question about ventilation?

Whats up guys....so im starting my first indoor grow and im not sure if this set up will work out advice would be greatly appreciated

Space: 4' x 8' x 7' Hydrohut with 6" duct holes

Light: 400 w MH for veg
600 w HPS for flower..both lights are air cooled

My question is...would it be posible to run 1 309 CFM inline fan through a 275 cfm carbon filter and the lights?

not advised, you should be good but you what lotsa people do is use a bigger filter than their fan,with my 4x8 hut i run 2 1000w hps over a 4x8 tray and it stays nice and cool, I use an 8" filter and fan going through my lights to push out the hot air. how are you gonna run a veg and flower room in a hydro hut?
 
I found a old cabinet for veg...would it be a better to run a blower to cool the lights and have an inline fan to extract through a carbon filter?

Yeah i see a lot of people going: light > fan > scrubber. the hot is is geting sucked though the fan and then pushed through the scrubber.

But i guess what your saying is you have: scrubber > fan > light ? sucking through the scrubber then pushing through the light.

Thats the way i would go also
