There are many things you need to consider while starting out— from selecting a medium…
Today our buds from UptownGrowLab are going to show you how to prepare and build a small closet grow room.
The space we have chosen for our closet grow room is small. The area for the closet grow is about 24 inches by 24 inches by about 36 inches high. We lined the floor of the closet grow with some plastic bags to protect the floor from excess water or moisture. You can be more elaborate with plastic trays or saucers but this is the simplest protection.

This particular closet grow room has a power cord for the light, in the back, which is plugged into an outlet several feet away. The light’s power cord will ultimately have a digital timer
We will be using a small LED grow light
To construct the closet grow room we cut the PVC into seven pieces. Four 13 inch pieces were used for the feet. Two 36 inch pieces were used for vertical support. And we used one 26 inch piece for the horizontal support.
First we’ll connect all the pieces and check to see if it fits in the closet grow room space. You can see where I used the elbow and t-couplings to connect it all together. I may have to cut a few inches off the vertical supports but we’ll try it and see if it can fit. If not we will take a few inches off the PVC. Yes it was too big. After removing a few extra inches of piping the support structure fit the closet grow room perfectly.
Next we install the light. We are using an XtremeLED grow light. I read about these in Ed Rosenthal’s ‘Marijuana Grower’s Handbook
We chose LED lights instead of a T5 or CFL fixture because we had it on hand and didn’t have to spend more money. A bonus is that this LED light produces much less heat than fluorescent bulbs

We put in eight clones and 10 seeds in peat pucks. The first set of clones didn’t manage the trip from cloner to closet very well. The new clones were planted in dirt before being moved to the closet location and seem to be in better shape.
There is also a period of adjustment for the clones which, with the LED, is a bit harder for them as they were under CFLs and HPS lights in the cloners.
