Mini Closet room and ventilation

Hello everybody,

happy to enjoy finally to grow for myself, wanted some advice.

I bought this Carbon filter setup and made negative pressure, and +- sealed everything, (will seal up more if some start to get out).
i have this construction type lamp evaluated at 5000 lumen's, don't mind criticising me, did some bad pruning, maybe one not even needed.
my closet room size is 85x85x40cm 2.78x2.78x1.31ft, do i have to run carbon filter 24/7 or do i have to install auto on/off time switch relay.
and now i'm thinking on to switching light's (these are a bit hot, at this small space.), now i'm looking at these viparspectra lights, will i be good?

Btw i'm thinking onto growing indica's as they not intend to grow tall.

Oh btw, does someone knows any seeds which grows particularly short, but wide enought?

You can train your plants to be short and wide.
The use of lighting with more output in the blue spectrum,like your construction lamp, also helps to keep the girls compact.

I was reading about lst techniques, will need to try with next strins, those poor babys didn’t get much light earlier, so you’re saying it would be better to buy another lamp like this, or the one i mentioned? I liked it of how cool they run, and is it good to have a bit lower hr%?

I think you're construction lamp is fine.
It's cool white which means it has more blue light and blue light keeps plants short and compact.

I don't have any experience with viparspectra lights but if I were you I'd rather stick the construction lamp.

good to know, thanks, do you think it'd be possible to grow 3 normal feminized indica's?, my pots are 5L - 1.32 gallon
as i read, my carbon filter is for three times bigger spaces, so this aswell a good think as i think, because for now it eliminates everything, and my room smells like carbon itself

Who knows, try it and see.
Worst case if the plant gets too big, just cut some branches off.
You're growing for personal use and not for maximum yield right?

I don't like carbon filters.
They work great in the beginning, but there are a lot of variables that will affect your filter.
Humidity being one of them.
They work but I don't consider them 100% effective.

I am assuming you are from an eastern european country, possibly L, and stealth is important to you.
I would have a back up plan in case of emergencies, maybe an ozone generator or ona gel or a fresh unused carbon filter.
Just in case your filter fails unexpectedly.

Germany to be exact. I've been thinking for a while about O3, i found this one. Should be good, but the same closet is in my room, where i sleep.
in my place it's drier, so it should prolong carbon filter (i know that they usually last for 12-24mths).
I do grow for myself, but the thing is, i smoke like snoop, so maximised yields is what i'm looking for, besides that it's such small space.

Don't use it all the time.
Just in case your filter fails.
Ozone is harmful to you and your plants in high concentrations, maybe even lower concentrations.

You're grow is only as dry as the amount you water your plants.

Only way to be sure is to grow it and see.

Run the filter 24/7, otherwise as soon as its off you lose negative pressure and smell will leak all over your room.

If your from Germany look at led-tech.de

With a proper efficient LED you will only need around 270w to fully light that space in flower.
Forget the blurples, but if you cant afford top end LED like I suggested look for the vipar spectra pro series which are white leds if your on a tight budget.

i'll look there when i move the places.
P.S. when i transferred plants to these buckets, they didn't seem to have much root, maybe i could grow like 3 of them in one bucket, and keep them at this height, due to lack of space per plant?

I would keep them in separate pots. If you want to keep them short look at lst, slowly bend the main stem over a period of time to create an arch and keep em lower.

But what if i separate them in the same pot, just using some sort of cardboard in the middle, plus i read, that autoflowering plants grow smaller, but the thing is, is it better 2small plants in my way, or one normal feminized indica with lst?

The carboard would turn to mulch pretty quick, don't see an advantage to using one pot over two.

Autos do what they want, some will be smaller, some will be huge.
My opinion is you have as much control as possible with photo periods, which you need in small spaces.

You may have plants that drink more than others, over all it's just all bad news this... May have to cull one... Just nothing good, all bad.

okay, watched some videos in microgrowing, will stick to 1 per pot and lst all the way.

I'm growing this in my bedroom under the window ... bloomin nice
