Welcome autogrowzs

Sounds like you're off to a good start. Have you thought about extraction? And air filtration? In order to keep the smell down. Growing in a Cupboard you're probably going to have some strong smells at some point.

Mylar probably is not your best option. It's so reflective that it can concentrate light and burn your plant. The problem is you just don't get a real even reflective surface from it. I think flat white paint is probably the best, although some people use Panda film and I've used that and I do like it.

Real successful Growers all have their environment dialed-in. That means they have the ability to control their temperature and humidity and keep those in a very narrow range. A good extraction system with a fan speed controller that allows variable controls based upon the temperature is probably the best way to maintain an even temperature in your cupboard. You will probably need a humidifier at some point and I hear good things about the ultrasonic humidifiers. It's also a good idea to have an oscillating fan blowing across the top of your plants as soon as they have 2-3 nodes on them I actually do it as soon as they get their first set of true leaves.

Cheers

Hello and congrats on your first grow, and welcome.
Seems you covered your grounds, what system you have for ventilation of the space both inside and as air renewal.
I have been told that when growing with LED you. Need to supply more Cal Mag. So it might be handy to get it.
Good luck and post some pictures as you go along

I am going to purchase a carbon filter very soon, also read about cal mag that will be my next purchase, ok so the Mylar is maybe gonna cause me problem ??? I seem to be able to get temps to be spot on, I've got them on 24/0 also

The there is a good supply of vent from the top as door doesn't go all the way up

The mylar is fine. I started out just lining my closet with it like you are doing. Grew for almost two years in it like that. There may have been better options, but you are good. Now I have a 2x4 tent inside that same closet. I just grow a couple plants at a time, so the little tent works great for me.

Ok thanks man yh I'm only doing a couple for my stash haha, got the led for £110 so all in hasn't cost much yet, hope the lights gonna be enough for four, I want to add more cfls to cover the lighter areas, was thinking 2x 35w 6500k each side of the led then switch with flower etc, but not really sure if it will be enough tbh

It's 5ft high 2ft deep 3ft wide, something I haven't seen before shocked me when I got home from work today....

The two new blue cheese have risen and are alive well one is haha,

So I'm quite confused about the other only has one baby leaf forgot name haha but looks like something's ate it it's been chopped of or something all I know is I didn't do it haha......

So kinda thinking she's gonna struggle what do I do pull it or let it be ? Maybe someone has had this happen to them before seems a waste to just chuck her
