stealth closet ventilation needed?

hi im still getting setup for my first time grow in my closet. the closet dimensions are 8.5x3.5x4.5 about 134cu ft. im going to have 10 26 watt cfl's and seed 4 plants and determine their sex and clone females for budding. i was wondering if constant ventilation is necessary in this small of a space. i will have multiple fans blowing air around inside the closet. i was wondering if candles in a metal container would provide co2? the goal of my closet grow is to provide enough bud for me and a couple friends, but not make the closet setup obvious such as holes in my door and such. smell is not a problem or should not be one.

you have to have ventalation they need fresh co2 all the time. the candles wont put off enough to have any effect sadly. cant drill any holes? why not?

cant be scared to start drilling into walls, cutting holes in doors, tearing down drywall for vent intakes, its all part of the growing process. ..nothing you cant repair when you move...
haha..jk man just build a seperate grow box inside your closet, so you can make air intake and outtake. then you can leave your closet door open to let fresh air in. good luck

ok thanks man, i see if i can section off the shelf they are going to grow on. maybe for this type of thing particle board may come in handy. then i could cut some holes in the sides with fans for ventilation. the box should hopefully keep most of the light in the closet where it is undetectable even with the door cracked open a bit. do i still need co2 if i have proper ventilation?

extra co2 would still help out ALOT ALOT!!
there are easy, cheap ways to make co2 using yeast and sugar water in a milk jug. check out the grow faqs.
i started using co2 late in my grow and noticed it was helping alot. so its def something to think about. just remember your 1st grow is all about learning, try different things, (trial and error). then on the grows to come it should be smooth sailing. good luck bro
