Im thinking about buying a bubbleponics kit and sticking it in a closet that is about 2.5'x4.5 x6 feet. The light that i can afford, and want to use is the following , A 315 watt,17,000 Lumen 3 CFL setup with a reflecter. I plan on useing a 50k tube and switching out two 30K Spirals, and two 65K Spirals at the right times. This system is sopost to be a very low heat setup. Will these CFL's run cool enough that i can just stick everything in this closet and not worry about heat? Would just sticking a small fan in the closet to blow air around/ and blow on the plants slightly be enough ventilation/airflow? I always read about people having intake and outtake fans and all that but i dont think i can build that into this type of closet. Its an old walk in fire place or something and all but the floor and the doors are cement. Also i guess i wouldnt be able to use any filters like the charcoal filter because i dont have anything to blow through it. Any suggestions or advice of how i can make this work would be great.

Anyone? Anyone at all? Are these lights strong enough to grow a sweet batch of ... G13 Haze?

I can't say whether that's enough light or not, I've never flowered with CFL's. I do know that heat isn't going to be a problem with CFL's, and the one fan will be fine for circulation. The only thing I would be concerned about is exhaust and odor control. If you're leaving the doors cracked, you'll get enough fresh air with a circulation fan, but how are you going to guarantee a dark cycle with the doors cracked? If you're not going to leave the doors cracked then how are you going to get fresh air with no exhaust fan? If odor is something you have to be concerned about, how are you going to handle it?
