Default 400 Watt HPS Grow Cab NEED ADVICE SOON!!!

This is what I`m working with.

400 Watt AgroStar ballast
6" Cooltube
4' wide 21" deep 6' tall ClosetMaid cabinet

I have never used HID lighting and I need some advice with how to keep this thing cool. With doors open temps are around 80 with doors closed it is around 102. I have ordered 2 120 cfm muffin fans one for intake on the bottom and an exhaust for the top. I just germed 32 seeds. I know that is overkill i just want to keep as many of the better plants as possible. I am growing in 66% peat moss and 33% perlite. Not sure what kind of nutes to use yet. If anyone has any advice or ideas as to how i could make this grow any better it would be highly appreciated.
Order your seeds now

def HAVE to vent it off, get some fans and make an intake and out like you said. you might need stronger fans but those might do. other than that not much other than keep it under 85 degrees, cannabis stops growing at that temp. you want to be able to keep the light 12-18 inches off the plants. ventilation is really important

Thanks for all the help guys, i have about 20 sprouts popping through this morning under a 20w flouro and a 26 watt cfl for the time being i also have ordered the 3 pack fox farm (GROW BIG, BIG BLOOM, TIGER BLOOM) and also 3 gallon grow bags, im still waiting for my muffin fans. they are 12v does anyone know if you can use a 19v dc adapter or would that burn the fans up
? Also when should i add nutes?? Thanks again!
