going into 4th week of veg bout to start 12/12 but with the new hps im having some heat problems due to fact its in a closed closet its hitting 32 35 closed but open slightly i can get it down 26.2 - 27.9 i dont really want to have to cut holes and its not a closed off hood or i would cut holes and vent straight in/out
help would be great

The 250 watts the lamp draws, is emitted as roughly 75w's of usable light and 175w's of heat (about a 30/70 ratio for hps and about 25/75 for mh). Sorry to say, but you're going to have to cut some holes somewhere along the line to draw cooler air into, and then exhaust warmer air from, your environment.
