Cooling in an apartment closet
Ok, I know that growing in an apartment is risky as hell, but let's face it, what choice do I have (aside from gurrilla, and when its 110 here in the summer, thats far from ideal).
In any event, I have a grow room, in my closet that measures approx 51" in width by 2.5' deep. It is seperated into two sides (flowering, veg) both with 2 24" el cheapo floro lights. (one side has better bulbs (the ones that are pinkish...which brings up the question of which side should those be on)). On the top of the room, approx 2' from the celing, is a shelf where i have seedlings and clones. There, I have a floroescent grow light (walmart generic) and a CFL with a huge reflector. Each side currently has 1 plant, but the capacity for 2 - 3
If I leave the closet door open, the flowering side and the veg side stay approx 83F. If I close it, it quickly skyrockets to about 93F. I obvoiusly cannot create any holes in the walls, nor can I do too much for ventalation (I would open the door several times during the day for this).
What would you guys suggest I do for the temperature? As it stands now, with the door open, the room in which the closet is located becomes a warm 83.9F even with the central AC set to 77F. I have 4 clip fans positioned on the shelf pointing towards the plants for air circulation, but that is all i have at the moment.
On the floor of the closet, I have a O3 generator that pushes cooler air up to the room, but evidently not enuf.
Size is very important, as is, albeit to a lesser extent, cost and noise problems. Thanks in advance.
PS: I attached 2 diagrams to help show the layout that I am working with.
