Well shit, that was easy lol! 1st problem solved, now on to venting!

An exhaust fan would go great on top of that shelf, sucking air through a hole in the top of said shelf, and pushing out into the attic above if nothing else, as long as you're committed to a CFL grow...

Oh...well just expel the spent air as far away and outside of the grow room (closet) as possible. You want to keep your humidity low 25-50% and your temps right around 74 degrees if possible. That is what you're striving for with the venting.

Let know how it goes and yeah, do some reading on LST, with weak light source it may be your only sensible way forward. Good luck!

Check out what they have to offer. Try not to cheap-out on things, you'll just end up buying the better version later anyway. You need an HID light with a vent-able hood, a good bulb, at least one in-line exhaust fan, nutes (I'd go synthetic your first time around), Ph up (and maybe Ph down as well), pots that drain well, and it wouldn't hurt at all to line that closet with mylar.

Get good soil, I use FF Happy Frog.

If your city's shop is halfway decent you should be able to pick up a lot of the big items used if you're on a tight budget.
