It looks like your 'table' has some books or something holding it up... i would put something under the corners... All it would take is one time to lean on the wrong part of that thing and BAM soil and little plants all over the floor.
If there is any way to get another fan an hang it close to the top of the door and have it blowing out... it should suck hot air out the top of the closet. In fact, I might just do that with the one fan you have, see what it does to the temps, it might help, might not.
And yeah, Game is ill...

What he's saying is to cut two holes in your closet wall/ door/ ceiling... one to let air in... one out.
And the light in the closet thing is the biggest worry I have.... I don't have fences around my house and sometimes kids cut through the neighbors... I have to keep my blinds closed when the light is on, cuz I don't want some punk kid getting some ideas about coming up on my weed.
I think I'm even going to run the lights and shit after I harvest in case someone is paying attention... I don't want them knowing my plants are ready to smoke.

Ok i live in an apartment i cant cut holes in the doors....or walls or ceilings....i have to leave the closet as is.....
as far as the light leaking out... i have trees infront of my windows of my apartment so the light isnt a problem... i also live on the second floor.... so there is no way for anyone to see inside my apartment...with the blinds closed or open for that matter...

The best thing to do, I think, is to get a computer fan (little thing) that will fit inside the hole in the side of your light hood. Then at home depot get flexible ducting (the size of your hood hole, 4" or 6") and run that to the opening of the door.
I think right now you are just pushing the hot air around the closet, you have to get it out of there somehow.

maybe i can get some ply board and cut some holes in it at the bottom and at the top....and mount a fan at the top blowing the air out...Say i mount the fan directly above the light with the hose thing blwing it out the hole at the top you think that will help...

keep us updated
missed your other post.... yeah... a plywood, sub-door thing would be perfect.. it also would help kill some light to help you sleed at night.
Nice thinking.

Buy yourself a new door or wood big enough to make your own door.
unscrew the door off, put yours on. That means you can do what the hell you want to that wood and as soon as landlords or anyone comes around you can put the other door back on, shut the lights off and no one will ever know.
Intake at the bottom, out take at the top.
You can construct light traps for the intake and out take to minimize the risk of your grow being seen by unwanted people.
You can use a regular fan if you're really strapped for cash.
Just get a small but high CFM fan, remove the base etc. Cut the hole out and screw that badboy in place. I knew a guy who did the same thing and used a shit load of these..
To secure it in place. I'm not sure if I'd trust myself with that but it worked for him.
I would get a large plastic water tray to put under your pots. when you transplant them you will definitely need it.
Consider a cooltube too, it might help.
Think about your grow seriously..It's gonna start smelling when you put them into flowering.
Invest in some inline fans, a new door, Parts for a cooltube and a water tray.
