Hi everybody, this is my first post ever but i have been combing through this site for quite some time now; and this site definitely has the best collection of minds over any other site. I have just recently finished my first harvest using cfl's and i definitely want to upgrade to HID's.

I have a 4Wx4Lx8H empty closet and was planning on using a 600w hps, soil grow, but i am having a hard time figuring out how i want to setup the ventilation. It is located in the front hall of an apartment without and windows nearby. I wouldnt mind making a couple holes in the door, so would a cool tube setup, running the intake and outake to the door be enough or will i need something more? and what kind of fans would u recommend? Keep in mind that i only have about $850 to perfect this setup.

Thank You to everyone in advance :mrgreen:

Either a squirrel cage fan through the doorknob hole and get some ONA to get rid of the smell, or pick up a hollow core door from home depot around $50.? and then cut some holes in the top of the door and get some inline fans and carbon filters look at these combos 6" Carbon Inline Fan Air Filter Scrubber ODORSOK COMBO - eBay (item 370060815786 end time Jun-21-08 19:28:15 PDT)

or check out High Tech Garden Supply and look at their ventilation section.
Your closet has about 384 cubic feet so if you kept the combo from ebay on constantly that was positioned on the top of the door you could passive vent the bottom of the door with some computer fans. Plus if you used a cool mist humidifier from walmart and placed it near the bottom of the door you could get some cold air and water moving into the closet from the outside of it.
