So I am in my third cycle in a bedroom of my house, problem is the door has warped a little bit and there's some small light leaks. I need three feet to open the door (it swings into the room) but I need to cover up these light leaks before I start flowering. I have used plastic in the past but it keeps ripping off because alot of my fresh air comes from outside the room through the door.
Because of the way the joists are set up under the house, it'd be really hard for me to drill a six inch hole in the floor without doing some fairly large modification that the land lord would likely notice later. Do you guys have any ideas of how to prevent these light leaks? |

Maybe a new door with some kind of Velcro attached heat deflective material so you can remove it when and if you leave the property?
I have also heard that hardwood doors do not warp hardly at all even in high heat situations but hardwood doors are much more expensive.

Im not sure if I understand right but if the door is the issue you can use 3 mil black plastic staple it around the dorr jambs and then they make a tarp zipper you peel the backing off and its sticky. You stick it in the middle of the doors plastic and push it til it sticks.You then unzip it and run a razor between the zipper teeth making a slit all the eay down. You now have a zipper door sealed all the way around. You can close th regular door to hide it from the outside.They have them at home depot, menards and walmart from $8-$18

how about some foam strips? some matress type foam cut to suit and glued to the frame will allow the door to open and close and still allow some air to pass through while blocking the light.

Set up a plastic layer with 2X4s connected at the bottom and ceiling so hopefully the air wont keep pulling it off like it has in the past.
Yeah, I actually have a hard wood door but its a cheapo for sure, that's why it's warping like a piece of garbage. Starting 12.12 tomorrow... running 3600 watts of Care Free (Super Silver HazeXEarly Durban) and Gush (af-good\kush) Always fun to watch new strains and crosses grow. I saw the guys outdoor project that gave me the clones, they look nice. Should be a sixty day strain. |

weather stripping works well.
