This build up of heat is why micro/cab grows are intense day to day. I'd cut back on the light personally. I'd venture to guess 40w will do her just fine for the time being til you get the ventilation in check.

I don't know jack about cheap but I do like inexpensive. I actually run a 4" 170cfm fan on my flower box cost me $90usd. It's overkill but the ladies absolutely love the influx of CO2. On my veg I run a 3" 50cfm bathroom fan @ $15usd. The veg box is running 150w of CFL for 2 plants.

I highly recommend the fan I have its basically made for this, it's called a black orchid mini whisper clip in fan, nice strong clip but also has a base for free standing! It's designed too resist humidity and heat on grow areas and only cost me about 15 bucks delivered!

I didn't know you were givin' yours a CO2 boost. I try to catch it right before the lights come on. 1300 to 1500 ppm's just as the lights come own with the exhaust fan off. Let it dissipate with the oscillating fan inside or until the controller calls for another shot of it. Then open the door for water check.

Was wondering more about this fan and all the where, when, you found out about them. I want to try a strong fan so I could use an aquarium filter carbon cartridge between the box & fan.
