Discreet ventilation suggestions

[William Shatter]

I need to get fresh air into this closet. I have this door leading outside. I could drill thru the wall also potentially or the ceiling. I thought I could maybe rig somethin up from the outside door to the closet door or something. Any thoughts/ideas?

This is the 2 doors.


This is inside the closet. I put up a wall and shit half way I the closet as a compromise with the old lady so she could have storage and I could keep growing lol.


And then here's a quick look inside with the door open.

I have good air flow and exhaust inside the room i just need a good/discreet way to vent some cool/fresh air into the area

All good and yes venting is always a challenge in closet grows. I'm an apartment grower and often drape a vent line over/around doorways but its definitely a lesser solution. If you own the house and can drill through the wall to install the vent its well worth it. If useful you can paint the interior black to reduce light leaks both directions before the install. Bends in the line before it gets to the wall will cause flow inefficiencies but will also limit the amount of reflected light transmission too. Good luck.

Also depending on where you live local building codes may dictate how high off the ground that vent goes, or if its too close to a window (below) etc. But keeping everything to code or at least the appearance helps keep things on the DL...

can't you put a dog flap in the door and wedge it open a couple of inches and screw it soild, this would be easy to do and looks normal

That doggie door idea is actually super dope.

I don't own the house. But that wouldn't stop me from drilling holes for a vent if I have too. I've already torn walls down and put new ones up. I'll fix it all when I move anyways.

But that doggie door idea is looking good right now as well

Sweet setup. I'd suggest cutting a hole in that outer wall above the doorway and put a fan inside the closet pulling air in. A 4" vortex fan turned down with a variac should do. Could build a small shelf to hide the hole you just cut.
