Well I have been working to dial in the climate of my flower room and have it working nicely so now need to turn my attention to my nursery/veg closet.
What I have is a 2' x 2.5' x7' closet that I have seperated into 2 areas 2 x 2.5 x 3.5 . For light on each shelf I have a Brightwing reflector with 150w 6500k cfl bulbs and a 6 inch fan for circulation . What I am having a problem with is temp in this room I know for seedlings and clones it should be a bit warmer and a bit higher humidity but I am having troubles keeping the light sealed into the closet so it wont affect the flower room ,and keeping temp and humidity decent.
So far I have found with the current ventilation in the closet the temps are around 85 and humidity is 65% for starting seedling and giving them 2-3 weeks in here or rooting clones then giving them an addition 2 weeks of veg should I try and get the temperature down more or will this be okay as long as I open the door whenever its possible to do so? If I keep the door open when the hps is on the temps throught the entire room and closet are 78 degree's with a rh of 40% and at night the temp drops to 65 with a rh of 55%-60%rh.
So basically will this work well enough if I open the door when possible or should I work on improving the ventilation some more possibly installing a 50cfm bathroom fan in the top and having it vent into the flower room?
