closet trouble 911*4*411

hey all and welcome to my latest post im starting this post because of all the newb's on this sight like myself that still get lost now and again here or there..lol so the main topic is going to be closet grow spaces does and dont's we dont need no arguative and disrespecful people on here it doesnt help our cause. i really want to know is it possible to do a closet grow without putting holes in your door? is it true that people have grown with and open door policy and that was enough for air cooling and circulation with a good fan inside? i and others need your feed back...thanks and good grows to all but better smokes....

i failed to mention that im not at all concerned about the odor at the time simply the yea's and nea's of closet growing...

Open door would be fine if you have a good fan in the closet, but during night cycle your have to close the doors everyday. At the same time and have to be completly light proof. You would need a dehumifer for night time with no outside air cirulation.

Look at mine with the open door -->

you should still Be shooting for a 16 week grow, they do veg just we can control when it stops

yes, it is possible to grow w/the door open. i use floro but i use enough that it makes it over 100 with the door closed. i leave the door open with a fan on the shelf inside pointed out at the open crack. I have 2 more fans blowing on the plants pointed toward the end the door is at. temps stay around 89. a little high i know but if i put some bowls of water around the humidity keeps the air in check a little.

when I started my grow I took the closet door off the hinges and used a sheet of 2'' thick foam board for a door, and I simply wrapped the edges with duct tape, then used a continuous strip of duct tape down the wall for a hinge.
If you make the door short, you can put a panel above for some ducting from a bath/fart fan to give you neg. air pressure & change out the air more often, also light-tight.
This will allow a renter to make a "perfect room" out of any closet or bedroom without doing any damage to the doors or walls, and can be restored to normal in about 5 min.

plz tell more about this 16 week grow , will that work with a lowryder?

I've moved the grow out of the closet, but I took my door rig with it! Now it takes up half of the bedroom it's in.

ok i hope i dont sound line an idiot but doesn't the duct tape setup make it hard to get in and out of the closet? do you have to retape all the time? i dont see in those pics how to get in and out. i dont get it...

dude put tape around the edges of the foam board to help it seal and so little pieces dont fall off . then place the board in the door way . and then run 1 piece of tape from top corner of the board to the bottom corner and then the board should now be able to open . once it is open you can then do this agian on the inside . hope that helped

....check the pics again bro, it's like LJ said; wrap the board edges to keep them intact, then one strip top to bottom for a continuouos "piano hinge" along the side you want it to swing from.
If you get the real good quality duct tape it will last for a long time, mine is going on 6 months with no fail......

ok, the second pic is sideways, sorry......the last pic shows the top of the door while it's open. (note the 2 pieces of tape at the top stuck together to form a "weather/light" seal.................here it is click on the pic..........

i see now. haha what an idiot. thanks.

no worries bro, I'm not the best photographer anyway......

yes I'm sure it will work I'm doin the same thing right now I have 5 baby's and one good size one that is in it's 5th week of flowering so I understand the 24 hour methett so I just move my bigger one into a closed space at the 12 hour mark and let the others soke up the light but the reason I'm pretty sure it will work is because my bigger one was an out side plat almost the whole time it was in veg state then I moved it inside cuz of bugs and what not then started 5 more and there all looking great and healthy so I say go for it my friend if yad like to see some pics of mine just hit me back and I'll send ya some grow strong my friend and smoke hard & good luck

btw, when I had this set up on the closet I had an intake beside the ex. you see in the pic. to bring in fresh cool air from the bedroom, I was able to keep lights on temps at or below 80, now I have an A/C vent that serves as my cooling/intake, so I vent the hot air through a carbon filter on the outside which also acts as a muffler.............................

say to all thanks for the great feed back all ideas are very good and dont think i dont appreciate all of your input i feel a lot more prepared now than berfore...say atonedloner that is a great set up similar to what i wanted to do the babies are fabulous and i bid you luck my friend keep it crack'n..to my man dimebagg thanks as well and good grow'n keep in touch love to watch the progress also are yours lowryders if not what strain and how high will you go before flowering? sounds good..totalhead looking good keep up with the jones's lol ill post some pic's in a couple of days so keep the knowledge flow'n the crystal's snow'n...
