Carbon filter ?

[Guest]

Hello every1,Just wondering if you can put a carbon filter on the outside of a grow room after the outlet fan or does it need to be b4 Thanks

I am no expert but from what I have read and been told as long as the air has only one way to travel into the carbon filter from the grow room ( in ducting or whatever ) then the carbon filter can still do it's job.

 

when you asked earlier I missunderstood I thought you wanted to clean the air of the room outside the grow room thats why I said that I didn't know if it would be that effective for what you wanted as a small amount of clean air would be recirculated into the large amount of bad air in a room

u must have a fan to pump the odor into the carbon air scrubber and make sure u have a small hole about ten cent piece so t can suck clean air into the grow room

 

hope this helps!

remember carbon ONLY cleans the air that passes through the carbon. Carbon also is only good with LOW humidity.

It wont keep your room smell free,

It will make the air leaving the grow room less smelly though, and if thats the goal then its all good.

 

 

I suggest an ozone generator as it destroys ANY smells and also kill inscet eggs like spider mites etc.

Im growing dope not cooking speed ozone is dangerous imho and not worth the risk just for a bit of weed not worth the risk

Ive spoken to a few hydro shops and they said for small grows use ozone for a bigger grow use carbon they all said carbon was better removed odors 100% compared to ozone 96% ozone is shit imho

Ozone gen definatly have there place in the world but the fact you can't run them all the time is definatly a big down side I have not been doing this very lonmg at all but I don't think ozone can be good for your mj plants in large amounts or yourself even where as carbon is a clean effective altrernative

 

thats just MHO ofcourse to each there own I guess it comes down to what your willing to spend but then again you could make your own carbon filter and save yourself allot

I use ozone but yea im a little scared of it and I wouldnt put in in my inlet just incase, But it works well in my setup which has a built in robe with the fan directly mounted to the ceiling inside the robe.

Above this I have the ozone, So what its doing is killing the smell in the roof.

 

It works good for me too, I have another fan in my kitchen and I cant smell anything in their WHEN the ozone is turned on.

One day I had turned it off and forgot to plug it back in, When I got home the house stank of weed so bad that we had to open all the windows and doors.

 

So it's up to you really, but ozone was the easiest and cheapest alternative for me at the time.

I have considered trying carbon, but why spend the $ if ozone works?

also How do you mount the carbon filters as the big ones I have seen have been huge monsters of things.

Alot of hydro shops that I spoke to said that carbon becomes useless in too much humidity and the ozone keeps working?
