Hello GrassCity!
I'm going to be growing two or three plants in my closet. The strain I'm using will be the KC Brains Northern Lights Original and the closet I have measures just over 4 X 5 X 7 feet, so I have just over 20 square feet.
The light setup I was going to use was
this product from eBay. It comes with a reflective ballast, a 400 watt HPS bulb, and a 400 watt MH conversion bulb. On another website's forum, however, a member told me that this setup would not work for my closet because the amount of lumens is not enough to cover the entire thing. He said I would need to section it off, or else spring for bigger lights. I don't understand why I would have to have the entire room lit when I will only be growing a few plants directly under the light. Am I totally missing something or am I correct?
Also, I think that heat might be a concern. Luckily, my closet does have an air vent near the baseboards to the right of the door. Does anyone have some recommendations for getting the heat out of the room? The attached image is a top view.
Any and all help will be used and *MUCH* appreciated!
Thank You!
