lol thats quite a bit of juice and heat for a walk in closet.... no room to work, unless youre gonna be rolling tables in and out... but even then the most you would could need is 4k in an 8x8, to get 1 light over each 4x4 of space...

trash the portable AC's and get wall units and build a box on the back of them. i've done both and have friends who have done both and hands down window unit with a box on the back provide much more cooling power per btu! FYI my 10k btu portable could not keep up with 3k and it barely handled 2k in a non sealed room.

True, too much light isnt a bad thing. They are just saying its not needed. Save some money and dont over do it.

Untrue. You can have too much light. It saturates your plants and bleaches the pigment in the skin of leaves and stems. A little research would show you this..

As for 5 x 1000's in a 8 x 8 space. If you mean Meters rather than foot then i would say yes that would fit the space. If its foot then you kidding yourself and making yourself look silly on a web site full of pro growers and hobbyists.

Good luck..


Research research research......
