New to site and never grown. Live in legal state that has not yet recreationalized. Getting materials and putting further thought into set-up to get the most out of space(s). Would appreciate some input.

My space is 99"(8'-4") High, 79" (6'-6") Long, 29-1/2" (2'-6") Wide.
The space is a closet and at the end is a window that I can use for ventilation, if needed ect.
What I envision is this long closet space to be the flowering room with 3 or 4 plants. And to have a separate "grow tent" (maybe 4x4 or larger) outside the closet in the spare bedroom to keep a 4 or 5 plants in vegetation to be ready once I've harvested plants out of the closet flowering room.


Grow Lights: (2) Mars Hydro Reflectors Series 144, coverage: 2'x4'
Medium: Fox Farm soils and nutrients

*Ordered Fems and Auto's, Not sure what I'm going grow first.



Q's Q's Q's
1.) What other forms of supplemental light could could I utilize in the long closet to get light at the body of the plant? I Ideally I'd like to set up one light at the end of closet or at beginning attached to closets interior side to get more light coverage shining around the body of the plants.
2.) Any question or comments on the width of room and the ability of my plants to grow in the "narrow space" ? Any suggestions of what methods or materials I should use in order to train or make my plants thrive in this space?
3.) Will need another light for vegetation room. Any suggestions on what I could use here for light? I am open to another LED or alternative.

Thats all Q's right now. I'll try to update as the Q's come to me. Your help is appreciated.

Don't worry about the body of the plant (the stem?); only the leaves collect light. Basically, put as much light in as money and space will allow. When the plants get big you are going to have a hard time getting to the far one, but it is what it is. LED is great for vegging, also T5's.

Samsung has some kick ass strips for side lighting. Here is a couple links.
