i have mylar taped to it, and btw the closet is so big lol im only planning on one plant ,the color of the closet is tan and the mylar isnt covering the entire inside ... how would i prevent light leaks during the night time? shud i cover it with a black sheet?
 
There are a number of light-blocking materials. Before you grow anything turn the light(s) on at night, close the door, and see what leaks. There are silver tapes that work, but it depends on where the leak(s) are...along either side of the door or the top or bottom may require different treatment. Thisk black material will work if it doesn't interfere with the door opening and closing. Pardon me while I take another toke...may sound like a stoned response, but it'll work :)
 
I use that foam adhesive strip to seal the doors and black silicon to seal cracks. Can be a little tricky to get the door gaps right but should be a good air light/seal

this is the portable closet before i put up the mylar inside .... it zippers up in the front and is made of material, not wood or anything. besides the clear plastic on the top wich i can cover, there doesn seem to be any light leakage unless i was to zip open the closet while the lights are on.
