Skylight and HPS?

[FlowerPower]

gidday fellas, After much studying ive decided to build and indoor hydro setup, and was wondering if it is worth me fitting some clear plastic to the flat roof. I have a 400watta which would have to be shaded in a way not to let to much light out through the skylight, I dont really want to have to cover it each night. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

you can probably build a shitty wodden frame and cover it in a light proof material :thumbsup or simply cover up the skylight :scratchin

Yeah, cover the skylight, you want total control of the photoperiod, so even if you have to tape up the opening with gaffa tape to lightproof it, I'd do it.

you would also want to black out the skylight for security purposes.

 

Not getting busted means not being noticed, and having light beaming out of your skylight at night will be noticeable no matter how you position the shade.

ever see the movie "Saving Grace" ?? if not, this old lady ends up growing pot to save her house and about 1/2 way into the movie the local pub goes out at like 9pm every night to watch her greenhouse light up , looks like the light u would see in a movie about god but coming from her greenhouse

 

im pretty sure thats something u dont want on a smaller scale, i reckon even if its like 1/100th as bad as graces from the movie u will get done in a week :thumbdown
