no expert but a fan does help it help with air circulation and helps keep the humidity down it also helps in giving you nice strong stems. I myself have a osculating fan blowing on top of my canopy as i need it to help keep my temps down and it certainly has done no harm. So yes i would advise getting one in there! Hope this helped

I have a duct fan mounted on a shoe rack thing that is pointing at my 400watt metal halide. I have another fan I chinced from a computer server for the plants. IDK be careful the 400 watt heats up my closet and it is about the same size

the thing is that i don't have ventilation and i usualy let the dor craked so that it gets air and release the heat in my wardrobe but i don't think it's a problem for 7 plants witch i don;t know the sex and probably 2 3 will be female so i think it;s ok whit the fan. is it ?

Yer I agree, definitely a fan is good for circulation and strong stems. Although IMO I think you should run a 600watt mh/hps instead of the 250 or atleast add a few fluros/LED/cfl watever as extra lighting, I don't think 250 is enough light for 7 plants. You'll end up with little fluffy pop corn buds hehe still tastey tho either way ;) gl man u should keep us posted wif an update!

Edit: sorry I didn't know u had a heat problem, I still think atleast extra fluros or LED would b good, they produce bugger all heat and will help with light penetration?

you need a vent to exchange air, a fan to create air circulation (wind-like) and 5 times the light you have.
For a 1.8 square meter grow I'd use AT LEAST 1K of light.

You have to bring fresh air in and you should have enough circulation that you can see leaves moving at least slightly. Why can't you leave the doors open wide except at dark time? My grow is in a closet and I leave the doors open when lights are on and I have a total of four fans positioned to move air into and out of the closet into the outer room.
