Hello everyone - Hornchen again and this time, with pictures!
As some of you who have been catching my posts from time to time have seen, I am near the end of my planning phase and will be getting ready to pull the trigger here soon! Here is where I would like the input of those on the forums - decided to 'man up' and finally post pictures ( paranoia and all ) because I've gone around in circles trying to figure out the best way to optimize my garden.
Pardon the mess - after 3 months of having an empty room - it started to collect things haha!
My goal - the shelves on the far back wall to be my veg area - separated by panda film from the flower area with its own top exhaust and passive intake at the floor ( more for air movement than heat/smell ) running a set of 4 foot, 4 bulb T5 HO's on each shelf ( shelves are 6 1/2 feet long, 13 inches deep and ranging from 12 inches to 39 inches tall ) which in my opinion, would be great for a perpetual grow setup. In the center I wanted to hang a 600w HPS for a 4x4 ( roughly ) flowering area.
Well, the more i think about it, the more it is going to be a hassle to raise the HPS, move anything in the way of the flower area to tend to the veg area if possible at all if the flowering area is full. The shelves on the side walls I installed in thoughts that I could store supplies and have sturdy bases for oscillating fans. My thoughts now - would it be better to take down the shelves, turn each 'section' on either side ( wooden shelves now ) into veg 'boxes' ( 19 inches long x 15 inches deep x 22 inches tall as pictured but could be made into any height within 7 feet tall ) and devise a way to keep light out and get air movement....
Long story short - I am throwing all previous ideas into the wind with the exception that my ventilation exhaust will be at the top right and passive intake at bottom right ( if your looking into the closet ). Any ideas, making fun of me for taking so long, or even a stfu LOL -
Thanks again everyone,
Hornchen
