people use grow tents for other stuff too just order the tent you will be happy haha. nutrients i would go with jacks hydroponic you can grow for like a year in that space for like $100 and you will get the same or better results also jack is a general plant nutrient if your worried about shipping do not order weed specific nutrients. as far as yield how many square feet? an amazing grow would be 2oz per square foot first grow i had i did maybe .5 oz per square foot.
Thank you for replies guys.
I already ordered basic stuffs like lights , PH meters blah blah except carbon filter and nutritions/soil.
I am really worrying not sure why. Cause that's where i am going to grow.(same address) so i am worrying. After doing lot of things i got my auto seeds and lights. But can't access to it anymore. Yes i think it's fine to order nutes and carbon filter as many people use these for different things. Am i right)
Today i am going to order nutrition. I am thinking to go with soilless like coco + nutes
Seems i am going to spend a lot $$$ which is kinda expensive for me.
I am going to buy 50L cyco coco pearl (coco coir)
General Hydroponics pH Control Kit by General Hydroponics - (how long can i use this pack ? I am kinda new to this.Guess it's enough for 4 plants 4months
General Hydroponics Flora Grow, Bloom, Micro Combo Fertilizer set, - Hope i can use this for 1 session.
All of them going to cost $250 with shipping.
My target is 3 plants and least 200grams to cover up all my expense and time. ( 2 - 2.5 ounce least per plant)
Hope i can easily done it.
Also i am thinking to grow with my very cheap local store compost as well. If it works then next time i can cut all shiny nutrition cost

2 - 2.5 ounces per plant is unrealistic for your setup and your experience at growing cannabis. Buying a proper growing tent should be top on your list. A rollup wardrobe closet doesn't have reflective walls or ventilation holes. I guarantee you that your grow attempt will be a challenge with that rollup fabric wardrobe closet. Not only that, it will probably put out more smell if you are ever able to get a plant to full healthy flower stage, which I doubt you will. Grow tents are shipped in plain cardboard boxes. Will your grow space be visible to others? Is that why you want to use a wardrobe closet?

How much reflection do you need when you're growing autos?
how much reflection? you always need all walls to have reflective material maybe not in a warehouse but 1 light in a small space i would never grow without it. less light less yield i would say in a space like that you would lose 1/4 of the yield you could get with reflection. ive opened my tent and tested the ppfd on the open tent side its about half the ppfd of the reflective side.

It's not a matter of whether the plant is autoflowering. The idea is to get as much light reflectivity to the leaves as possible to get maximum growth and yields.

I only asked because I said the same thing about lining that wardrobe with something that would reflect light and someone said that since he was growing with autos he didn't need any reflection... I knew when I saw the wardrobe that he was going to need it...he would have been better off buying a tent... would have saved him some time and money

LOL No i am not rich and i can't spend $800 - 900 every month for bag of weed. This is why i am about to grow.
BTW i have got my own solutions as my country don't allow to import soil/nutrition (liquides)
So i will have to make soil (soil mix) + nutritions from local store or done my self.
Any suggestions ?

Yes. But i was going to coverup wholse closet with myler. No i have stealth room where i can lock and my family only living there and i have no kids. So me and my wife only. Since i am planning to grow only for limited time i expect some large yeilds. So far i have spend over $1100 including QB HLG 260W lights.
Now got issue only with nutritions and soil.
I may build new closet specially for growing
instead buying a tent. Ah yes if i find reliable address i will buy tent as well. Here laws are sucks.. this is why i want to do it stealth as possible. I don't worry about smell as no one lives here. Onl worrying about postal stuffs.
I decided to grow weed cause my deeler was shady and it's not good to deal with those kind of situation.THis is why i decided to grow limited time and stock it for future use. (i even post pone my travelling plans cause of that )

Mine runs 300watts at the wall turned all the way up. You should be good. I only use 160-180 in a 3ftx1.5 ft cab

This was the best thing to do to reduce heat because more efficient lights make less heat.
Install your fans to remove heat from the top of your wardrobe. You should install white plastic on the inside to help reflect light onto your plants.

And just an fyi as far as heat goes. With those led lights you got you can get away with higher temps in the cab due to no ir. When I went from hid to quantum I almost struggled to keep it warm enough at times. I turned the exhaust way down and kept my room warmer also. The plants actually liked the temp in the mid 80’s more then anything in the 70’s. You can also do things with the circulation to control temp inside a cabinet. Like if you need warmer temp point the circulation fan toward the light and turn the speed up more. If you need lower temps point the circulation fan toward the plants and turn it down on lower speed. In a small space heavy circulation will mix all the heat of the lights in the cab instead of letting it extract.
