Keeping light out of my closet
    #7482861 - 10/03/07 09:36 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Ok, so I am not new to MJ, but this is my first attempt indoors. I have a Hydrofarm 125W CFL in a 7.5 sq ft space. I have 72 CF and a exhaust fan that is 80 CFM. The closet is flat white. I have 16 square pots that are 5 inches wide and 5.5 inches deep.

That being said, I have a 1 inch gap under the door. Any ideas on how to allow air flow into the grow space while excluding the light?

A shutter? Is that what you are saying? How would that work?

I was thinking of using some PVC to allow air in and blocking of the rest with some sot of curtain in the closet.

I guess this is a really common dilemma, but I'm stuck.

If you are really worried about the light, use the pvc pipe and put a couple of elbows in it to deflect the light.:stoned:

dryer vent hoses http://www.doityourself.com/icat/5ft8ftdryerhose and light leaks on an indoor grow WILL cause stress induced hermies.

I did assume light leaks were very bad. I have to agree with the "bible" on this one.

Oppression- A 4 inch tube will not fit under the door. I have 4 inch flex aluminum ducting ran for my exhaust with several feet left over.

The exhaust should be able to pull a current through some sort of curtain, right? Visqueen maybe?
