Just about to order some activated carbon for my pc fans since I tried an odor control which just enhances the smell of my plants lol. It contains up to 40% by weight of activated carbon polyester matrix.. is this good enough and will my pc fans be able to suck through that?

A PC fan is not going to even come close. You need something like a 10" fan to really move some air. In the DIY section I have a thread on making an activated charcoal filter that worked great and it's dirt cheap.

Hmm, I've seen people use carbon filter for their pc fans tho. My grow box is 69x55x28cm so its quite small.
I'm gonna be using activated carbon filter clothe, like the stuff you can cut out.
