thats right!
I have the carbon intake inside the grow room(
IMAGE), next in line is the "in line" fan, then the "sealed" light fixture, then out of the fixture to outside the room.
I found sucking the odor thru the filter first then thru my "sealed" light fixture, then out of the room the most practical.
The Crabonair filter I have is like 16" diam. by 16" (or so) tall and I just don't have a place on the end of the exhaust line to put it where it won't be noticed.
The dryer vent style exhaust hose I'm using (4") blends in pretty well as a bathroom exhaust in the ceiling of my basement. Stealth is good.
Filter-Fan-Light-Outside seems to be used a lot.
I have another passive duct that brings fresh air into the room which is separate from the exhaust system.
It is also good to (if you are able to) place the filter near the top of your room so as to catch more heat/ Odor as heat rises.
