Whatsup oldmandroman,
Im growing 2 White Widow, Headband, and Strawberry Diesel. I just started Flowering a week ago. I can kinda smell like a musty plant smell but thats it. Def smells bomb when I touch it though. What do you mean by good and bad? Whats the bad part of not smelling the plant?

Hi all, great thread! I was just wondering -- I saw a diy carbon filter somewhere on RIU that I think was made from an air filter for a car. I've been searching to find it again, and I'm not having any luck. Any help would be appreciated.

Great if it works for you. I had a terrible time with it and then just coughed up the cash for a real carbon filter. But if you can get this to work, seems like it should.

you know what sucks too is that even if you have somewhat cool neighbors that smoke or just party,, there is a big chance that if they smell it you can come home one day and find out that harvest came early and you didnt do it... happened to a friend of mine.. sucks,, damm thiefs.

My first grow, I've got 2 girls a week into flowering. Lowryder & Aurora B in a tiny sized closet. I've got a cool tube venting into the attic & planning to put another 6in booter fan in the ceiling as heat still collects at the top of the closet and it's going to start stinking soon.
Will the stankyness going into the attic w/o a filter be smellable outside the house?
Is smellable even a word?

I did it and you couldnt smell anything outside MY house,,, but u will have to caulk all vents, lights, ceiling fans and any openings in your ceiling anywhere in your house as the smell will get thru there,,,,,,,, just my experience......

Lol pay $300 for something that cost you maybe $50. I use a 1 inch think layer in mine and it has a massive surface to make sure the draw is slow to fillter out near any smell.
I used 3 laundry bucket for mine. 2 buckets have the arse's cut out those ends are the base for the filter. It has a 1 ft x 8 inch dai outtacage, 1 ft x 6 inch dai inner cage. The inner cage has a outta fly screen metal cage and the outta 8 inch dia a inner cage of metal fly mesh. 1" from the top is filled with hot glue to componsate for the activate carbon settling and sinking over time so no air can pass through with out being passed through the carbon. 3 thread 1/4" rods pass through the centre to hold it togher. These rods also go up into the top bucket where a 25cm dai desk fan is mounted onto them which sits in a bucket. This acts like a inline fan. My srubber rocks is all i can say and i can replace the actiavte carbon as soon as i feel its not doing its job for a cost of $15.
The key is to have a large surface area with a good thinkness of filter carbon, this makes sure the carbon can remove the smell.
The next one i make will be a cube setup up like a evopartive air connditioner using an inverted ceiling fan XD

hey guys I was thinking about making this DIY carbon filter Inspired by a friend. The cylinder with the screen around it is a cricket cage I got at walmart for $4. Then I bought the vent filters for $3. I am going to line the inside of the cricket cage with the vent filters. then Im going to fill it with activated carbon, and put something like panty hoes to cover up the hole. then Ill just attach it to the set up with some heavy duty tape or something.
Hey guys, ive been reading through this, and other similar posts and am just wondering if a carbon filter can guarantee an odourless grow.
Is this easier said than done, or would alot of ventilation be required for something like this (im thinking of growing in the cellar of my garage - a 3m by 3m concrete walled room)
cheers

Carbon filters work pretty well, I have a small one I would use in my room, if I didnt my room and house would smell sooo bad. There really easy to install and not much ventilation to deal with. How many plants are you gonna grow? If your in a cellar growing a few plants it might not smell that much. Im doing 4 right now and I dont have to use a carbon filter. I might in a few weeks towards the end of flowering tho but so far so good.
Thanks for the reply man.
Uhm im just about as beginner of a grower as you can get, still researching into the materials etc before i buy myself equiptment and a setup and so forth.
I've been told that properly stored seeds can last up to 3 years, in which case i'd buy some seeds try germinate a couple, and grow one in my backyard, and one in the cellar (just to start things off). Well at least thats the plan.
I really am clueless at this point to a number of things, but this really has become my passion recently so hopefully i can pick up the knowledge and skills quick.
Anyways thanks for replying again, its wonderful to have so many helpful people on forums such as these.
Sorry if im sidetracking from your original question, but i have in mind to grow one plant to see how it goes, then maybe a larger setup with 10 plants perhaps.

Thats sounds perfect. You prolly wont even need a carbon filter just a few air fresheners. I think you can store seeds in the freezer/refrig if Im not mistaken. Im sure youll do fine man, as long as your here your gonna meet a lot of helpful people. Its addicting dude your never gonna wanna stop once you get going haha.

You are going to use an exhaust pipe for a car in your grow? I don't get it.Thanks for the info on the DIY. My neighbor has a car with one of those carbon fiber fart pipes for sound i think i shall try and use that.... man i hate how those cars sound...

I've heard things about the Ozone and Ion methods possibly being harmful to your plants, so i just thought i would post a link that helped me extraordinarily.
