your box fan will only dilute the heat into the volume of the space available...
this is rarely sufficent to prevent the heat in a closet rising to the point where it stunts and damages your plants growth.
exhausting hot air is key to growing indoors under HID lighting...
its why there is so much discussion about how to accomplish it

HEY DUDE,
well , with a 150, you will not generate much heat at all.
i suggest you make it simple and use the 150 in a vertical orientation if you can. why? because then you can use a fan to blow heat up at the bulb and not burn the plants at all. any decent fan you can set on the floor will do as long as it's not too puny.
what dimensions does the closet have. if it's a typical 3 x 3 - 4 x 4 or bigger i really don't think you'll have heat issues. look for a inline on craig's list/ebay. but get one that is gonna be overkill because you won't stay with that 150 that long imho.
you can get an extra door and cut holes in it for intake air. that way yu just put back the good door. doors can be found real cheap or free if you keep an eye out. just as ong as it fits good is al that counts, don't have to be pretty. ok you alrerady have all the rest of the 411 imho to make your call. hope this helps u .

Well, they won't be as dense as you'd like, but they'll probably do.
Depends a lot on the strain, too.
Some plants need a lot of light to produce tight flower clusters.

That would explain why yer babies there are so stretchy and lanky and the light is so hi from them, right? Im confused? Going to kinda hard to change the State like thatarb wrote:What they said and shoplights are way better imo than cfl's,I use the 4' with t8 bulbs.
I don't think the t5's are werth the money and with the t8's ya can let the plants grow all up in them with minor damage.

I got mine to work well by re-orienting the AC/heater vent in the ceiling 3' outside the closet around sideways, making room for an exhaust hose right next to it, so the closet door stays open 4" to let the hose out, but that is closed off with a panda sheet.MyronFlorin wrote:..Closets are a problem unless you can put big holes for ducts in the walls or door..
