so i just built a flower box that is 3.5x3.5x6 in a small room in my basement. i also want to make a veg box in the same room, so i can just lock it all up in the same space.
here is my problem... my flower box is in no way light proof. there are 2 roughly 6"x6" intake holes that double as holes for my cords. also the door is not snug fitting, but this is an easy fix. anyways, i am pretty set on a rubbermaid (stacked 2 high) veg box with a small hole on each side for air exchange. a fan will be blowing in one end.
so i am worried that the light leak from these small holes in my veg box will leak into my flower box at night and screw up my flowering plants. the only way i can think of fixing this is by putting a blanket or two over the veg box at night to keep in the light.
would this be too little fresh air if i covered them for 12 hours?? is there a better solution?
also, would this be too little of a light leak to worry about? the room this is happening in is 7'x11', so pretty small. the tubs will probably have a 3"x3" hole on each side leaking light. the holes in my big flower box are 6"x6", this would be pretty much the only area that would let in any signifigant light.
what you think?? any input for any one of my many questions is greatly appreciated. thanks
fuck that was alot of typing
