Here's some nice pics of 2 flowering, they're almost ready was first run not much yield but learning experience to say at the least. 3 in veg chamber will be moved to flower chamber when I harvest the 2 plants. Will be transplanting them into bigger pots and still run veg hours in flower chamber till plants are where I want them to be. Will be remodeling my box a tad and making the veg chamber smaller and flower chamber bigger. Will be adding 1 more light to each side a full spectrum e27 led not sure which brand and wattage yet. Will be eliminating the storage compartment to make more height for veg side and hopefully help keep heat down. Will be installing adjustable wire shelving in veg and possibly flower side to have plants close enough to lights at all times. But without further ado just some good looking pics on the way

Thank you I appreciate it So a few questions if anyone has any answers and Input I was under the impression plants would at least double growth from beginning of flowering till the end and my plants grew like Eight inches. And also my plants are lst'd but they're lil over a foot tall how tall do I need for around a ounce per plant?
 
Not the best picture had to go to work but my box has quadruple the room now will update more when I get home

Not done yet needs a little more work atm lights are mounted and hooked up to their timers everything seems to be in working order plenty of room now in veg and flower chamber if you see what I started with I've definitely upgraded quite a bit over these last couple months. I've added 1 more light to each side for now 1 2700k 11 watt 800 lumens for flowering chamber and a 10 watt 800 lumen 5500k for veg so I'm running 9 leds in flower chamber 2 are 5500k daylight bulbs rest are 2700k soft white and veg chamber is running 4 leds 5500k bulbs still need to do something for air flow and seals on all the trim for light proof wouldn't imagine the steal I got on this thing and my yields will only improve with more space.

No its a storage pantry I bought for 30 bucks off Craigslist and it's 200 brand new I looked so hell of deal and was already built just had to get it in my house and then my tiny ass room lol. But it's 4 ft wide 2 ft deep and 6 1/2 ft roughly I lost my tape measure so these are approximate measures each chamber on bottom is 2 ft wide n deep n roughly 4 ft tall one has a adjustable shelf that's veg side top chamber is roughly 2 1/2 ft high 4 ft wide 2 ft deep

That is a good deal. Nice size too.

With keeping mothers and veging on one side and flowering on the other. You can grow all the smoke you will ever need.
