My first grow in my outdoor closet, its fully drywalled, then i used a combo of styrafoarm isulation, plastic sheeting, expanda foam, wood and fiberglass insulation.
Not sure on the wattage of all the bulbs, they can be changed too.
Fan up top to circulate airflow, gonna vent the room every few hours for fresh air?

Gonna do a test run today with temps beforw i get clones.
Please reply with some ideas and critisism, this is my fist build and im about 200 bucks, i started with nothing, fresh apt.

Looks like a helluva start.

The only issue I see that is a possible hazard is the mounting of the lights. The chances thast the tape could fail are pretty high. I would find a way to mount the lights on a 2x2 and suspend if from the top or build a small stand to hang the lights from. Sure would hate to get a nice set of plants growing only to come home one day and find a light has fallen and snapped a couple of plants or worse, start a fire.

Peace and Safe Grows

Thanks man! Was purley for mock up and picture purpoises. I plan on mounting everything on something legit. Might pick up my clones tonight.

Added a 35 gal tub in there for water storage :) the only giveaway on this grow is the one tan colored ext cord coming out the corner of the door haha

UPDATE: trial run all day while i was at work, during the day outside it was around 40-50 today, at night it drops to 10-30, i was worried, but when i got home from work at 9PM i open the door to nice warm room :) and thats with the ventilation running the whole time too with the lowest fan speed, so im guessing when i upgrade lights i have two more fan speeds to kick it up to too cool it off better.

i dont remember the average temps off the top of my head but it was perfect, like a high of 67 and low of 56 around there :D

56 will stunt if not kill'em IMO you should be looking 4 temps around 64-68 ... not average lows either the lowest temp they should see. One way to work around that would be your ventilation

got my clones in :) ForumRunner_20121213_083752.pngladybug.pngplants.png

my humidity is finally up to 40-50 percent (i have bowls of water out and constantly spritz the room) the plants were a little dry and i had nothing to ph balance them so i didnt water til the next morning when i got my ph down and tester. those pics are old ill update tomorrow. after watering and draining the humidity and heat is doing much better now that the plants are starting to "sweat" a little :)

going to take those stupid t8 bulbs down, and build a better CFL setup with a small hood. need more heat. dont want to run a stupid space heater.
