    Default Light leak

    So i used to grow in a tent but am now growin in a small room, i need some help with ideas to stop this light leak, i didn’t realise how bad it was until i got my light on and its lighting the landing lol.

    Im growin autos so got light on 24/7 until i fix this, am thinking of getting some weather stripping and putting a blackout curtain on the inside.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    Also another question i have is when i turn my exhaust fan on will the air be sucking though all the gaps and would that make a noise? I dont have my fan set up yet but will have soon ish

    Thanks

    Just hang something off the door frame that’ll stop the light leak simples

    Happy growing

    Try draught excluders m8. I had them on my old drobe. Worked a treat. I then cut up my ex burds black dress n tacked it the bottom of the inside. So it flapped down bottom of door n rested on the ground.

    N yes, the extraction fan should suck air through the gaps. Giving you a little passive intake. Which is the least you should hope for.

    Are you worried about someone else seeing the leaks? If not, it will be find. My upstairs closet has leaks like that, but don't worry about any seeing them but me, so it doesn't matter much.

    You can cut the sides of A card board box up, and tape strips around the door. good luck and happy growing.

    Put this in the door jambs
