i have seen some how to carbon filter threads but the average cost after the fan is $150+.i am getting ready to build another 10$ carbon filter and was wondering if you would like a how to?it is good for a small cab grow or a drying room.i currently have one in my veg with 18 plants...cant smell a thing unless i put my nose to the plant(then it is quite potent)

[peace plz]

do it up man! id love to know how to make a cheap carbon filter.

[c of green]

it will be done then.i am gonna go ahead and post it on this thred so be looking.should be tomorrow.(gotta get tape:)

[c of green]

well my mother ended up dragging(literally)me to the bar. i will post it tomorrow.seriously

[peace plz]

hahaha, mother dragging you to the bar. oh what a terrible and hard life you must live. jk lol

cant wait to see this.

materials
fan 4.99 or 5.99 i don't remember:stoned:
fish tank carbon 5.00(ish)
2 liter bottle
24 once beer can
tape(i recomend electrical tape but did this one with automotive hose tape)
scissors

[c of green]

now poke a bunch of holes in the bottle and can.and cut the top off of both.and cut the bottom also off of the bottle...not the can!!
you will need to save the top and bottom to the bottle so don't cut it up real bad.

[c of green]

cut slits in the bottle so you can get it around the fan.
add tape

[c of green]

now cut slits into the top of the can and fold them out.
place top of bottle on can top and mark out where the top of the can hits the bottle.(you may want to cut a little above the top since it is easier to trim more than it is to add to where you cut off to much.
slide can through bottle top so that the flaps of the can are on the outside.
add tape
then slide it down into the bottle(this may take a little effort to do without bending up the can so take your time with it

[c of green]

add the carbon
now you need something to put around the top of the carbon.i used a swiffer cloth
now put the bottom of the bottle back on.i put it on upside down because it gives you more options on how far down you put it.you want it to touch the can
add tape

[c of green]

completed filter
i have the fan pushing rather than pulling through it but either way works fine.

i have used a fiter a little smaller than this in a cabinet with 4 plants in it with great success



took around a half an hour

Thanks, I am going to try this...!

[stinkyattic]

I really like this and I tried to give you props for it... I guess I have to give someone else props first because I gave you rep too recently... but you deserve it! That's a neat filter.

I gave c of green rep...is this a new feature of the website, I didn't notice until a day or two ago...also has anyone noticed how long it takes to show? I looked around but couldn't find? S

[c of green]

the rep thing is new to me but if you find someone that was on OG then they should know...i guess they had the same thing.
and thanks to all that read this and respond
if you make one come back and let me know how it works for you.
thanks

now to go finish cleaning my pipe.

[busteruk7]

excellent completely brilliant
i might try to make one on a bigger scale tho !!!!
thanks c of green
cheers all :)

[c of green]

yeah i have been thinking about making one out of a box fan.it'll take about 30 packs of carbon....but can you imagine the size room one could clean with that and should only cost 50$ or so

[busteruk7]

sounds good post piccys if you do decide to make one
im definatly gonna make one, you've got me thinking now what materials have i got lyeing around lol
cheers all :)

[c of green]

i wish i could change the title to this thread..the ? just doesn't quite cover it.

and i forgot to say that you may want to put a nylon(pantyhose)around it if you have the fan pushing.....i just didn't have one so i didn't think about it

[Completely Stoned]

explain the part about putting the bottom the 2 liter bottle back on a little better for me? I need to use this idea for my own cab. I'm absolutely thrilled to build my own. Your idea is MAGNIFICENT! (bows at feet)

[c of green]

jsut put the bottom of the bottle in the opening of the filter.but put it in upside down so thatit will rest on the carbon and the cut part should match somewhat with the cut part of the rest of the bottle.

[c of green]

why am i getting so much negative feedback from this thread?hell one person gave me negative but then complimented me....anyway

[c of green]

update......this doesn't seem to work to well in a large room even with only a few plants in it,due to the fact that it can't move alot of air.it can't even kill the vegging smell in my room where i have 28 plants.but worked great in my cabinet and closet where i was flowering and drying 4 plants.Of course it is possible that i need to change the carbon...it is about 6 or 7 months old.when i do that i will let you know if things improve.

[c of green]

changed the carbon.......much better
