Ok here is my first attempt at growing. I did alot of research but would like the community's help in making a very good grow closet. I have attached alot of pictures which I hope will show you the closet I have to work with and how I have it set up now.
I started the plants you will see on April 11. I just put them in the soil from seeds and this is what they look like today. They are a little stretched because I didn't have my 400w HPS until 5 days in.
The temps in the room have been a bit high, usually from 85-88 on average. I use a 110 CFM fan in the ceiling that vents to attic and ends in a carbon scrubber. For intake I have a 4" duct that is spliced into my house's AC duct work in attic (see pics). Right now I have to keep the closet door cracked or temps hit 90.
To remedy this so far I have a 290 CFM on order that will replace the 110 I am using. For intake I have a few options.
I could either replace the 4" duct with 8" or even 10". I could cut several small holes in the bottom right of my wall (bottom right of first pic) that go out to my room for more passive intake. I could use some type of inline fan to vent my heat light/cooltube directly out to attic. Not sure how you move lights once you have ducting attached to it though??
Anyways I would like to get the temps down more and my end goal is to be able to keep the door to the room where this closet is, open all the time. Right now I have to keep it shut because I have to keep the closet doors cracked.
I am looking for good advice and too see what other people with more experience would do with this space. I am open to any suggestions. I don't want to spend much money if possible (spent enough already!) but I can spend some and I can modify the closet quite extensivley if needed. I live by myself so I have a lot of privacy.
Lets pimp my closet guys!!!
