Small closet grow. Can i grow with just a light and dehumidifier without a fan? I'm not concerned About mold as much as I am lack of fresh air. There is just a 1 and 1-2" gap at the bottom of the closet door.
 
I have before for a single plant. with 150W of LED
Wasnt the best and needed to open the door twice a day to exchange the heat out since the dehumidifier would make it quite hot in there.

Its a yes and no question In my opinion. an ososcillating fan blowing lightly on plants helps strengthen stems and a few other important functions. The exhaust fan is going to change out the stale air in closet. Also without exhaust how are you going to handle smell control? All that being said you can still get to the finish line without them. Think of it like this. Can you cook a turkey without any seasonings? Yes but the end result is much better when you use right tools.
 
Not really concerned about smell so much because my state just legalized recreational mj. I guess I'll just open the door every day to let in fresh air.
 
I grew once before in this closet and the plants were massive. I think because it constantly was 90 degrees and wall reflection was killer cuz it was small
 
Are you renting? If so, then you could find a cheap door that you could mount a fan to and replace the door when you stop growing or move out.
