My closet, single plant

[BuddhaBud]

I want to upgrade my ventilation, anyone with a nice solution regardless of the price but i care more about the sound

Your setup looks about identical to the one I'm setting up now, except for the light placement, which is a bit better, so props - this isn't anything major for the ventilation but on mine I have a hole cut out at the bottom, 1.5 feet below my fan taking air out. This way more of the airflow comes over your wires and whatnot (you just have to move the wiring to that spot), eliminating a lot of the heat, and u got a lot of wires in there. Plus its also just another intake to provide air going out, so your airflow will be more efficient.
good luck, im gonna watch her grow
peace

FUCK i just deleted a whole big detailed post explaining my shite drawing attatched, cus im high, and so this might not be as perfect - Its a small cabinet thingy im using, and it had an open back so I expanded it, hence the extra little section upon which the fan is placed. The shelf moves up and down, Ill use the veg and flower lights on the shelf for vegging (the combo doesnt do anything special, but works as long as theres a 6400K), and the shelf flower with the flower light (both 23 watts, 2400K) on the back wall. The red wires are going from the lights to the timekeepers, and the blue wires are extension cords going from the timekeepers and fan out to the wall. Note how all cords and connections are as close as conveniently possible to the hole in the bottom. This will also act as an air intake, so cool air will flow over them, making it a safer and heat stress-free place for the plant.
Your surge protector and cords are all at the top, so the heat is gathering around them -this is BAD- well not like ur house is gonna explode bad, but its a no-no. Anyways, in my opinion you should try to move all the wires down and near an air intake where they exit. Then if this is below the fan, any excess air floats right up to it.
peace, and good luck -hope this made it clearer

I got you but i dont understand why it bad that the heat gather around the wire... My thinking was put the exhaust on top so the hot air always going up will be exited before the cold thats in the bottom of the cabinet. So if the wire are on top the hot air will be exhaust more easily. Anyway my temp problem is undercontrol right now. I have one plant right now a lil seedling that is under 4 x 23 w 6500K , the heat drop to 78 or so... but in my book.. I dont know if that sounds right in english ( its a french sayin) anyway in my book, if the plant is always tilting cuz of the wind heat cannot gather around it so its safe.. but im not sure if this stress the plant.. my thermometer always show high temp but it seems like its in a microclimate just above the soil around the pot... all the air in the closet is never a 30 or more so.. anyway im light one for yall and eat sumthin peaceout

Well heat running over the plant will stress it, but you probably would have seen some symptoms by now if it were that bad. dont know what you mean about the air being a 30 or more -unless maybe thats celcius - should be a good grow otherwise, good luck
