    [FONT=&quot]The closet grow I'm setting up is getting more and more complicated as it grows.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]My plans for soil/fert/potting is to use all organic soil and fert (preferably 20-20-20), with pots ranging to a dixie cup, to a peat pot, to a 1 gallon, then 2 and see if it needs to be expanded after that.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Seeds will be bagseed. (Two plants)[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]CFL's, 150 watt, 6500k for Veg, 2700k for flowering, daylight spectrum of course.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]The hardest part for me will be ventilation. I have no way of using the air ducts, and there are no vents in said closet. My plan is to set up a tall box, hang lights from the shelf inside the closet (the closet is 6'x5') where they can be adjusted with a secure pulley system. I plan on setting up an oscillating fan at light level so that most of the heat of the lights can be counter acted. Now, I have no experience in such matters, but my understanding is that if there is some sort of air flow through it, especially at a higher level, the two plants I plan on will be cooled sufficiently. Smell isn't a problem.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Any advice or tips are appreciated.[/FONT]
     
  2. You're going to need some ventilation. You don't want to leave them in a closed closet. If you could leave the door open with a box fan blowing in that could work.
