Hello all!

Today marks the day of a new grow site. I recently aquired a walk in closet that is 4'10" x 7' x 7'. In which i would like to have a perpetual grow. So now you get what my goal is, what would you do if you were in my shoes?

how much are you looking to spend?
how much are you looking to harvest?
how many stages of life do you want?
but if it were up to me and I would do a vertical grow using 5 gal buckets as resivoirs and getting 3~5 3-4"wye fittings per bucket. You want probably 4-6 buckets then you set them up in a semi circle around vertical hanging bulb(s) either a 1k or 2 600's or 3 400's
then hang a black white poly "door" and use the front space as the mother clone veg area. Using some diy areoponic cloners, but make them big enough that you can clone and veg in the same machine that way you just have to transfer them one time into the 5gal bucket towers. in this area use what ever light floats your boat as I dont think it maters that much. I would only veg for maybe a month or 6 weeks from cloning to vert grow. As you want them kind of small. Think vertical sea of green.

I would grow in it no question about it.Pics are always nice to think of how to set it up, or make a diagram of how the room is laid out.

I have to quote to post still. Think about venting too. Big time in closets. Just pumping it out is not enough. Heat does not just rise, it really rised and acumalates fast and well. You either need to A. vent out the roof or B. install a fake closest door blank from lowes and cut some holes as high as you can and really pump the hot air hard. A. is optimal as the fan can be weeker. I tried in a closet and attepted to blow it out. The heat was staggering. I then got a tent cuz I rent and easily keep it twnty degrees cooler than a closet by pulling out the tent, a confined space with a six inch or eight in inline fan. I dont even have to use hoods right now I am finding. I would recomend cool tubes, before I sold mine I loved them. Here is a thought. How about splitting the closet with some 2 x4 s and some plywood and vegging and mothering underneath and flowering on top. Cheesy as they are in jorge cervantes "five easy gardens" this guy has a nice setup doing that. He uses 150 watt hps, two of them, underneath and a 600 up top. Same size as yours i believe.

Sorry all for the late reply. I would like to grow use ebb and flow.

One idea I had was to purchase a growlab tent (4x4) And light it up with a 600.

I currently have a 400. I would like to drill in the walls but I can't due to I moved in a appartments complex. Thanks for all the advice. Keep the advice Rollin.

The strain I plan on using is a result from my breeding projects (recently bought the cannibis breeding bible) it's a hybrid of purple erkle crossed several times with humbolt gold.
