no, fans work better pulling the air though the filter

I just made one of these today, so far its been running about and hour and ive noticed a sig decrease of smell from my 7flowering ladies (week 2)
I shortened mine up an inch or two but thats about it. I just got a small 4" inline fan pushing 80cfm, which seems to be working well. my room is only 4x3x8 so thats just about a full air filter every min...

this is exactly what iv been looking for. this belongs in the grow FAQs. thanks again. BURN IT:hippy:

Are you using the Sea of Green technique on your plants or is it just one plant with many branches?

Story, great tutorial and great looking end product. I built a filter a while back and it did work very well for a few days, but then it stopped working.. Wasn't sure about the carbon quality really, I got it in a pet shop here in Ireland.
Just said activated carbon on the front and had hard little cylindrical pellets of carbon inside. Only about a pound in the pack like.Any ideas? I guess I'll just keep trying to find different brands..Anyone have similar experience?
Turns out Skunk #1 is one of the smelliest strains btw, should've checked first..lol.
Thanks
Edit- It was Supa brand carbon btw.

Worked like a charm for me! Filled it with fresh step kitty litter. Instead of using pantyhose over the outside layer I used the 1/8" thick carbon filter from Lowes.

any how 2's to build a reflector 4 a 400 mh ballast a buddy doesnt have much cash flow but can make it at work 4 free???

If i used the following in-line duct fan how would i safely do the wiring so i can plug it in like a normal US plug?

Amazon.com: 6-Inch 110VAC 250 CFM In-Line Duct Booster Fan: Electronics

I just have never wired a fan and im worried about fire hazards.

:thumbsup: just one question as im a noob. where does the filter go in relation to intake/outake/fan setup ?

After the filter. so the air is being pulled through.
