I have a rather large walk-in closet that is soon to be converted into a grow space.
Dimensions:
8ft some inches high
3ft 4in deep
and 4ft 6in wide
i have a list of materials i am planning to buy and doing all the work myself.
for the most part i was just wondering if,
1. can anyone fill me in on any other materials that are not already on my list that i might need.
2. you dont have to be an artist or designer but if you can use your imagination and picture the size of my space, I would love to see some sketches or ideas on configurations etc.
the closet has two sliding doors that will be removed and replaced with thick black plastic that can seal off and will have vent ports for exhaust and intake. and my balcony door is right next to the closet so the intake hose can be placed close by to get lots of fresh air from outside. At the moment i have my clones in a small enclosure placed in my closet until i can put money into converting it. but luckily i just got a new job that will hopefully stick so since ill be starting this project soon i want to get some opinions.
Shopping list:
-More lights (currently using CFLs for cost, considering using HPS though in the future which would include the fan cooled set up)
-4" carbon filter
-4" inline fan x2
-thermometer and humidity reader (the one i already bought is terrible if anyone can suggest a brand.)
-tools etc.
-aluminum duct hose
-self-oscillating fan (using a small non-oscillating one atm because they are currently in a small enclosure.)
-flowering lights
-intake filter
-mylar
-sillicon
-new timer (again, the cheap one i got because im broke does not work well and has already screwed up my light cycle twice....)
-PH tester
-Co2 (maybe... im using my home made Co2 generator that i learned how to make on youtube. i think it works pretty well and its super cheap. and you can always make it bigger for more Co2 production.... any opinions on this?)
-pest control supplies - if someone could tell me what all that entails exactly-
-some basic wood supplies for use as building materials
-florescent lights for sprouts clones and veging
thats what i have so far. any help is much appreciated. I have read a lot about the grow process but this is my first hands on attempt.
so far all are doing fair.
i can elaborate further on how the plants are doing later with some pics. thanks all for reading my thread and thanks for all the help that im sure to get.
i am new to this site (introduced myself on the "new members" thread if you would like to read.) and i love it so far everyone seems super helpful and i am very excited to learn how to do something of a natural interest of mine. way to go rollitup!
peace

hopefully this will also give a good idea of the general layout of the closet though. Shelves n everything will be taken down and obviously I have a lot of organizing and cleaning to do. the bottles are a homemade Co2 generator I learned how to make. Its pretty interesting and I think its working ok but def getting a co2 burner down the road. I have to keep the top open for now to vent the heat since I have no ventilation right now. The damprid dehumidifier works great though (small white bucket in bottom) got it from home depot. I would reccomend it it keeps my himidity at a steady 35%.
