Hey all, I've been lurking for the past few days reading and researching various methods on how I'm going to go about setting up my space for growing. I've learned a ton in those 3 days, a lot more than I thought I ever knew on the subject. Hopefully I'll learn a ton more in the coming months. This also is my first indoor grow.
Ok, so onto what I'm working with here. I've got a space 36" x 58" x 72" (L/W/H respectively) and I plan on growing no more than 3 plants at a time. This space is part of a much larger walk-in closet so I'm partitioning the area. If I didn't live in a studio apt I'd use the whole thing...but I need storage .
Now, onto the variables involved here. This closet's back wall borders my neighbor's closet and the last thing I need is for her clothes to be stinking and then complain about it. The left wall borders the staircase we both use to get to our apartments, so I can't have the stairs stinking too.
If I was to get some heavy-duty black plastic and tape it all up using duct tape and foam under the edges...can I effectively stop the odor from escaping this space? The smell in my apartment isn't a problem, I'll be using a carbon filter on the exhaust port in the front.
My biggest problems are the back and left walls...I can't have the smell getting through them (and I know it does...she asked me once if I was smoking in here because her closet stunk).
Other than that, my friend has rooted clones whenever I am ready for them and I'm really excited to get back into growing. I'm just deciding on lighting right now and I have to get a few other things. I'm clearing the space as I type this so if I can get some pics I can show you all what I'm working with.
Any help is appreciated...quick hit of the sour and I'm back to the closet
