I'm growing in my closet..
Current grow space is:
3ft 2in tall
2ft 5in wide
2ft deep.
---
I have black plastic (trashbag) to keep the light from shining out of the cracks in the closet..
I leave a big space open for ventilation which you can see in the picture, I also have a fan inside..

---
In this space would I be able to grow successfully without heat issues?
---
Heres what I'm planning on using.
$69.75 HTGSupply - 150w HPS: http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=53025
$70.00 Cooltube Reflector: http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=48137
---
QUESTIONS: Do I have to set-up an in Inline Cooling system to the cooltube, or can i just run ducting or something.

your pics show you dont hav much room smells would def b a problem as it flowers but you can purchase a small fan with inbuilt carbon filter that would deal with that. air cooled would mean you need a fan ducting and filter set up but you dont space for that a bionair fan might b best as it wont cramp up your space

First off search this site for a $20 150w hps, and search ebay for a $20 bake-a-round tube and save yourself a lot of money. For a cooltube you need an inline fan, but you could probably get away without a cooltube and just an exhaust fan. that space is fine to flower in you dont need lowryders, either lst them or flower small clones. Heres some examples of what you can do in small spaces

for the $140 that would cost, i would get a 2' x 2' piece of wood and put as many t5 flouro tubes on it as you could (maybe t8s in a crunch)... i think they would create a more uniform heat that would be easier to deal with, also, you would probably get way more light that way. then - hang that piece of wood in the top of the box and lower/raise it as you need... the t5s are pretty low profile.

You might get more light coverage with tubes but i dont think you will beat the intensity(lumens) of the hps
