You are going to need to vent air in and out of that space. Either use existing vents if they exist or cut holes in walls. You can always repair a hole when you move.

if you can't vent, get one of them portable AC units.... not cheap but that will do the trick also

you can't get around venting - you'd need to vent the exhaust from the ac. If the temps in the room outside the closet are below 75 f then no need for ac, above 80 f and you have to have ac.

The AC unit I had in mind was a stand-alone unit that has a duct to suck fresh air out of a window/room and blow it out from itself... and yes, getting the stale air out of the room is also a must. I think the problem was temps, not air circulation.

A small AC unit will only solve half of your problem. You will achieve cooler temps with it, but you would still be recirculating the same air in your grow space. By using a true air intake and exhaust setup, you can reduce your temps, and your plant will get a constant supply of fresh air; your plants will thank you. Think of yourself being closed up in an almost air tight room for a few weeks. How do you think the air would be after a while?

...thats in a cloest right? if you open the other sliding door or whatever and point that big fan in one side and have the air blow out through the other i bet it will drop a couple degrees....i have opening doors for my cloest so i cant do that. but my temp is always around 80 degrees and i have 3 cfls plus my 150 and a 4 inch desk fan.
how hot is it where you live? the outside temps can contribute too ive noticed

HEY Careful too not to mist the plants when the lights are on..... not a good thing to do to the plants.The plants and crinkle up and burn from the light. Mist them when the light is not on. I know this sound stupid, but I used to put ice cubes in trays and set them next to the plants and also next to the fan. I have an ice maker so it was easy to do. I kept the temp down 5 degrees. You could also like everyone said cut a hole in the ceiling and put and exhaust system in; so you are blowing all the hot air created by the lamp out of the room.

if your in an apartment i think cutting a hole in your roof would be a last resort....i mean its a good idea but, only iif your owning a home

yea def what tranquility said if you live in a apartment it would be a last resort..... if its your own home, do it first it will save some time later. That's one of the first things I did when I first set up. It helped tremendously controlling the temp.
