1st GROW 1st FLOWER

So IM starting my flower on an accidental grow. If anyone would like to keep tabs or throw pointers my way feel free. I can't post pic for some reason but i will try to explain my layout. I bought a u haul box that's 20 in wide by 24 long and 4 feet tall(grand wardrobe box) i have all light leaks covered and 2 cfl's hanging from the handy closet bar and 2 more covering the sides in lamps. My only problem i have is ventilation. IM thinking of possibly just an exhaust hole since the lights don't get that hot. If that wouldn't work could i use a double cornered piece with a fan to keep light out but let air in? Also, how stinky would this be? Could a grow be done with no ventilation in the 12 hour off period but still giving it air during 12 on? Thanks to anyone

IMHO you could probably get away with an inexpensive twenty dollar Home Depot duct fan booster with those lights. You'll need to purchase a little duct work to help mount it. Probably under fifty bucks for sure. Put a small low power fan in the bottom to keep the air circulating and that's about as good as you can get under those conditions. If you want to reduce heat buildup pull the air out of the top and bring it in through the bottom.
