So I am building my grow cabinet now. The dimensions are 30" X 20" X 72". I have a vent I will be putting on the bottom of my cabinet. I hope to vent through the top section of cabinet and connect my vent fan to a carbon filter I will make myself.

What's a good economy vent fan? How many CFM do I need? Does Walmart or Target sell a model that would work? Can I hook a square bathroom fan up to a carbon filter? (My plan was to use a circular one and attach it to ducting, but at Home Depot the only circular bathroom fan the size I want is a lot more than I want to spend.)

I'll be using a 250 Watt MH with no air cooling so I need this to keep my cabinet cool and also to provide fresh air.

Sadly I've spent almost all of my available money. I'll have to be doing this on the cheap and upgrading it later. I just set up my MH today without even putting the vent in (My poor seedlings are stretched like crazy.) Hoping it doesn't kill them before tommorow when I can put a fan in.
