I'll help here. I would go to a 12 gauge for long term and make sure it's on a separate circuit. For a mylar solution reflextics double bubble foil is great . Line your comforter with it. And 2- 400 watt hps or 250's would cover the area and control heat easier. 1k is a lot for the intended space. 1 k is good for 4'x4' .
To get by... flower small plants under the t5 till you have more space. Good luck and grow on!
I've been cut down to a small space recently and I'm doing what I can to maximize it..
What kind of ac unit do u have? Is it a portable unit or a window unit in the bedroom? Is it 71 in ur closet with the lights on? How many btu?
I'd try and use the ac as ur intake, i can show u pics of how I have a portable unit running that doesn't exhaust from the grow space (no smell this way) if that's the kind of unit u have..
It'd be a good idea to grab a carbon scrubber and use it inline with ur hood and fan as the exhaust..
I have issues with a 1k and not having much headroom due to radient heat, I have a bare bulb and about 3.5 feet from bulb to floor tho so u may not have the issue in ur set up, if u use a light mover u surely won't.. It doesn't seem to effect the buds much but some strains leaves canoe on me..
I'm running seed plants right now, they get just under 30 days from germ before they go in to my flower box and I top the b'jeezus outta them.. They are in party cups till a week before flower too, they get an up pot to a 5in X 5in square pot (around half gallon liquid volume) and that's it..
Here's an idea of how it runs/looks.. Space is 3 ft 1in X 3 ft 11in

Plants have been putting out between 1 and 3 zips depending how they were treated in veg.. majority of the plants in there are stinky chem hybrids and there is no smell outside of the box at all :)
I have a 4x4 tent with a 450 cfm fan and Dedicated 8k btu ac and my 1000 still creeps the tent up to 79 sometimes. It's all vented outside even, I had no idea how much heat a 1k put out until I turned mine on, that's a lot of heat in that small space with a comforter hanging up, grab some panda film so at least the closet isn't wrapped in kindling. I didn't read all the way through but are you air cooling this light? If so what size fan?
Firstly, I don't know what your sexuality has to do with growing.
Secondly, I bet your parents will still love you when you come out.
Thirdly, "It's raining men, hallelujah!" :)
^^ at first i was like lolwut? then i was all rofl ;)
@candi
there 11 plants in my space right now..
try venting ur ac into ur room as ur intake, as long as ur exhaust is strong enough to create neg pressure u will be golden..
i know its not the same type of ac unit but this might help

if u vent the cold air into the closet like this the exhausted air should still keep ur bed room cool and ur closet frosty :) no smell will leave ur closet like this either if u have a carbon scrubber inline with ur hood at the exhaust.. u will lose stealth tho having it running from the window to the closet..
also running ur lights at night time rather than day should keep u running cooler, powers cheaper here at night time anyways so win win :)
