Odor Control in an Apartment

You can run a Sok at either end, or at both ends, if your fan is strong enough. I may add a second sok to the intake end of my bloom chamber exhaust.

Are socks not as restrictive as charcoal can filters? I know my 6" 420 CFM inline fan wouldn't be able to handle a filter on the intake and the exhaust side of the fan.

Maybe it would but I question if I would still be able to exchange the air fast enough in the room at that point.

I'm going to say that Soks are less restrictive. But here's the thing with fans: They have a nominal CFM. Now, the ability to MAINTAIN that speed with backpressure or vacuum from a filter at one end will vary by the quality of the fan, not just the type of filter. So your average 'duct booster fan', while it's fine for some small applications, cannot run a filter.

Sorry D I had to go train a grad student- that's why I vanished for a while lol.

Why would Anyone put a carbon filter on the intake Side that doesn't do anything? I would opt to just run a larger/longer canister on the exhaust side.

Consider a carbon filter http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-gr...ed-carbon.html

The fan will work as hard sucking or blowing. I can't believe I said that...

Anyway, the thought that applying a device at the intake end id more work than at the exhaust end is a myth. Think of it. Same physics either way. Unless the air conduit / hose is easily crushed.
