Hey all,



I was wondering if any of you have solutions to light leaking from the bottom of closet doors. While i need it clear from obstruction to allow the intake of cool air, I cannot allow the light to flow out for obvious reasons, suspicion, wasted light, and delayed flowering.

Perhaps some one has a good plan for a maze that traps light and eradicates it or whatnot.....

thanks for any help

S2, and Smokin,

Thanks for the suggestions, but i dont need the bottom air-tight too.... so, what i did was build a baffle.... its about 13 inches high and its a rectangular box with diagonal plates on the inside that eradicate light bounching around.... but lets air travel thru like a maze. If any of you need help on making one of these, i can give it to you now, thanks to LB for the inspiration.

Is it working or not? What was the final decision? back to the drawing board is it?

I think the idea is sound as long as the flow is smooth it should work

LB, and whoever else is interested....

The baffle worked wonderfully...minus about a half-centimeter width miscalculation on my part, but it still worked like a beauty.

Air flow is still ample enough to maintain a temp of 80 and no, I MEAN NO, light comes out now. So, all in all, i would say it was a full success.

If anyone would like a plan scheme of the baffle or a pict of it, i would be more than happy to impart...

OOOKAY, folks....

Fandango asked for it, so i will provide.....

For those of you who dont know what a baffle is....

Imagine a maze, but not for a rat, for light. Light cannot bounce around absorbant surfaces for long without dying out, however, air can.

Assuming that you have a closet grow, and light leaking from the bottom of the door..... this is what your baffle should look like..... if you need help on the technicalities, ask the questions! i think the pict will explain it for ya though.

enjoy..
