Tent Or Walk in Closet?

I just moved into my apartment and i was wondering if i should buy a tent to grow in or should i use my walk in closet as a grow room? I am going to be growing 6 plants under a 600w. The only problem with the closet is the air flow and fresh air coming into the closet. The problem i am worried about is the heat from the light in a tent. I dont really know what to do any suggestions????

regardless of which option you choose.... you're going to need a ventilation system of some sort. Your ability to place the tent anywhere you want, is probably an advantage. It can be set up near a window which broadens your exhaust and intake options.... whereas the closet will most likely need some sort of artificial climate control such as a portable ac.... but either way... come summertime I'd guess you're going to have to incorporate something like that anyway~
long story short, either one is workable... but you're going to have to keep those temps down one way or another... I'm sure you'll get plenty of great suggestions from the good people on here...
Best of luck!
 
this is a door thing i can open on the top of the closet it goes to the attic i think idk if i could use that to vent out but i have a portable ac unit in storage i can use in the closet

I use a walk/in clst, and also have the attic trap-door. I just stuck one of those dual window fans with the built in thermostat in the hole, and let it suck fresh air conditioned room air from under the door. It works like a charm, and gets pitch black when lights are off, good for 12/12 that way.
 
Yea i just opened it theres a huge space up there but it shuts because of springs i think im going to just grow in my closet i got a punch of pvc plastic too so i can line the inside with it for good reflection.

tents are easily movable. i dig them cuz if i have to shut down my grow with the quickness i can without having to fix and paint drywall. lol. why not put a tent in the closet? at least then u will be sure u have no light leaks.

ebay 4x4 will run u about 110 bucks. its not a bad ass 300+ bills tent but if u have the money they will save u a lot of headache dealing with light leaks and cooling.
