New Grower Questions about CFL light and ventilation.

[molegrower]

That is a really decent setup but for me i can't be drilling holes and all into my cab because my father would be pissed off if i were to do that. So i guess my only option is to have a fan inside the cab

Gotcha...that's going to be tough.. to get the air flowing... I'm.sure someone here has experience on that one..

Yeah so i really need some help on this. The temp here is pretty high like 29-32c and i'm afraid the plant might have some heat stress so i'm thinking if i should leave my closet open or close and also i'm definitely getting the fan. More advices please.

I wouldn't think your plant would survive long in a closed closet with no fresh air exchange. If the light leaking is ok, then leave the door open until you can get a better setup. Remember the basics; light, water, and air. Without these three, you can't grow really. Not trying to discourage, bro because there are tons of ideas to get around stuff. I don't know it all and don't always think of the obvious stuff, but as a collective unit, AFN is the best there is for Autos. :

Nammy! I am back today as much as I can and beyond. Actually using the laptop and browsing and helping much like I used to. Thanks for missing me. :

Okay so i will just leave the door open ? Would there be any negatives effects on my plant or lesser yield by alot if i were to leave it open and light leaks ?

 

[The Squid]

Yes, leave it open for now. The light that leaks out is fine compared to not getting any fresh air. You still have three other walls to bounce off of. You'll be fine. :

I was having negative thoughts and all but thanks to you i'm gonna give it my best. So if i summarise it, 2 60Watts cfl (Daylight & Warm Mixed) hanging vertical and one fan inside my closet facing up and blowing my lights and with my closet open, everything will be okay ?

 

[The Squid]

Yup, and you may get more coverage hanging them horizontal. :

Attached is a picture of the closet i'm gonna use. As you can see the walls are all white in color already and also the window is just right opposite. Advices and opinions would be appreciated and many thanks to those that helped

 

[Herbfulness]

How do i hang them horizontally ? The wire would be hanged from the metal bar and the light would be naturally vertical and facing down. Do you think it will be okay if it's facing vertically ?

 

[The Squid]

Yup. Vertical is just fine. You'll just get a little more coverage horizontally. No worries, mate. :
