Okay so atm i have my single plant in a cabnet stealth growing with cfl lights, But the problem is i cant keep in cabnet cooled. How hard is it for me to just take my set up and stick it in the corner of my closet or something. Does it have to actually be inclosed? Or could i just stick my 3 cfl lights on top of the plant, blow a fan in there and call it good?

You need to reflect the light you give it at the same time cool the area to an acceptable temp. Then during the darkness, it needs to be 100% sealed from any possible light leaks. As long as you can do that, you should be ok.

So how could i reflect the light which i give it? The walls in the closet are all white. But i'm curious how to reflect from above. I dont really have one of those reflectors. Does anyone have any ideas?

Your walls are all white so thats good and the lights are up top right? You should be good then. Just work out airflow and light leaks. :hump:

Yeah i will have my lights above my plants. But there is nothing reflecting from above. My closet is about 7 feet high or so. But the plants are on the bottem. Know what i mean? I should reflect the light dirrectly above my lights right? or will just the white walls and hanging the lights directly above them be enought?

You mean for when i flower? Im not worried about the plants getting light at that stage. That room gets pitch black at right. PLus they are in the closet. My only worries are when the lights are on my baby i will keep them 2-3 inchs above the plant will i lose alot of light intensity from above, due to no reflector above? Yes the walls are white. But do you know what i mean?
