Welcome all, First I have constructed a box in my closet (its actually a closet threw another closet). The box is 6' tall and the base is 3' by 3'. so its a sizable box. The walls are screwed into a frame of 2 by 4s. The walls are made of 1" thick particle board. I have painted the interior with white reflective rubberized roof paint. and wood caulked the small gaps in it to try and make it more of a seal. On the outside of 3 of the walls i have big pieces of styrofoam like insulation. and the 4th wall is the door which is only a to size piece of the same insulation. no particle board on the door.
I have 1 90watt led 1 HID 90watt and 1 250 watt infrared? (GE is the brand i dont know what there called they are bulbs found in this 30 year old house from when it was built) The closet it is in is basically exposed to outside temp, not wind or weather tho. Where i live gets real fucking cold well below 0 and im worried bout the plants. So far the records of temp i have are when its 50ish outside it stays above 80. when its 30 out it stays about 61-75 degrees. I will post pics soon. I was thinking more lights or last resort a space heater but that would require more montering for me to have a space heater running (i dont trust them damn space heaters)
Im looking for advice or insulation techniques or someone to tell me to get my plants outa there before it gets to cold or something last thing i want is to murder my girls because its going to be a long winter.
