Carbon filter / stop smell..

[Ausguy]

I know nothing about carbon filters or whatnot, is there a way that you can make them homemade? Or is there another way of filtering the smell other than exhusting the air fromt he chamber straight outside?

Cheers

DIY CARBON FILTER ROUND 2
DIY- Inexpensive odour neutraliser

I've never build the Round 2 carbon filter, but I've build a scrubber like the one in the link smpaz gave you, as well as the second one I listed here. They both work great, but I prefer not to mask odors... so I stick with the filter. Never given me any problems, but the activated carbon may need to be changed more frequently than a larger, prefabricated one. I'm now hearing some people say that theirs has been going strong for several years. I'm lucky to make it two years before I have to change out the carbon. Still, it's not a difficult process.

Ah cheers man,

I was just reading about the carbon filter;
Do I push air through it (the filter is outside thr grow room having the smell pushed through it disapating into outside air)
or
Do i pull air into it (the filter is inside the grow room and the air inside [smell] is being pulled into the filter and exhusted into the air outside.

Or can it be done either way? :P

Thanks for all the help

It can be done either way, but the most efficient way I've found is to attach the filter to your exhaust so that air is being pulled through it, as opposed to having to push it through. I guess it really depends on your setup, but this is what works best for me.
