Hi Folks,
This is my first post here, like to share some of experiences and my plan to build indoor grow closet.
Just a quick background, I used to be a heavy smoker over 10 years ago, stopped it, i actually couldn't hear the word w33d without need to puke
until few months ago i had a chance to smoke medical grade and felt really good.
A month ago I gotmyself 10g's of medical weed, smoked it slowly and decided that If i want to smoke I better grow my own stuff without involving anyone in RL.
So i started to learn by myself the whole growing indoor concept, photosynthesis, strains etc... and came up with the following plan:
I plan to build an indoor growing closet and would like to hear some tips and comments from you guys
So basically i plan to put the water can on the bottom of the rack in a shelve (30cm~) and on top of it a shelve with the pots.
install the LED's, glue the reflector, make sure that everything is sealed and there's no light leakage including extra rubber sealing for the doors
drill a cup hole for air intake and exhaust.
(I want everything to be inside the closet, hidden and with minimal noise...)
I do still some help with the following topics:
So... that's my plan if you guys have any comments/ideas i'll be very glad to hear.

- FAMI FAA14 Metal Closet - Netto size 995/500/1850mm WDH
- Exhaust: S&P TD250 SILENT (24db) + CanLite Carbon filter 300 or Phresh Filter 400
- 600W LED (540w real) 11-band 630nm:660nm:610nm:585nm:460nm: 430nm:380nm:740nm: 6500k:12000K:14000K=2:3:1:1:2:1:1:1:1:1:1
- Reflector - Astro Diamond (For the inner closet) 7sq/m
- DIY SCROG Net
- Intake: air grill with filter (60x60?) or 200m rounded vent
- AirPot 15L (3 units) 31.5cm
- Independent watering system - two options:
- Claber Oasis self watering - it's cool but i don't think that constant slow dripping is good
- DIY water pump with digital timer, need to be reallly slow pump with computer that can trigger it per minute - i believe that a 2l per pot each 3 days should be enough.
So basically i plan to put the water can on the bottom of the rack in a shelve (30cm~) and on top of it a shelve with the pots.
install the LED's, glue the reflector, make sure that everything is sealed and there's no light leakage including extra rubber sealing for the doors

I do still some help with the following topics:
- Sensors - soil moisture sensor, PH, temp+humid?
- Acoustic sealing?
- Is there a safe light to work with during night hours, I don't want to mess up the grow room if i need to do maintenance at night.
- recommended soil? something generic/DIY
- Feeding - http://www.powderfeeding.ch/store/short-flowering.html should be good enough?
- light distance guidelines - I've seen many threads and none are really clear
So... that's my plan if you guys have any comments/ideas i'll be very glad to hear.
