My stealth closet grow tent plans

I'm looking to ring in the new year with some bud, hopefully ready before 4/20! I've lurked on here for a while doing my research and only recently registered an account to see all of your girls and their frosty buds and I think I'm ready to prepare for my first grow, I would like some suggestions with my tent plans.

I was thinking about a 2x4x5 grow tent, 400 watt switchable MH+HPS hood + ballast unit (has 4" ventilation port, will attach fan + ducting, see pic for details), suspended from the top of the tent by light hood yo-yos, a 5 gallon bucket single plant DWC kit, 4"/6" fan for output + 4/16 pound carbon filter, respectively. (undecided, quite a price hike between 4" and 6" inline fans!)

Will I be alright without an intake fan? Is 4" for output enough? I don't imagine the smell of one plant to be too bad, and if it is, I'll have an ozone generator as a last resort (probably an ozone jr, I don't want to risk my health or the health of my plants but if it means not getting caught I'll do it. I live in a duplex, btw.) and some ONA jel in case power goes out for an extended period of time.

I added a crudely drawn pic to the bottom to help visualize. Thanks for the help guys. :)

EDIT: OH and also I need some suggestions for some strains to try out!

everything looksgood and if you plan on not using a inyake fan make sure the exhaust is strong enough for a passive intake and youll be fine..

I guess I better go with the 6" inline fan then, I also forgot to mention that I was gonna add some clip-on fans for stem strength. How many would I need? 1? 2?

This may make the closet too hot as you appear to be exhausting and intaking from the closed closet, so there is no "fresh" air coming in, may need to leave the closet door cracked or cut a hole if possible. Also vented doors would do the trick, but then you have to worry about light escape.

Do you not see a hole at the bottom for intake.Eventho he is not using a fan for it it can still bring air in if he has a strong extractor fan.

Yeah I was planning to crack the closet depending on what temps I was getting from inside the tent and just play with it from there on out, have a sweet spot.
