New Grow Setup - No Money Version.

[NiceNEasy]

This is the first time I've started growing in a year or so. The last times didn't go too well. Cash / Space / Smells, and the things preventing me from having the setup I wanted. Well, things haven't changed much, but with weed being almost non-existant in our area at the moment, I'm starting up again. Here we go...

Converted half of an old wardrobe. Space: 15"W x 15"D x 32"H. I hope to get two small plants into this space. (Going to 12/12 after 2 weeks veg).

1 x 125w Red Spec Envriolight - From previous grow. (No cash to buy more). (£40)
1 x Crappy little fan for air flow (but will be getting more). (£3)
1 x Crappy Solar fan - Trying to upgrade. (£5 from kit)
1 x 100MG ELECTRONIC OZONIZER (for smells) (£25 from ebay).
4 x Female Grapefruit seeds (£15 potseeds.co.uk)
1 x Digital Timer (That won't keep blowing the lights - From previous grow) (£10).
1m Mylar Foil (Bought previously ebay) (£3).

1st Pic - Empty Wardrobe (Small left side to be converted).
2nd Pic - Foiled Wardrobe (Mylar covering)
3rd Pic - Completed Wardrobe (Still to sort fans).
4th Pic - Closer shot of Solar fan (Not much output from this, but hoping it will help cool the bulb down. I am hoping to upgrade this as after all once you've bought the goods, there's no future costs).

Issues:

100MG ELECTRONIC OZONIZER. Not used this before, but word is it'll do the job for covering the smell of a couple of small plants. Also bought Grapefruit seeds as they don't smell as bad. (Also bought Female seeds as I've not got the time / space to be growing and dumping males)

Getting pretty hot in there even after a couple of test hours. 40c after testing for 1 hour - no fans on.

Light escaping from the wardrobe. Mainly the door, but there a small hole on the side. I intend to get some rubber covering for this.

Ok, so research shows that a good basic growing temp is between 76-78 degrees Faren, and maybe as much as 83 in some cases.

Take 80 Faren as the max (27c).
Curr 104 Faren (40c).

Drop: 24 Faren (13c). Any Ideas? - Cheap Ones.

Looks nice and stealthy. If you get the temps down okay, I think that'll work great! ;)

Take the door off and hang a curtain/dark material over the front. Air can still move freely then. Best way to keep temperature down is to keep the air moving.. fresh in, stale out all the time.

Yeah, I'm going to cut some holes in the side and cover them for light(Ambient ducting I think it's called), and have a fan at the bottom to draw in new air. The Ozonizer should keep the smell down, and hopefully I can use the Solar fan to push air out at the top.

My cab runs slighty Hotter than 30C Somtimes. And I use Cfls. My Plants seem decent not Optimal I bet but I think tehre ok Chekc it out. I made my intake and outtake holes bigger and it helped alot/.

so grow 2-3 plants and hope for a female and keep one

I'll only be using female seeds on this. Tried before and only got stung with a few males - complete waste of time. Also going to flower early due to the space issue. Thanks for the help by the way.
