Its pretty sweet how you try to flip it around where its somebody elses problem & not the way you talk to people.

Re read your posts & try & figure out why you come off as a sarcastic person.

Hey Widow....

I agree ... Pan's idea is great and wonderfully economic!!!

If you have a sewing machine use it... it goes much faster.

I made one... and I also sewed in some velcro to make the changing of AC easier. I attached a picture of the one I copied from Pan's design... with my added velcro.

Took me about 10 minutes to make.... which included rethreading a bobbin :)

Gee... we're all crushed..... NOT! This thread is about a cheap, easy to make Active Carbon filter PERIOD! There are a lot of people here who have little money to spend or just have a very small grow and don't need anything costly or elaborate.

Panhead's idea is great and a lot of people are already reporting that it is working in their garden. For you to come in at the end of the thread and post... "NOPE IT WON'T WORK ... you have the wrong type of carbon" was just wrong. Your post reeked of "I'm a know-it-all".... and NO ONE likes a "know-it-all"

If you search here you will see there are lots of threads about more expensive elaborate canister carbon filters and how to make them so no one is hurting by you not posting yours. Your statement about withholding your design because we are uptight was VERY immature!

Additionally, I seriously doubt your canister design cost $3.00 to make so this wasn't the thread to post it in anyway! Go make your own thread and post your design. People will read it and likely love it and give you props. This simply wasn't the place for you to put it.

Good luck :peace:

:-|i hope u guys can agree on sum thing,and stop figthing.

I used this method and it worx.But wut maybe i sholud have mentioned was,im using it on a small grow box with only 2 plants in it.Thats all the filtration i need for now.I agree with panhead this works to a piont.

But i agree with garywanna too.Maybe vapor carbon could improve it even more? iunno?

Do u think i could buy filters for a pianters mask.Take them apart and empty them in the sown bad design panhead had.

Then im using both ur guys ideas.And maybe we can live in peace.

Iunno im more about learning and making new designs and talking and learn with others.

The problem was not with the idea or any critisisim,it was with the presentation.

The guy's pretty cocky to say the least.

You could even make circle ones for inside of the ducting. That's prob. what my application of this idea will amount to. It just seems like more people would need a round version of a filter. I don't know, maybe not, but for some reason it seems like there's more round ventilation than square. Maybe both?

can you rince the home made carbon filter off and reuse it? will it remove the smell again or do you have to throw it away and make new ones?

Thats a good question & one i never thought of,im not sure if rinsing it under water or letting it soak would reactivate the carbon but it's worth a shot.

I have taken my filters from their locations from time to time to clean the dust from the outside of them with a wisk broom but ive yet to find out when they start releasing smell,im on 4 months right now with no smell.

My plan was, once they start to smell, to smash up the carbon with a hammer, but now that you mention rinsing them i'll try to rinse half of them,then smash the carbon in the others.

Good idea frost.

No real need to over think or to make fancy round filters as long as your planning on using them on the outside of an exhaust pipe,you simply make the square filter larger than the pipe & secure using a standard hose clamp found at any hardware,auto parts or home depot.

A real lazy guy could make this work using a standard paper stapler instead of sewing.
