So I've arrived at a new location and decided to go ahead and share what I've got going on with the community.
I've rented a small house in a random american suburbia. I have obtained my soil containers (2 14 Gallon Rubbermaids) and filled them with a mixture of Fox Farm's Ocean Forest soil, coco noir. I have thoroughly spread a mycorhizae supplement in to the soil. Also, I recently acquired four HPS Ballast Kits, which I still have to wire and construct reflectors for. Each ballast is 150 Watts, and both rubbermaids will have two lights shining on them.
For ventilation I have one of the fans they use to inflate those wiggling-man balloons. It has a tremendous air volume output, and will be easy to alter to fit the purpose. It will draw the air through a carbon filter, and output the air into the attic. The growspace is entirely enclosed by interior walls, which will help with the noise the fan makes. It moves 12m3 per minute, and given that my growspace is about 35ft3, I think it will be more than enough to cool the lighting equipment and provide a constant windy disturbance for the plants.

I also have a professional grade carbon filter, it's an air purifying unit that you just set in a room. It's too large to fit the growspace, but should help to contain any suspicious odors within my residence.

It moves air across these three filters at a rate of 490 cfm on high, its quiet and it only consumes 120 Watts.
