But ghetto? Naaahhhhhh....

If it was ghetto it'd have 4 didfferent colors of tape and some old rags to make that seal.

Very nice c.o.g....the sort of affair the small personal grower should have.

:thumbsup:

very creative...what all did u use to make it and how if u dont mind me askin

[c of green]

basic 5 dollar fan walmart,5 dollar pack of fish tank carbon......poke a bunch of holes and tape them together....i actually used the fans box to make the connecter.i have the fan blowing through due to not being able to remove the stand from the back of the fan.:thumbsup:

Have u tested it out when your plants are in flowering because that's when it starts to stink! If it works then I might give that a try because I have a small closet too and is going to try a 8plant grow on my next one.. Hopefully ur idea works for me as well?

the smell was bad enough that i could smell them through 3 doors and as many rooms now i can open the door to my cab and cant smell them so i would say it works.i am starting to flower tonight so look on here in a few and i will let you know if it is still working

i did change it a little....i cut the bottom off the carbon container,emptied it,placed a soda can ,with shitload of holes poked in it of course,inside it and surrounded that with the carbon that way i would get more airflow with my little fan plus that IS how they are really made and taped the bottom back on.had to put the bottom on backwards to keep the carbon from moving around.

That's amazing, looks like I'm going to have to make one.

So do you just leave it hanging in your grow space and let it run? It takes the frangrance from the air surrounding the plant and absorbs it odors that way?

Where is the best place to position the filter? I have a similar growspace and a few small fans.

Hey this is c of greens wife. As to your question KNVB yes hes just got a hook on the top of the cabnet that the fan and filter itself are hanging from right above the plants right next to the lights. And so far we have not walked into the house and had a problem with it smelling :-) And there is only 1 fan in that area connected to the filter. At night he's been leaving the door open with another small clip on fan. But the one that he has now works great!:thumbsup:

sweet stuff. my buddies just built an inline carbon filter for their setup. Its 4" ducting and an inline 180cfm fan pulling air out of a 3x4 room that has a 1000watt. It is essentially just some 4" duct adaptors slid together and taped, filled with activated carbon from an aquarium shop, and capped on both ends by some duct filters. They are only 2 weeks into budding so the smell isnt very strong yet, but already it makes a considerable difference. It can be easily refilled as well.

Well he put a new light in the cabnet and it melted the old one. But we fixed a new one out of a cottage cheese bowl. poked holes all around, cut a small hole out the bottom, put a dryersheet over it, put an aluminum can with holes punched in that as well and charcol all around it and taped up. The filter is working wonderfully. No smell and the plants appriciate it as well I would say. :thumbsup: any questions just ask em.

well,this post is getting pretty old but i ran into it so i figured i would let you all know that i made a how to in basic growing,should have put it in here but.................:stoned: it is only titled with a ?(oops,should have named it better but i was in a hurry)check it out.

but anyway it worked well,though it wasn't quite powerful enough to kill all the scent of some of my outdoor harvest.....of course it wasn't very close to it.it is doing a great job with the indoor harvest though because it is right next to them:thumbsup:

Take a few more pics and explain this a little better for me? I need a carbon filter badly. My plants are starting to REEK oh so wonderfully.

[orangeman]

Wow that thing really works? I might have to try that and see how far I can get with it :p.

[smokin dope]

ya c of green, you should post some pics and desribe the process of making it again, i cant seem to figure out zandors, he needs pics in my opinion, ive tried it twice and cant get his figured out...

[c of green]
