Grow room design decisions

Hello guys,
This is my first attempt at growing marijuana and my main problem for now is to design and create the grow space as stealthily and odor proof as possible. I'll be growing inside a cabinet with a space of 105cm x 55cm x 160cm on a 250W HPS lamp. My main questions to you are, a)Is the heat buildup in there going to be a problem? and b) What can i do about ventilation keeping in mind i have a small budget and i want the least possible odor going out of the grow space. If you want me to explain something in more detail feel free to ask me.

Whats your ambient temp and can you control the temperature in the room?

A 4 inch fan and filter would be good for that space.

For the ambient temp I dont know exactly but i can find out, and as for controlling the room temperature i can let cold air if its too hot. Also are you talking about a 4 inch PC fan or something else?

A 4 inch exhaust fan and carbòn filter.

To deal with air exchange/heat/odor, you will need a 4" inline fan and a carbon filter. $100 ish for a low end combo, better quality will cost you more. Keep in mind that while this will help with odor, you will have the noise from the fan to contend with if stealth is a concern.

Thank you for the advice but dont you think that because of the dimentions of the grow space, a proper exhaust fan is too much?

No a 4 inch would be fine and you could always put in on a speed controller.

You said you wanted to control odor so you need a fan and carbon filter.

If you want odor control, you don't really have any other options. You will need a carbon filter for odor and need a fan capable of pulling through the filter. 4" fan and filter is the smallest available.
