Hello. Im new to both this forum and gardening at all. I am going all in on stealth, and i dont know where to start. I will live in a 200 feet rental aparment which non-smokers will visit, stealth is everything on this one! It can't smell at all, nor may you hear the fan.
I will grow northern lights in soil.
The closet will be about 2 x 2 feet floor, sorry for not showing depth in the pictures... Also, in the drawing i used t8's which are a bit thicker than t5's.
Reasons why i use vertical fluorescent tubes:
With less heat i can have a silent fan. And as they are vertical i can make sure the plants get light all over. I believe this will be the most efficiant use of space.
Problems with my usage of the vertical fluoros is that the plants will have to grow very tall (3 feet) in the flowering stage to make use of all light. I am hoping that the northern light is a tall growing strain (without topping out the closet).
Another problem with the vertical tubes is that they will reach the floor thus easely short circuiting when i water the plants. Im hoping on getting some real help on this one.
The tubes will also be a obstacle when watering. Im solving this by using a long funnel when watering.
I think about using several lighttrap/ventilation between grow- and flower room as this will minimize cost of space.
Please ask, or comment. I need all the help i can get!
