The Good The Bad & The Ugly

Heres a spot to put up reviews of gear that have helped or they hurt you etc

I find every time I try to be cheap n save a little $$$ it usually bites me in the ass.

I picked up a 4x16” Chinese carbon filter for my drying tent, I didn’t get 2 months out of it,
It’s starting to smell again.

What’s the best carbon filter?
I use Can lite filter in my flowering , and it works good. But it’s like 4’ long n 14” across

I use a 6x24" Phresh Filter, works great for me. That is for my 4 x 4 x 6.5 tent. Just started my third grow with this one and expect to finish it before I have change it out.

My tent is the same size
How many months do you get out of it?

I change it out last spring before I started my summer/fall grow seeds in April, flipped in early June , grew that G13 grow and then the falls LSD grow. That is 10 months and I have the next grow in the tent now. I will more than likely change the filter after this grow.

I bought a Quest Dual 105 Dehumitifer
Wow. Just wow. Very Quiet too.

It replaced a Drieaz 1200, pulls 2x as much water, runs about 75% less n pull half the amps when working .

I'm in a 5x5x7 running a 440cfm vivosun inline fan (great customer service, fan started making noise and they sent a new one out the day after receiving my email.. no questions asked) with a 6" apollo horticulture carbon scrubber. Zero smell and have been using this filter for almost a year now.
Cheap but very effective.
