I hear mixed reviews about growing in closets. I guess because people have their clothes and other belongings in there as well.
This is MY closet. For all of you seasoned vets out there, what do you think about this working? Any tips or tweaks to MAKE it work?
The only thing I can see as a problem is sufficient FAE. I only have one ceiling fan in the house (in the dining room) and a high powered fan may dry them out when fruiting.
1)I have a rack for my 6500k dual shop light fixture

2)I have shelves

3)Its also where I store all of mycology supplies

4)It's hidden
I have central air in the house, the room the closet is in (my room) has a vent to circulate air, but I don't know what i'd do with the light fixture.

Does anybody have an idea for a good organized setup for fruiting that covers all basis? In the future ill have numerous tubs, so that has to be a factor in this too.

Thanks for any help, im kind of stumped.
Cheers

Ok as far as your light goes... does it have a ballast thing? I can't see one in the picture. You might want to get a reptile style light like this
 You can get a ballast that has screw notches in it and you can hang the light from the wall or from the bottom side of a shelf in your closet like this:
 As far as air flow goes go to Walmart. They have these tiny little fan that look about the size of the fan your computer uses. Get a tiny tiny fan and stick it in the closet. Mount the fan to the top of your closet and turn it on. Make sure the fan is not pointing directly at your tubs though. I did that with a little fan when I was growing in a closet and it worked well.
Obviously a light timer is going to be your friend. You will need to mist your tubs about 3x a day. That was enough for my tubs anyways, early morning, when I got off work, and bed time. Growing in a closet can be done quite well. If you have any questions feel free to me.

If the only thing you can see as a problem is sufficient FAE, that's a big problem. Do you own the house? I've grown in closets twice over the years. Never with monotubs. 1st time was a bunch of tubs pf style with humidifiers. Worked great. 2nd time I waterproofed and tiled the floors, walls ,and ceiling. Turned the closet into basically a huge tub and cased grain on trays on shelves. I suppose one mono will be alright in there. I wouldn't fill the closet up with tubs though as fae is crucial.
