fixure goint to the crack of the door. (little opening below the door when you close it)
would this be enought?
my other option was to just leave the closet door open during "Lights On"
(room the closet is connected to is very big room w/window)
last but not least: i currently haver 10 white widow 10 crystal 10 ice2000 seeds. since i'am a amature. what seeds would be the most begginers friendly?
Thank you all,

Ok first things first! Do you live in a house? Some where in this forum I think we talked about you living in a condo or an apartment (I think). If you live in anything but a house your going to have probs. for sure. Ozone thingey is ok but not enough when budding. Try using a charcoal can if you can afford one. They range from $175 on up. Or use this great stuff for clearing the air - Optimum Growth's Oder Killer. Works great. BGHydro sells it.

2nd - Heat prob. for sure. I Would exhaust with door open durring veg. but need to exhaust elsewhere when budding. Up maybe? - an attic? Just a thought.

3rd - White Widow is a very friendly plant to grow and potent! But the smell is intoxicating (very strong like cat pee I guess). Very nice plant to grow.

Crystal and Ice are about the same just different smell! Very nice selection of seeds you have! All three are potent, but Widow is the most potent, then Ice, Then Crystal.

unhook the door knob and exhaust through the HOLE.... or CUT a new HOLE...

yes cut a HOLE

there is a device ive seen in my local grow shop that actually acts as a cooler for hps lights
i must find out the name of it..

it basically acts like some kind of a chemical reaction that gives off cold..or i guess to be more accurate takes in heat (endothermic?)

anyone else see one of these???

Garden Knowm · #8 12-04-2006, 08:48 PM

I have not.. but you have my full attention...

Never saw what your talking about, but I have seen and been around cold heat devices for rocketry!

well the best thing for u to grow is shwagg, for begginers, Im new to growing too, and if it wasnt for my friend, my stuff would be, i dunno. But he started off w/ shwagg for a bit till he knew what he was doing and now he has like a forest... The weed your growing, white widow and ice is pretty hard growing, but u have us here on this site, so good luck
