Ideas for setup

I need a lot of advice. My setup as of now is 4x 63 watt cfl's 2700k 3900 lumens a piece. I want to turn my closet into a grow room. I'm tired of hanging a couple of blankets in the corner with the door open to let cool air in. I have two nirvana short riders. I would like to be able to keep my closet closed all the time and jut open to vent fresh air every so often. I live in a trailer so I could tie into my ducting system but will this be enough? I don't want to have to keep my a/c on all day to cool the closet. All advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks

cookface..... welcome to RIU. during vegitative stage, you want to use cfls in the 6500k spectrum(blue). during flower, you want to use 2700k spectrum(red). however, you can use a mixture of these 2 spectrums throughout your entire grow. so throw some 6500k's in with what you've got, and you'll be in good shape. keep them about 2" away from plant, just far enough not to burn. you may want to purchase a small clip on fan to use on the inside of the closet to disperse heat. make sure your water has a ph between 6.2-6.8 - lights on 24 hours a day during veg. and 12 on and 12 off to flower..... good luck

Thanks man. Yea I kind of know all the information already but again thanks. I'm looking for ideas and proven methods to keep my room closet cool. My closet is almost 2' long x 4' wide and 8' tall. I need help how to keep it cool. My whole close can be devoted to this thing.
