Ventilation help, please.

Me and my partner are growing in a closet in the master bedroom of our house. The problem with this area is that it has no AC vents and since we rent i am hestitant to cut holes in the wall. We do have a light socket on ceiling in the closet i was pondoring removing the light and socket and using that as the hole but i was reading that the exhaust holes have to be a certain size. So i guess thats out. Another idea i was thinking of was buying another door, like a piece of plywood or something and just attach that to the hinges and cut some holes in that. I also have a abundant amount of panda plastic so i could always rig a tie up type door for it, but i cant make any holes in that or anything, because i want to keep my light aircooled. I am gonna be running a 600 watter. (maybe a 1k cuz its cheaper) i have already purchased light, hood, and fan. the van is a vortex style inline fan, 6inch like 350 cfm or something. and the hood is a euro hood a/c. so what can i do ventilate this light? given the space and means i have.

i say cut holes. cut em clean so you can slap the piece right back in and use a little drywall patch and poof. looking good when you are done. or if you have fear of it find someone to repair it when you shut down and move on.

it will be worth it. do it and don't look back. you could add another door (barrier of some sort with vent holes cut in it as well) have passive intake or get some kind of intake and vent out a hole in your added door. what about smell etc???gotta deal with that as well.

i got the carbon scrubbers, gotta figure that out into the plan too. i think the door or barrior will be best bet, so im gonna have a aircooled hood, that just takes the air out from the hood correct? does that mean i have to have another exhaust to get rid of air outta the room too? so id have to buy 2 vortexs?

buy a door that is yours and cut that bitch up for your ventilation needs...then when you move you have the other door and the landlord will be cool..just my opinion

okay so if i have a inline fan pushing the air out of the hole in door, with ducting obviously. how will i bring air into the room? another hole at the bottom? and i heard im suppose to avoid using exhaust air to intake. so if both the holes are in same door, how the hell am i gonna avoid using exhaust air from the hood?

will i need a squirell cage fan then? additional to my vortex fan? and if i do which one should be pointed out an in? i was gonna use my vortex to exhaust my air cooled fan and also have the carbon scrubber on that. it will be connected to my door, so then at the bottom should i cut another hole for the intake, and attach like a squirell cage to that blowing in?
