well, I will be using my closet, 55 1/2inchs long, 24inchs (2ft) wide and 8ft in height...

what is the BEST lighting for that type of space as far as wattage/fixture,etc -- i want something between the most expensive and economical, i'm not workin w/a LOT of money here...

i'll also throw in an oscillating fan. Besides this, does anyone have suggestions on what to do about ventilation? someone also mentioned a suncourt duct fan -- any other odds and ends I should add??

Haha case fans for the win! Im using one of them too, venting out my cardboard box...now thats ghetto.

2 feet of width isnt a lot of elbow room..i would get claustorphobic. you could fit a few small fluorescents in there. :confused:

First, remember that warmer air will naturally rise to the top of any container, and that cooler air will naturally settle towards the bottom.


Since the object is to remove as much warm air as possible, and replace it with cooler air, it will be most efficient to place the exhaust as close to the top of the space as possible, and place the intake as close to the bottom as possible.


If you find that the "Lights off" temps are lower than you'd prefer, you can simply run the fan from the same timer as the light by using a multi outlet power strip connected to the timer. Plug the lights and the fan into the power strip, and the fan will turn on/off with the lights. If you're using more than one fan, you could connect some or all of them, remembering that the more fans you have running, the lower the temps will be.

Damn bro, your box is ghetto...it is also a lot bigger than mine. I just put a second case fan in there blowing in the plant's direction to strengthen its tiny stem. The fan ontop is venting hot air out.
