Hey

Here's my plan. Any feedback in appreciated.

Room
-upper shelf of a bedroom closet
-already painted flat white
-4.5 Feet (length) x 2 Feet (depth) x 2.3 Feet (height)
-my only source of ventilation is a window right beside the closet
-upper shelf sealed with plastic tarp like sheeting
-I have hooks and bungie ties to secure sheeting
-there is no concern with outside light ruining light cycles
-I have a thermometer and humidity indicator ready to install in the closet.

Lights (this is where I'm most unsure about)
-2 UVA heat and light source bulbs for reptile enviorment
-100 Watt each
-I think they are fluorescent, not sure.
-The bulbs will go into 2 separate lamps also from the same retail store
-The lights will hang from the ceiling of the closet on chains to easily adjust height

Plants
-planning to buy from Nirvana Shop
-2-3 plants
-In planting pots

Soil
-Sunshire Mix 4 or 7

Water
-bottled water
-the pots will sit in a plastic basin at is 2.5 inches tall to collect drainage to prevent drowning the plants
-I have tubing to collect drainage
-the tube will drain into a large bucket sitting at the bottom of the closet

Clones
-once the time comes to make clones, I have a 25L(I think) fish tank to house the clones which will sit beside the mothers


THANKS!:peace:

You need different lights, heat lamps tend to kill young plants. Look for Metal Halide, High pressure Sodium, CFL or fluoro.

Thanks NoDrama. My second thought was using 2 40W 1900 Lumens fluro tubes. They also say plant growing on the box. Are these lights enough juice given the space? Or would I need 4 instead of 2?
