Hey all.

I've recently set up a closet for growing some personal marijuana. I'm trying to just grow the plant first and then get into it more.I got a few seeds from a friend
forget what strain

Grow Area - Closet 4'W x 2'D x 8'H

Lighting - Right now for the seeds x4 27watt CFLs. When they get a bigger I will use a Standard Area Light.http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=100652898&N=10000003+9 0156

Ventilation - Just one fan moving air(is that enough???)

Medium - Garden soil.

Temp - n/a

Humidity - 20%

PH - 5.5 - 6.0

as u have carpet ect.. bit dodgy having cable over the place looking at pic mmm.. wot abot taking a little knotch out between the door frame where the hings are, big enough for ur cable, on the bottom then maybe u could then run it along ur wall outside or even tuck in under carpet along ur wall/floor and if u change or stop just use a poly filler for the knotch u took out or even keep the bit u take out then u just stick it back an re paint

**doobiee** · 03-17-2009, 03:36 PM

Any other ideas??

Use potting soil not garden soil or Fox Farm Ocean Forest also your ph is too low bring it up between 6.5 to 7.0 for soil. Don't use halogen for growing plants they don't work just get another cfl and one fan is fine for that size grow room but you will need to bring in fresh air also. As far as getting power to your grow room don't know other than extentsion cord.

Man.. you got a ways to go...
Dont worry about the electric cords...

Like somebody said.. you need more lights. If you just want to go with "normal" bulbs get more CFL. Get the daylight (6500k) for the veg stage. Get the highest wattge bulbs you can get (I use 42 watt CFL). And get the cfl Bulb no more than 3 inches away from the plants. Halogen bulbs are too hot and dont emmit as much light per watt as CFL.

Im also doing my grow in a carpeted closet and i just have 2 extension cords runing in the closet,no big deal. You can look at the pics in my journal.
