i was thinking about this for a while.. and i've finially decieded to build a secret room in my house after this summer.. i will have a secret enterance under a dresser and have the room about 5'x7' and 8'high.... i will have a growbox at one end of the room that's about 4' tall 5' wide and 2'6" deep.. i will have mothers and clones in there all year..

i mainly grow outdoors in the summer time and never really have a place to dry the crop.. all i usually do is tie a couple tarps to a tree frame and let them hang.. i thought of this room idea because then i could let them dry slower without the chance of mold.. i would have a dehumidifier and a small fan in the room..

what i was wondering was if i had the humidity at about 60% and the temperature at about 60 degrees F would my plants in the veg chamber be affected alot.. i'm only using 4' floros in the box.. i'll have about 4-5 fixtures of 2 bulbs in the box at the one time.. also if anyone has any sudgestions of things i could do please comment..

with regards to the temperature, 60 is on the cooler side especially being the day temperatures . but weed is a weed, hardy. just make sure you correct the watering cycle, by less heat there will be less evaporation. if "F-ing Duh"is what your saying, i'm sorry.

nice setup or plans, make sure you pay good attention to ventilation. most important take rip and release.

yeah thanks.. the watering would be doable.. but is it a good sixe space to keep some moms and some other small plants for a year? provided that thay have enough space for roots.. is it going to be enough light?

what type are the florescent? t-12, t-8.. and what type of bulbs 0000k? watts don't exactly correlate with lumens, however can provide a good estimate. what the important thing is lumens per square foot.
