Hey,

Thanks for checking out the post. I had some ideas I wanted to post before I got too excited and bought a bunch of stuff.

The Room:


A spare bedroom with a computer desk and a bed. The closet is the target. It's dimensions are: 22" deep x 62" wide x 96" tall.



This closet is going to be a vegetative and cloning closet.

Shelving:

I was going to purchase the custom shelving from Home Depot, because they're easily adjustable once assembled (in case plants grow too tall). Shelves would be 55" long by 20" deep each, height is adjustable on a 60" track.

Lighting:

Accompanied by two T8 48" florescent tubes in a 50" by 12" fixture hanging on a closet rod. I've read I should use two Daylight bulbs for the vegetative growth (please confirm I am correct here, or is a cool white soft white mix preferred) in each fixture.

Vegetative Hydroponic System:

The intent is to mimic the bubbleponic system that utilizes DWC and Drip systems built in a 10 gallon roughneck tote. However, I intend to make the advanced vegetative systems with only 4 large net pots to prevent overcrowding.

Young Clone Vegetative Hydroponic System:

Same as the aforementioned except with 12 smaller net pots.

Cloning Aeroponic System:

I saw a DIY version of this system posted on this website and was considering building this. If anyone has used it, I would love to hear your results.

The walls are painted white, so I wasn't planning on wasting my B/W plastic on this closet. However, I don't know the reflection of white paint compared to panda plastic. So, please inform me if this is a mistake with the cheaper lighting.

how many more bulbs would I need per shelf?
JM2c.......I've used floros for years keeping my bonzai wintered soooooooo....I decided to throw in a bean or two (actually bout 25 of 'em)I'm using a closet the same size and over the past 6-7 weeks, it has become quite bushy using 6 48" floros labeled "sunshine"...(Lowes) ....& I am quite pleased with my first ever grow. I know I need to add something for blooming help but so far, things are popping! I definitely have to move most to another larger area. Done this cheap too.....
