Hey guys,
Looking for thoughts on ways to improve my grow room. This is the start of a second grow.
I have a closet which measures eight feet long, six feet high, and 33 inches deep. If possible, I want to stick with CFLs. If you look at the pictures, I have some sprouts in Grodan rock wool, which will be planted in some soil in the next few days. I'm primarily using goose neck lamps with a 42 CFL watt bulb in each, and will stick to an 18/6 on off cycle, as I did 24 hours last time, and had 5 1/2 foot high plants.
The third picture shows the closet walls lined with cheap aluminum foil from the dollar store. The adjustable clothing rack was used in my first grow, using those lights with the clamp and the reflector hoods. I had the clamps attached to the side poles, and would adjust the height from the lamp to the plant as the tree grew larger. Occassioanlly the clamps get loose, slides down, and burns the plant. Later on, the clamp lamps were hung from their cord. I did not like that set up too much, as those big reflectors got in the way.
The last pictures shows the reflector lamps, and extra shelves built in.
Will the goosenecks work? These are 17 inches high, and I'd rather have low bushy plants. Just for kicks, I also want to grow some vegetables in the closet.
Thanks,
Bob
