Can I put my HEPA air filter in my drying closet?

I don't have an extra fan for air circulation in my drying closet so I was thinking I'd stick my air filter in there. The air outtake is pretty strong so I thought it would work for air circulation AND help with the stink.

Probably a good idea. Especially if you could attach tubing to the filter's exhaust port, probably using duct tape, and that way you'll get the air out. I don't know how much humidity the filter would absorb, however. If you really want to dry quickly and plan on growing more, then you might consider investing in a dehumidifier or get some of the moisture-absorbing crystals that I think are sold at hardware stores or just look that up on the web. You can buy a material and put it in a bowl and they pull moisture out of the air. A dehumidifier would work best but is not really necessary. You don't need to do anything but you'll end of waiting longer for things to dry. If you live in a very humid area, then a dehumidifier would be great.
