How To Convert your Closet Door

hole cutter on a drill
a jig saw
an inline fan, i use 10in vortex 790 cubic foor per minute.
expanding insulation foam in a spray can. "for use on gaps 1 in or bigger"
shur tape (metal duscting tape)
flexible ducting. this is *very* important to avoid tears and leaks.
Cut the 10inch hole in the top portion of the door. You want the hole nearer the side of the door with the hinge.
Run the flexible ducting through. With a sharpie mark where the door and the tubing line up with the door open. Now with a sharpie mark where the door and tubing line up with the door closed.
Prop your door open to about 90 degrees. Use the shur tape to hold the ducting in place on the door. Leave only a couple of small spaces to spray insulation between the gaps between the door and ducting.
You will probably loose some mobility in your door as a result, but mine opens about 70 degrees.
Buy 2 vents from your hardware store and cut a hole in the lower half of the door for intake. attach vents.
Remember the air pushes out and is passive intake.
Hook up the fan and carbon filter inside your grow room and you are good to go.
You can ventilate directly into your room and the smell will be significantly reduced.
Optimally you would run ducting into an attic or to a window and send it outside.
Also, some people add air fresheners to the out vent so it smells like linen.
I also suggest running everything through the door so you don't damage the rental property. I purchased my own door for about $30. It is always better not to piss off the land lord, especially if a small investment can avoid problems.
I hope it helps.
