Can it be done?
Here is my plan but I wanna run it by some people and see if it's possible. I just finished up a C99 SCROG with a 600w HPS. Although I liked it, I wanna give perpetual a shot. I ordered some seeds to cross and wanna run a mother, at least 12 clones, and the 600w HPS to flower in a 24''x48'' area. The grow space is built in my master bedroom closet. I built a false wall and pretty much split it in half. I have a 6'' intake hole running through the wall into my bedroom and covered up by furniture. I will most likely make another one. The only thing I dont like about my setup is my exhaust has to run down under my house via a hole I cut in my floor. This means there is a long run of ducting from the light height to the floor. My setup is Carbon Filter>Fan>Air Cooled Hood>Out.
Okay so what I wanna do is build a 16''wx16''lx48-60''h mother box that fits in the corner of my room to the left with maybe 2 CFL's in it. Then in the back I will build a 24''wx48''lx24''h box for a clone area with two 24'' T5's. The Flower area will sit on top of this box. Obvious issues with this would be heat and lightproofing. I dont think these flourescents will heat up too much but the boxe(s) will be exhausted into the Flower area. I still dont know if I wanna make the boxes connected or not. If I did this it would be an akward shape and might build up heat in spots. I wanna try to keep this to PC fans or 4'' duct boosters for the boxes. Connecting them would make lightproofing easier because I would only have 2 holes instead of 4. The doors arent an issue to lightproof. Any thoughts guys? I would really like some feedback cause I'm tired of planning it in my head lol..
Here are some pics..
That shelf pulls out and there is a 57 1/2''x20'' hole in the wall.
This is where the Clone box/Flower stand will be.
On the left is where the Mother box will be.
Exhaust on the other side going under the house.
This is my first box and the mother box will be something like this without the HPS and the Carbon Filter.
