I have read your threads on how to make a carbon filter and I think I understand it, but I am confused on how to connect your fan to the filter. I am using this for a shed which is 6*7 feet, and 5 feet high so I figure I need
210 cfm for exhaust? But yah how would i connect that filter to a fan.

Well it's all inside of a wood box for one thing. If you use a bathroom fan (fart fan) mount them as normal and add a power cord. You need a space between the air-in of the fart fan and the filters (about 6-8") that will create a vortex type of air flow where you will use a larger surface area of the filter and prolong it's life. IF you are installing it in the roof then just build the box in the roof. The rest is the same you can vent it outside or bring the scrubber air back into the room.

Make sense?

yes i think it does. I wont actually be doing anything for this grow until my refund from insidesun comes, which will probably be in a month or maybe 2.

What I am planning for this grow is doing a single 400 watt setup, probably do 5-10 plants. I'm getting a heater for this,a few oscillating fans, the carbon filter/fart fan for exhaust and passive intake. I have 2 ballasts with 4 cool white fluro tubes total for supplemental side lighting. I have 2 different types of bat guano 1 for veg,1 for flower and superthrive.Im going to just use some soil from walmart and have about 30% perlite, r.o. culligan style water. After this if all goes well I should have some money and will get a 1000 watt system, air cooled with hortilux bulb (www.progressive-growth.com), some advanced nutrients, an AC system and mylar everything.(the walls are white now.)

So does this sound like a plan or what Z?

Oh and i forgot to mention that I will have a timer and digital thermo/hygro meter ordered from trichome creator(IF IT EVER GETS HERE)

After you get that up and running by your third round you can think about CO² and grow real big.

I sent you an e-mail on that buddy. Your money is on it's way back to you because my bank wants over 50% of what you sent in Canadian Dollars to transfer it to U.S. Dollars. I sent a note with it too.
