If I were you I would use 2 2ft fluorescent tubes, and 4 4 ft fluorescent tubes (2 on each side).... or etc. as far as size goes, get the lengths that will fit in your area... I think I have spent a total of 2,000 dollars on growing herb over the course of my life, and have harvested hundreds of lb.'s, you gotta spend some to get some ;) tell your hubby that, :D :peace:

Live and learn! When I first started, I bought the wrong lights, so I had to go get the right ones,then more of them(cfl's),things to hang them with,soil, nutes,ph meter,tds meter,peat plugs,a swamp cooler, fans,a 400 watt complete grow light I can't use until I get proper ventilation,a 150 watt hps,cloning gel,epsom salt,better soil,vermiculite, perlite,molasses,pots,trays...it all adds up.

Hey Stoney,

I also grow in a mobile. I have boxes in the master bath and vent the veg through the bath exhaust. The flower box vents through the ceiling into the attic. I removed an existing light fixture (safely) and use the hole. Does your closet have a regular light? If not the whole you cut could be replaced with a faux fixture when the room is converted back to regular use. I am cooling my 400 this way with an air cooled hood and it works well.

The humid air will hold a temp (hot/cold) longer than dry air (specific heat capacity of water is much higher than dry air).

It was over 100 Monday...heat wave is on its way to you...not looking forward to the summer electric bill!
