Ok, this is my first grow, and the plants are well hidden in a 12"x21"x96" area, about 14-15 cubic feet of space I think. Plants are about 1 month old, and REALLLLLY smell lol. When someone comes into my house, its like they run into a forcefield when the smell hits them lol.

Anyways, I havent tried to make my own carbon filter yet, which I will soon, but I decided to see if I could make something out of what I had laying around the house. Grabbed a PC fan, and 16 oz disposable drinking cup, cell phone charger, lots of tape, and one of my paint mask filters.

Cut the cup to the point where the filter could get logged in one end. Then cut out the other end and taped the fan to that side. Simple, yeah?

Well I totally was thinking this wouldnt work, cause after turning it on, there was almost no airflow through the filter, but m3h, stuck it in my grow spot anyways and went to bed. Brother came over this morning and freaked out cause he couldnt smell the plants, had thought I got rid of them till he checked the spot lol. But anyhow, I got a temp fix till I make a carbon filter, seriously doubt this will last more than a few days, but hey, buys me time lol.

you can exhaust right out the sewer.

You mean the filter on a respirator?

Clever idea.

if your going to make a carbon filter i found that a shoe box works great! what i do is put a pc fan on one end and a tube out the other side fill it up with carbon and dryer sheets and seal it up real good! the dryer sheets need replaced every week/ week and half, but they put out a pleasent smell!!!

Thanks for the info, I'm a firm believer in "PC fans for anything" and have some extras. I picked up an 4.5" AC (not DC) 115CFM fan, added a variable speed control, and timer that I've been itching into wire into something... lol
