should i use 3 pc fans for intake and 3 pc fans for outake(2800RPM,60mm) or is it better to leave the door opened and use just reflector and not fans?

I use one 6 inch cpu fan at the bottom, one on top, and leave door open when lights are on, door closed will reach 91-92 exhaust, 88-90 open, I also have fan inside directed air flow up. more fans to draw air out good idea if you are moving enough room air in.

If you can then yes leave ur door open that would be Awsome! But you do want a fan blowing on ur plant.. So get like a stand up fan or wall mounted fan, something to blow on ur plant(: and 6 cfls no buddy. I have like 8 all together it's like 301watts and that's just for one plant in a 1x2x3 grow box. Hehe very small box but I'm getting my grow tent Friday so(;

But yes if ur not looking for super stealth then DEFIANTLY leave your door open, it will help with the air flow and heat a lot!

I don't know of anyone growing indoors in any fashion without at least one fan. Get something. Go to goodwill or whatever, get one for a couple of bucks.
I can't imagine you'll get much air movement in a closet w/o one. You need to move air around the plants for a number of reasons. G/L!

shouldn't, keep thermometer inside and next to exhaust, you will see the effectiveness. plants need fresh circulating air, water and medium. use smoke candle or incense to see how the air travels, closed door and open, You kind of have to play with it. adjust as necessary.. GL..
