the "activated" of activated charcoal means charcoal that has been exposed to a chemical or process like described above which increases the effective surface area by some moderate percentage.. I understand that this may be critical in efficiency ratings of expensive fish tank setups but for getting dank odor out of the air I dont think the difference will be worth the cost. *I could be wrong..

I just ordered a charcoal filter and i have a bag of kingsford sitting here.. although I would highly reccomend you dont use the "match light" or "lighterfluid not req" versions since that would be.. stupid.

I have good ole hard as hell to light plain jane charcoal and Im going to bash it up.. wash it off in the bathtub.. then refill my filter with it.. which as I understand may not last as long as "activated" charcoal but should have the same effectiveness for maybe (Im hoping) at least half the life of activated.

If so it will be my new solution to odor control.. cuz activated is expensive!!
Aaron385 Reviewed by Aaron385 on . Odor Question Hey, I'm new to growing and am growing two plants in an enclosed area. They are very young (5 days), I am wondering how strong they will be when they are flowering and what to expect? What precautions do I need to take? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks....
