alright now i have a few question if anyone can help

I got a 4x4x8 closet that i have closed off and made a sercret door. I have a 400watt hps cooltube for lighting. I am using 2 four inch fans rated at 110 cfm each. One attached to my light and the other jus gettin air out. My room has 128 cubic feet of air.

I am one month into vegatation with 12 plants and about to go into flowering. I got good ventilation. but no odor control. which is starting to be a prob.

OKAY SO HERE IS THE DEAL


I' ve been thinking on how to setup my odor control I already kno i need to get a carbon filter so my question is


How would i vent the carbon Filter? With my light or serprate i heard just a carbon filter with a fan in the middle of the room?

Will the 110 CFM fan be strong enough to bring air through the filter? i have two so thats a total of 220 Cfm?

thank you for even looking and trying to help I appreciate it greatly.:joint::joint:

you can build a carbon filter fairly easily. what i did was buy a 6 inch inline exhaust fan from htgsupply, like 30$ or so. you need to get some activated carbon replacement filter sheets, a 6 inch end cap for ducting, some decently stout screen, and some duct tape. take the intake end of the exhaust fan and the end cap and line them up. then tape the screen to both and wrap the screen around to enclose it, tape it securely, then wrap your carbon filter around that, and tape it securely. install the fan and attatched filter in the back of your grow room, away from where your new air will be coming in, so it pulls through the room. my room is 6x6x8 and it keeps it ventilated and helps with the smell. mostly i installed mine to keep my exhausted air from giving me away. but it does help with the smell in the adjoining room too.

heres a pic of my filter/fan installed. i have it exhausting out to the peak of my house.

there is a thread somewhere on here that i used to build this thing. its more detailed
