Some input on my closet set up?

Hello. first post of many more to come :mrgreen:

i live in a town house (kinda like a condo i guess) im a renter so i cant really make any mods that i wont be able to restore to its original state

im working with a 400w mh light with ballast
weather outside is around 80-100 degrees so the heat adds to the closet light heat and i cant afford to run the A/c all day

-Closet is L 6ft x W 2ft x H 8ft = 96cm
-Double sliding doors

i just want to get everything primmed and ready for some plants before i blow more moola on seeds again
i ordered 3 strains and i rushed to germ them. when i realized the light in the closet was way too hot it was too late. I didnt think it through enough the first time. i put the seeds next to my window in two clear dixie cups to lock moisture, and the heat toasted my alcapulco gold sprout in 2 days :-( i i brought it back to health but i could tell it was suffering and growing only one leaf. i killed it and im ready to try again. but i want to actually make it work this time

What else do you have in the closet besides a 400w MH w/Ballast? Any fans? Carbon scrubber?.... Where do you vent out?

No but I would only need a couple 10 dollar fans, and would be easy to get
I was searching and I think it would be best to connect a inline fan from my ballast to some kind of hole that I could make in the ceiling (if I can search how to patch it back up) and add a carbon filter at the end? Just a thought
How would that set up work? What kind of fan would I need?
