to vent or not to vent...that is the question

im starting some seeds in a cabinet that is 22"h x 18"w x 23"d. it is sealed right now but i can remove the drawer thatis in it and have an opening that is roughly 8x12 at the top. im only running 4 26w cfls and im only gonna have them for 2 weeks max.....opinions?

Snag a thermometer you can get them at a hardware store for very cheap.. It will be essential.. when you open the drawer can you feel a blast of heat? 4 CFLS in that space could possibly get up to 90+ which isn't really optimal..

its always better to have fresh air and ventilation... but if its only 2 weeks in there and you dont want to do the work, the plants will prolly be ok, just open the door often
