Easy to Build DIY Carbon Filter

looks good . ima try it

I have a grow-bathroom with an exhaust fan of 1200 m^3/hr, or 750CFM. it has a 30cm diameter (13inch). IM worried that my exhaust fan might be a bit too strong for this method, and might either pull the aluminum screen in or have too much resistance. Does air flow through this filter nicely or does it block airflow? How long do you recommend my filter to be? (assuming it has a 13 inch diameter and pulls at 750CFM)

This thing works great but you can't use a high speed fan cuz the air flowing past the carbon filter needs x amount of time for it to adhere to the filter, I had a 250 cfm inline fan attatched and it still stunk of skunk lol, after reading an article I reattached my 80 cfm fan to it and whala no stink

This should be a sticky good job +rep

Hey, guys! I'm starting my first closet grow here soon and I've been searching the forums looking at different setups trying to find good ideas. I was looking at how to neutralize the smell and came across this awesome thread. I plan on throwing one of the TruAir filters into my box (which I've heard work amazing) and building this scrubber setup. From the pictures, it doesn't look like the tube was filled with anything, but some of the posts have confused me. It's just wrapping the filter around the aluminum wire and attaching everything really tight with duct tape, right? Then hooking up the ventilation to pull the air from the box out through the scrubber? Kind of like a chimney?

I'm going to try to build my setup to use five CFL bulbs at probably 6500K or 5000K and then place my ventilation in the ceiling to pull the hot air (that rises) out of the box and through the scrubber. I want to have my intake on the bottom front of my box, so that my plant stays cool and gets lots of fresh air.

Am I understanding this correctly? I'm only going to be growing one plant at a time, so it won't be like I have a forest in my box or anything.
