you're absolutely gonna need some ventilation in your cabinet, maybe a
pc fan or two might be enough, or maybe not.
as to the heat of the lights, hold your hand up to the bulb, when your hand
starts to feel hot, that's too close for your plants.
and don't take it personal if no-one has responded yet, you're new here so
people don't know you yet and so don't know if you're gonna be around in a
week or so. you'd be surprised at how many noob's lose interest.
anyway, just keep doing what you're doing and just keep posting, with plenty
of pics, and people will soon come around.
in truth, they're already here, they came by, saw where you're at, saw you
didn't need any immediate help and so they moved on to help others more
in need.
believe me, there are many experienced growers here who put in a tremendous
amount of time helping people so don't be offended, try instead to relax,
knowing that when you really need them, they will be there for you too.
