I grow in closets, it does get colder at night. As for it being a little colder I think that might actually help because the lights will be warming it some. What I am thinking of doing after this harvest is switching the 12/12 light schedule to run overnight. Maybe you could do this as well. I am going to see how it helps on there heating bill I can almost guarantee it will. The lights keep the back of my house warm I just have to heat the front but during the night both need warmed. It should also protect the plants from the cold radiating through the walls.

How tall is the closet before it gets to the start of the angle in the roof? I don't think you could hang a light from the bar since it is not centered but you could use it for hanging electrical cords. I would just get some decent eye hooks if the roof is secure enough.

Is there any space above/around the door? If you had the room you could put a 4 inch intake fan and let the air exit through cracks. I do this with my veg box it stays a decent temp. Could also get a small fan on the inside to circulate the air.

Man that's a nice spot to grow. I would invest in some HIDs. Looks like a good spot for a 400watt. Im a closet grower too but I live in the deep south and my problem is keeping all the heat out and getting the cool air in. Funny how where you live dictates your weed growing problems. ha good luck dude

there is more room the second picture you see is off to the right inside of the closet.... i can punch holes for outtake or intake as it will lead straight to the bedroom itself.... and its pretty darn good height before the incline to the roof GOOD 6 1/2 feet to 3 1/2 feet...

Are you going to use one closet as a veg and one as a bud or are you going to have 2 seperate grows going? You have another closet going right?

I would put an intake fan (wont need a big one like 4 inch) around the door somewhere. I have mine at the top and it blows onto the cfl reflectors. I am not sure if this is a good idea but the room stays a decent temp.

How many plants do you plan on putting in it? I like SoG style but its legally dangerous because 1 plant is easier to explain for personal than 12 plants, even if they are much smaller.

Looks like it would fit three girls just fine. How tall are you going to get them before you pop them into bud? Or are you going to tie them down? So many different ways to grow weed.
