Running the ballast outside the grow area will be your best move. It creates as much or more heat than the bulb.

Since your fixture is open-air, you need to direct the end of the ducting as close to the heat source as possible - in this case the bulb. Either route it around the front of the shelf if you can, or put a hole in the shelf and run it through so that it sucks horizontally from the bulb fixture. You can rig something up.
