Need some advise fellas

What up folks'

Im gonna try growing and i gotta couple questions about my room i attachrd a pic so you get an idea. Its a good size walk in closet about the size of a small bathroom. I wanna use a 600w hps but i dont wanna do all the crazy venting. Since my room is a good size 6ft across goes 4ft back and is 9ft high do you think i could jus leave my door open with fans blowing in on bottom and fans blowing out at top. I have central air and the vent for the air thats in my bedrrom blows into the closet. Im not really worried about smell cause i have my rec.

so you think my plans would work with a 600w, or should i go smaller. Or could i go bigger and use a 1000w. Or should i rethink my grow room thanks.

well it depends where that exhausted air is being blown. that is if you're just blowing into a nearby room annd then blowing that same air back in, it will not be good enough. you need to somehow change the air with outside fresh air. also consider light leaks in flowering if keeping door open. you can figure out a way for venting without it being "crazy". Why does venting sound crazy to apply? there's always a way to do it as you want, tell us what is the complication if you had to put a regular exhaust?
to determine the light requirements, tell us what is the size of that closet?

Its possible for a 600w, but you have to figure out some way to keep it cool, and have the door closed too. I would get a 3x3 tent in there and have room to move around for supplies instead of storing it somewhere else the central air flowing into closet when open wont work at all I don't think.

i think he'll be OK at lights out because the door will be closed.

but at lights on time, you're dead right. gotta get new, fresh air in there. can't be blowing hot air out only to blow it back in.

thanks for the replys, so i gotta get fresher air in there even if i can keep the grow room at a good temp/humidity with the doors open. My plan was too keep the door open, hang the light, make a reflective surrounding that looks like this. "arrow" --> [----].

imagine the middle dotted lines connecting the back space and the light hanging in the middle. So the front of the tent is open facing the door way of the closet, thats where i would have fans on the ground of the door way blowing in air. Ive read that the hot air sits at the top of the room so ill have fans blowing out the top of the door way. So even though the room where the closet is, is huge and well ventilated my fans blowing in and out wont produce enough freash air to the grow area, even if the bedroom door is open aswell. and the bedroom door is right next to the closet door.

what can i do to get freash air to that closet if you dont think my idea works.

You would be best to figure out if you can get some sort of ac in there.

I agree with the others.

You should aim to get rid of hot air not just recirculate it.

Here is a link to a build I done a few years back with a 600w.

Take off it what you want. Its a closet that measures 7x3.2x8.

Thanks, but thats what i meant by crazy venting. Im not saying its hard to do, its that i cant do that since its a apt complex. Ill figure this out though. Im gonna buy the light and all other equipment needed and set up the closet and check the temps and see how my idea works.

Also i was thinking about jus doing that setup in my bedroom and set it up by a open window, would that be could cause there would be freash air always coming in. Then during lights out ill jus move them to the closet and shut the door.

I replied but it said moderator had to approve or some shit.

I cant cut holes in my wall so all the proper venting i cant do. Im gonna buy my equipment and set it up in the closet and see how hot it gets and go from there.

Also if that doesnt go well i was wondering if i could make that same reflective setup and just set it up next to a open window in my bedroom so the freash air is right next to the plant setup would that be better to do.
For lights off i would move the plants to the closet and shut the door.

A portable ac unit like a ceramic heater, too keep it cool. You think doors open with a portable ac unit in there would work.
