Since everything that is DIY is pretty much prohibited on these forums, this is not dangerous in any way, and I have an urge to help out so here goes:

i have looked at many diy filters and i am able to spend $$250-325 on filter and fan but i wish that would help me on my main problem can i just put a fan and scrubber up in the middle of the room and it will work or do i need to vent it out somewhere... i would send pics of my room but for some reason it wont let me on this thread but u can find my room setup here

Whatever you do, don't spend your money yet haha. I mean you could have the air vented back in the room, so that the air basically loops, but the problem with that is you will only be venting o2 back in to the air, which will not help the growth of your plants. You want CO2 back in the air, by filtering it outside, it will create a continuous vacuum outside the room so while air is getting sucked out, there will be fresh air going in the room somewhere (somehow). Carbon will bind with the smelly air and extract out non-less smelly air.

I think you should vent it outside somewhere or at least in to another room if possible. It will eliminate smell, but, like I said you will need air enriched with CO2. CO2 to people = bad because we extract that as waste and use oxygen, plants are the opposite, oxygen = plant waste, and CO2 as food.

How about venting out a window? Not very stealthy but it is an option.

[johnnyblaze326]

would i be able to vent back into the AC vent ..and still have the ac kick on and off or is that just defeating the point

You could do that, you will have a mix of CO2 and O2 at the same time, which is alot better than all O2.
