I copied this from my grow log, I figured that some people in here might find this useful. If you have time visit it, it's in my signature.
Well, we got a thermometer and found out our temps were way to high with the closet shut for longish periods of time(3 hours or so), so we devised up a cheap ventilation system, including a discrete setup. So what we did was hook up our $11 wal-mart fan to some 8" ducting($12) and a collector($7), and ran it straight out of the closet, after cutting a rectangle hole in the wall. Then we covered the hole with a regular heating/cooling vent cover. This was installed at the top of the room. We made everything air tight by using duct tape.
Next, we took the left over hose, and attatched it to a hole we cut at the bottom of the closet. We covered this part also with a cover. These heating/ac covers were $5 each. Because the fan up top is blowing air out of the closet, than automatically draws air in from the bottom of the closet, thus giving us a cheap incognito ventilation system. Throw a couple dryer sheets on the back of the exit fan, and instant smell cover up also. We made sure each hose had a good bend in it so that no light was excaping from the vents, also. Around the door, we have added weather stripping, so no extra light gets out of the cracks of the door. This makes the closet look completely normal from the ouside.
Check out the pictures of the setup, and the progress of the plants. Two days ago I ordered 10 lowryder2 seeds, so we will be keeping our best current plants, and start focusing more on the lowryders, since they fit our grow well. We can have one closet that is both vegging our first plants, and vegging and flowering lowryders.
We have recently fimmed all the larger plants, and will show detailed pictures of the results as soon and they are easily visible.
