Decent ventilation/inline fan?

Anybody aware of a decent as well as affordable inline Duct Fan or some type of fan I'm assuming so I can exchange the air in my space? It gets really stagnant here, as well as the whole place I live at as well as there's no ventilation even in the house hardly, and I'm sure my plans would definitely enjoy the humidity removal as well as the oxygen and CO2 Exchange. Willing to drill a hole if I need to to pump it outside or whatever I need to do.

Maybe look for a decent bathroom exhaust fan or a window fan. Do you have an exhaust fan over your stove that you can run?

What's the cubic footage of the room?
 
Is there a vented attic?

The growing space I am using in the room is approximately 75 cubic ft., and the room itself is approximately 1000 cubic ft, and I currently have the area I'm growing in the room cordoned off with a shower curtain at the moment so you could say there is passive intake top and bottom.

It's a mobile home and has a minimal amount of insulation in the "attic" so to speak.. Has a metal roof. Not sure if it has a vent or not but it does already have this hole for a speaker in the grow area as shown in my picture.. It can all be changed its just been a step by step grow.. Thanks so much Hogleg!

With a window fan you won’t have to knock a hole in the wall.

Too hard because the humidity here in TN and will have to be wasting more money on heating, a/c, and climate control..

Do you want this to be a dedicated grow (producing pods) or is it just a starter room?
 
Kinda determines what the inve$tment is worth.
 
In short, you either need to close off that room (nix the shower curtain) creating a micro environment or thoroughly vent the window of the whole larger room it's in. 
 
Even if it's humid air, the exchange will help a lot.

Well, it's a bedroom but would really like to produce pods during the next winter perhaps and as soon as these starts are outside I would like to grow some different plants in there that have similar requirements, and those I would be start to finish in there.

Ok, If you are handy with a screw gun and saw?
 
I would frame a wall using 1" by lumber and cover it with 1" rigid foam (foil sided) insulation board, creating a micro environment..
 
If you're really handy you can put a hinged door in the wall too using the same materials.
 
Then you'll need something around this cfm and some flexible ducting.

Better to cut holes in the foam insulation than your existing walls, I figure.
