here we go again, this is my new closet, it's roughly 2' x 4' x 52 inches. the light is completely sealed and exhausted. i have a a/c window unit setup for the texas heat this summer.



the plants i have in this box are 4 papayas and 4 kushes. the papaya have been vegging with cfl's and natural sunlight since the first of feb. until last week when they got moved into here.they are all about a foot tall now. the soil they are in is miracle grow with nutes. the kushes are a week or better old. maybe 2 or 3 inches tall. i'll be putting them into a 12/12 light cycle this coming friday.



all comments and questions are welcomed

What wattage HPS do you have and what kind of nutes are you using? Everything looks good man, can you post some more pics of the box setup? Thanks dude

Have you thought about getting any grow big for veg? You would probably good with the nutes in the soil if you plan on flowering pretty early. My grow box dimensions are kinda similar to yours. Mine is 3' wide 2' deep and 4.5' tall. I use a 250 watt but I guess with the AC you can use a 400 watt. Your plants are going to love it haha. Keep up the good work and don't forget to update with plenty of pics

hey sirus, i would definitely recommend papaya. this is my second grow with papaya, not my last either.
this weather has my closet temp down to 57 degrees, the plants look nice and healthy, they don't look cold.

I think plants do much better in colder weather then they do in hot weather. It's always a good thing if your biggest concern is keeping them warm haha. I have always been interested in papaya. It's one of the seeds I would get if I ever got the courage and money to order
