exhaust question

[newbie grow420]

I am thinking of going with a 400w HPS in a closet 2x3x7 so 42 square feet and I don't want to use some bulky loud exhaust so I was thinking of getting a square muffin fan that is 55cfm but will that small of a fan really keep it cooler or would it not make much difference in heat.

I did a 400 watt hps in a 2x4 closet too. i just used a bathroom fan from home depot and kept a oscillating fan blowing at the plants and there were no heat issues.

400w is a lot for that little area, I think you might want to invest in an inline fan. .

my closet was 2x4 but keep in mind the door stayed open. i guess i should have mentioned that. If your goin stealth then you should use a cool tube.
