Ventilation

[WaTzRelLyGoOd]

i was wondering what the best way is to get some ventilation in a small closet with a 400 watt hps i have them in my bigger closet which has way to much room and i need the space. now but its too hott and im trying to cool them down i had to water everday when they were in 2 gallon pots but not as much when there in 5 now. The problem is i can just be cutting wholes and things since its in a apartment. and there isnt a window anywhere near it Anyone have any suggestions so i can the proper ventilation that my bitches need. thanks to help. 1st time hps grow. never had to worry about heat with florescents.

i use inline duct fans and passive intakes now but that requires holes being drilled..i dont use my closet, but if i did id cut a holes in the door because moblie home doors are only like 30 bucks

Take that door off and put up a cheap luan hollow core door, cut a hole in the top for exhaust and near bottom for intake air. While at hardware store get a pair of louvered vent covers and if they have them, a custom house filter kit that comes with a carbon sheet and a green batting sheet that you can cut the size of the covers. That will help with residual odor and light leakage but you really should invest in a cool tube/carbon filter and inline fan to best eliminate many issues from heat, odor and lack of fresh air. Your neighbors will most certainly smell your girls without odor control even a mild danky.

I had this problem. What I did was bought some flexible ducting and hard ducting and ran the duct from the grow box to the closet. In the closet I cut a 3 inch hole in the roof, in a out of site spot, and ran the duct into the attic of the apt. The i climbed in the attic and found the bathroom vent. The bathroom vent runs from the b-room to a vent on the roof. The bathroom has a vent fan with a 3 inch duct to the roof vent. I then attached my 3 inch grow box duct to the roof vent, using some of the b-room duct. I put a booster fan in, towards the end of the run to help with flow. So any smell ends up on the roof, blown away.

I saved the drywall hole I cut out of the roof in the closet. When I moved out I put the piece back in, and you could not even tell there had been a hole, and then i reconnected the bathroom vent.

good luck
