Re: Carbon Filter??

Yep I ran it from the time I got it. My roommate yelled at me to get something. The smell smacked you in the face as soon as you opened the front door. I liked it but kinda hard havin company over without some questions from them.

Re: Carbon Filter??

It really depends on the strains your growing. Some don't stink much at all till you're hanging and drying. I turn mine on about the last 2 weeks of flowering and while they are hanging.

what kind of filter do you guys use...what would be a good one for like a 10 x 10 room?

 

[Weed420]

I usually fire mine up the last 3 weeks of flower and during drying. I made mine out of a 5 gallon bucket. Search around they're easy to build.

hey weed420... does the one you built get rid of ALL the smell??

 

[dom42]

i hav one that has been running for 2 years in a 10x20 room. and it still works....going to be replacing it this year though. just for self gratification

 

[dirtyjerz]

how well does it work though is my question because i am unfamiliar with all this stuff.. in the next room over could u smell anything?

Yep. It works great and only cost about $40 to build. There's all different kinds of designs.

DIY Carbon Scrubber
Just a very simple setup, very quiet with a 6" inline fan bought from Lowes.

I run my filters 24/7/365 they last 1 year.I have 2 when one gets weak i order the carbon for the other so i am never down

I run my only during lights on 12/12. My tent is sealed up pretty tight during lights off so the smell is contained. I may pop it on for an hour or 2 in the middle of lights out to exchange the air in the tent though....
