G'day all.

Im a novice grower, but here goes.

This is about my "grow op" inside a 6 foot high, 3 foot wide, and 1 and a half foot thick zip up closet. The two CFL lights I use are 42W and 55W. They're small but they get the job done well. Have a heater/fan to the right of the plant, mostly on fan due to the heat. The nutes I use are Hyponex Fish Emulsion ( excellent for plant growth ) and a couple drops of Schultz Plant Food.

My plant just entered flowering 4 days ago ( sorry I didn't start from the beginning ). I had 3 plants but pulled two due to space issues. Also, im growing mids (only seeds I could get my hands on).

These are the nutes I use.

Me and my roommate decided to cut the bigger leaves off to get more light on lower parts of the plant.

Will update every couple days.
Enjoy! :leaf:

Throwing up an update around 12 tonight, right before lights out.

Added a new light, 65W 2700k CFL to help flowering. Pics up later.

Comments are allowed and will take any advice. Enjoy.

Dude!!!! I'm using the exact same zip up closet on my grow (well 2 of em').... Its my third time around. I thought it was a damn creative idea and I hadn't seen it on this site yet.... Maybe it's on another site? But yea... Wow i didn't think i'd see anything so similar....

Have you taken any light proofing precautions on this because mine was anything but light proof... What I did though was get little velcro tabs and put em up on the clear part then I draped some black plastic all the way around, ill try and post some pic's later. how many lights you running? what about fans?

Right now, I only have 2 dark bed sheets covering it up. Im pretty low on cash so I use what I got around the house. Im running two lights, one 55w and one 65w 2700k. I do have a small fan at the bottom blowing up toward the lights. I also open it up very couple hours to get new air in.

Heres the new light I put in today.
