ok the plants that i have been vegging for 5 weeks or so i wanna start flowering and i have 20 more that are maybe 1 week old and like 15 or so germinating .....the ones that are 5 weeks old i want to start flowering next week ok heres the dilemma i just setup a grow closet its 4x5x10 so any ideas on how to separate the vegging and flowering plants and still contain them in the same closet ....also for the walls im using sunshades like you put in the window of your car they are quite reflective and i found them at the dollar store for 3 bucks each anynoe ever used these?

You have a height of 10', is that right? If so, that's ample room to have separate veg and flower compartments. You would need to install a shelf, I'd say about 2-3' from the bottom. Don't know what lights you are using but for vegging, 2-3' should be enough for CLFs or MH. The remaining 7-8' on top would give you ample room to flower. If you flower at about 12"-18" and the plant even triples in height, you'd still have enough room. Remember you need space to install your lights and fans, odor-removal apparatus, etc. Hope this helps.

Better then sunshades get some cheap wrapping paper. The foil kind with the shiney silver side that is water proof. It's mylar but way cheaper. Get it at the dollar store.

well the height is 10 foot but it also poses a problem cause i have a l shape shelf about 3 feet from the ceiling that im going to use for clones and also having compartments stacked is not an option really cause my closet doors opens in not out so if i did in fact do it that way i would lose alot of space that i could have plants. i have looked at this for about 2 hrs now and not came up with anything that would work where i can utilize all the sapce i have i would like to have 10 plants at least in each stage ..........as far as lighting i have about 20 cfls and 8 4ft high outputs but plan to get a couple hps before i start flowering

Sounds like you need a new growbox. I'm assuming you are in the US or Canada. Visit a Target and they sell a cupboard that's about 7' tall for about $50. When you assemble it, only install one shelf. Videoman has an excellent link on how to customize this very cupboard to grow-in. My next grow, I will be looking at this option myself.

Here's a pic and link. Good luck.
