I am trying to find a reducer for this so I can use an inline fan. I can't find one that will fit the 3.5" ID of the small pencil cup. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I had ghetto made mine using the pencil cups from Office Depot.

A 6" to 4" reducer from Lowes/Home Depot fit fine. I just duct taped it around, but already fit pretty well without the tape.

This is a great idea that i'm definitely going to use. I also made a make-shift carbon filter using a box fan with a furnace filter w/ activated carbon duct taped to the back of it. These together should eliminate pretty much any skunky smell seeping from my grow room. Thanks for the idea!

Smaller black "Pencil cup"
Black ladies socks (pantyhose)
Activated carbon




Poor some carbon in the mesh like "pencil cup"



.... just enough so the smaller cup is level with the larger cup.



Slip the smaller cup into the sock




Tuck the sock into the smaller cup holding the end of the sock. Pore in the carbon.. keep holding the end of the sock.




Now pull on the end of the sock and use your finger to guide the carbon into the space between both cups until filled.




Now pull the end of the sock over the entire filter.. twist the end of the sock at the bottom and pull it up over the end of the cup.





Now simply use duck-tape to place the filter over your exhaust fan. I used a rubber band to secure it...




Works great... though I already miss that sweet aroma =[

Don't forget to visit the rest of my micro grow for more great Zen style DUI.. link in my sig...

This is the best diy filter that i've used/built. it's lasted me about 4 months and has had about 2-3 ounces filtered through it...it's getting a little weaker,but still working...I plan on changing the carbon soon.

The original design is great, except I had a small problem with the inner pencil holder slipping out and screwing up the carbon layer....to fix this I put 2 opposing screws into the top rim of the container, outside to inside, through the carbon layer...this holds both pencil holders securely in place.

I plan on using this design to build a larger version for a friend, I saw a minnow trap bucket thing at walmart the other day, and it looks like it would work perfect for a larger design...I plan on flattening out the bottom so it has a "cup" shape to it, but I might end up just plugging the bottom "holes" to utilize the extra surface area.

it's similar to this.link.I couldn't find it on walmart's site, might be out of season or something...but most sporting goods stores should have them. If I build this thing anytime soon I'll be sure to post pics.


*edit I use a small pc fan about 40cfm and it works perfectly...for high cfm I'd recommend a larger surface area or thicker carbon layer.
