Did you check the first page of this thread? There is all kinds of DIY stuff there.

yes, i checked there, i can't seem to find it anywhere. i thought i subscribed to the thread i found it on, but i keep searching the threads and can't find it. kind of puzzling.

Carbon filters are advantageous and used because carbon is a very complex element that is easily bondable to other materials due to its valence electron middle ground (it has 4). When pollutants or other elements enter through air flow, thse molecules attach themselved to the available carbon molecules and thus are not expelled from the filter. A carbon filter can be made very easily by simply getting a filter that has carbon molecules and by making air pass through it. Carbon is perhaps the most complex element in nature and its versatility is presented through carbon filters.

hello ppl ,,
While i was going to my local pet shop to get some active carbon for my diy filter i stopped at a lighting store just to check out some cool white cfls to complete my hps lighting and i found some 25 watt cfls which the seller claimed they purify air remove odours eliminate dust particles etc so i bough 2 just to try.. anyone tried em before?

They will help remove household odors but you will be screwed if that is the only odor control you have for you buds.

Thanks for the info!!!!

maybe for a single plant. But for alot of grows that is like a band-aid on a bullet wound.
