Pulling 683 watts for lighting. Works out to 53 watts per square foot.

No shortage of light in here. plants are loving the new space and the lights.

I should also mention that I changed my venting plan a bit and it's working great so far for temps. I am using a passive intake from my master bathroom in a separate room, using a 6" inline fan and carbon filter to exhaust into the bedroom the closet is in. This seems to work great as the...

Light trap is just some dollar tree foam board to block direct light and a bit of filter material inside.

Mostly done and plants are in. Added light trap for passive intake and added some PVC framing around the door to prevent the negative pressure from sucking in door too much. Temps stay at 80-82 with all lights turned all the way up. Decided to try out air pots, just transplanted a few girls in...

Well. Your right, I should have and will make somthing to block light for a few hours while flowering. But currently my passive intake is from an adjacent room that is not used much and can be dark all day if needed.

Yes I will probably do that eventually but not totally concerned as night cycle will be at actual night while I am sleeping so there will be no light to leak in.

My plants seem happiest around 50,000-60,000 lux. (I think?) Reads 500-600 on my meter. I'm not sure what is perfect but I know what my plants have liked in the past. IMO Lux meter is all you need as it will give you the reference point to dial in height.

Lots out there that would work fine but I like the LX-1010B.

Thanks man, I found the 320 to be best at around 18", I bought a light meter to help find the sweet spot.

Life got busy and this project was on hold but I'm back and it's nearly finished. I think I will need to build a frame for the entrance as it currently seems a bit flimsy and sucks in too much from negative air pressure. Still need to add my qb96 elite's and do some wire management but it's...

Right on! I was thinking about shelves but dont think I'll put any in. Probably mount all my LED drivers on the walls.

Put up another coat of paint and put in the passive air intake. Air just comes in from the room that the closet is in. Put some cotton batons in the intake for filtering air and can easily replace by removing the air intake slats.

Those are 1'x2' trays, it's a 2x2 space with 2 plants...and a basil plant.

Second coat of paint applied. And 2 HLG-185-54 drivers showed up for the QB96 elite v2s. Planning to finish paint and sealing this weekend and maybe start on ventilation. Here is a couple Cali OG Kush x Haze in veg...with some Basil. Theses girls had an rough start but should be...

I was thinking about that. I am just paranoid about moisture getting trapped between the tent material and the wall. There wont be any bugs and shit getting in when I am done. Planning for this to be a meticulously clean grow space. It will be sealed tight with the exception of intake and exhaust.

Im thinking grow tent material may be the best for my "door" Its durable and has the mylar inside. Just need to find some at a reasonable price, its not cheap but I plan for this room to be operating for quite a while and looking for a clean solution. Then I might also use the material on the...

I know the total usable wattage is on the high side but I will almost never (if ever) run at full power. I keep a close eye on my plants and since all my LEDs are dimmable its easy to dial in the sweetspot for the plants. I adjust wattage as needed while using plants and light meter as...

Ill take a look thanks. Appreciate your insight but that tarp is still too small. And yes I definitely want white for the side in the grow area

I was thinking about something like this, after a quick look at vinyl back grounds I cant see many big enough, and the ones that are bigger are way too big and a bunch of $$. I would need a single piece of at least 6.5' x 7.5'.... So far the only thing I can find that size that doesnt break...
