    i have a closet about 6 foot high 2 and a half feet deep and and about 3 feet wide. i bought 4 of these white plastic sheets about 3 and a half feet tall, i was going to put those around the plants for reflectivity, i was wondering how many plants i would be able to grow in that area? i will have a fan facing downward on the plants to cool them off, i bought all the fox farm nutrients and soil, i have a plan for cfl lighting currently with 12 bulbs i think 243 watts i was also planning on making reflectors with soda cans , i can add more, i was also wondering what do i wire the light sockets to? i was going to lst the plant and top it, i bought reserve privada go kush #18 and barneys farm vanilla kush. i was also thinking of using this when the plant gets stinky later on .. http://forum.grasscity.com/do-yourself/507790-my-coffee-can-carbon-filter.html . still didn't germ my seeds just getting together the last bits of info. and also how important is measuring my ph should i buy an electronic tester?

    any input is greatly appreciated Thank You!!

    You could do 2-3 in 5 gallon buckets if you didn't veg for too long.

    2-3 plants in a 2-1/2 x 3 would be a complete jungle and yields would suffer...

    450w in a cooltube, Sunshine Advanced Mix #4, put a SCRoG screen 10-20" above the soil, plant 1 female seed, and get maybe 1/2 - 3/4lb when all is said and done...

    Can you ventilate this closet while keeping it light-proof?

    There's a CFL wiring tutorial in my sig under the comments (My setup), easy-breezy. You can add as many bulbs as you want. Check out my 16 bulb CFL rig for ideas/questions.

    What kind of light rig are you going with? PVC is easy to work with and allows you to put your bulbs anywhere, plywood + mylar makes a good mount/reflector.

    yeah i was thinking about 2 plants, and i don't know for ventilation i can't really drill into my walls for like air flow, i was thinking maybe attach the lights to that plastic sheet thing i got and hang a couple by the wires or put a piece of plywood on top and put them there

    ^if you can't do that, then you need to find a more suitable place to grow. Or post again when you reach flower, asking us how to ventilate a closet you can't modify and get the same responses. :confused_2:

    Good luck dude.

    i guess i can make a box out of it and cut a hole out of the plywood on top put a 5 inch fan facing downward on the plants

    Buckets are the best.
