You may be able to add a 400w to that area as long as the ambient room temperature stays in the low 70's

I have 800w in 2 x 5' closet check it out

in a closet that big, you might want to do lollipop,sog and use a 400w hps imo. the light wont be able to disperse along the dimensions given.

i usually vent through the cavity of the wall.. just make a small cut or hole stick the fan nose into the cavity. i have a carbon filter so it doesnt smell.

i kept the piece i cut so when i leave the place i can put it back with some mud and sand it down and repaint it, like new.

well you have a choice. you can do a passive intake, basically a hole in the wall to bring in fresh air and co2. or you can do active intake which is basically a 120mm case fan rigged up to a ac adapter, or another cage fan or some kind of fan to increase air flow. i did 2 case fans at 70cfm (140cfm) to bring in air from the wall cavity.

ok cool and last question maybe hehe how would i go about cutting a hole in the wall neatly so i can keep the piece and put it back in if i move? also how do i know where to cut a hole so i dont hit solid stuff and what not.

best thing would be to use a slim saw or if you have a knife with teeth. use a stud finder to detect any solid objects behind the wall. what i did was i made a small incision with a drill and stuck my knife in and cut along a circle i made accordingly to my fan nose. then i took some aluminum duct tape and sealed the loose ends.

if you dont have a stud finder prolly just using the knocking technique to hear the difference between a hallow and solid area.
