Hi, I have a small grow box (1'x1.5'x2.5'ish) and I,m on my first grow. Its a small box and I'd like to start a second plant. Would it be OK to place my carbon filter at the end of line (and blow the air through) or would I be better off leaving it in the box, security being important to me

Suck air, not blow through filters.

Leave it in the box. Hang it with some bungee cords from the top and suck air through it--exhaust. Heat rises

Just testing it outside the box at the moment to see what temps are like. The box is very small and its a pain in the ass to get the plant out to water it. No room to hang it either i'm afraid. Plant is currrently 8 days old so no smell yet, just want to see what effect it has on temps. Probably be able to keep 2 plants in there too 4 weeks apart, only doing autos so on 24/7

if you want the filer outside then you need your fan outside too sucking air through the filter

fan - filter - duct at the top of your growing space
