I’m running a 4in carbon filter in my 3x3x5. Some days I swear I smell lil something other days no. That being said you get used too the smell and when fresh noses come in is the true test
I think I’m gonna buy one more filter to put on exhaust side of fan or is that not a good idea?

It's really a lot more important to use it and create negative pressure inside the tent and pull THROUGH the filter.
You know the brand, price, and where ya bought it?

I'd bet he smells it. I hope he doesn't and those vivosuns being significantly cheaper would be a better option than some of the / prices you can pay.

Man, most people say diy filters don’t work..... mine does. I’ve had “smell testers” no one smells NOTHING and I have a bunch of plants in late flower. It takes money and time up front but the dividends are worth it. I can change my carbon out when needed.

I haven’t spoke in detail about the one that I built online. But The true secret is Square inches of surface area not the depth of your carbon. Most store-bought or manufactured carbon filters Aren’t that thick and that’s because most fans can’t push through more than 2 1/2 inches or so of carbon

Hi guys, i'am planning my first grow and where i live there is no activated carbon filter for sell and buying online is not an option, so just want to ask if the DIY scrubber do they really work ? or is it a waste of time ? can't take risk with my grow and am really tired of buying overpriced shitty hash want to grow mine. Thanks for the help.

The country where i live custom are the biggest scammer, i will end up paying three time the price + the delivery itself will cost more then the scrubber, and the worst is it will raise too many questions, man i wish i live where it's legal to grow. :(

Yeah i found activated carbon here, the inline fan and all the others supplies, but i want to know if it will work like the professional ones given the design is good ?

It should do yeah, the difference between a cheap filter and a good one is mostly how well its packed. If there are gaps in the carbon because of lack of quality control then it doesn't work.

Take your time to fill it and vibrate it down, maybe on a washing machine or something.
 
Not sure if it's been mentioned in this lengthy thread but zeolite (a volcanic mineral) is great for absorbing odors and moisture. There's no shortage of it on Amazon. On a related note, scientists have found that incorporating zeolite into soil also has many benefits that aren't related to odor control. Google 'zeolite and cannabis'.

Hey buddy you can build a carbon filter that will work. The trick is to keep the carbon no thicker than about 2 inches. The longer the tube the better.

Interesting... thanks for mentioning.
 
Hi guys! Has anyone of you ever tried Ram filters? It's difficult to find Rhino or Phresh filter where I live and to order them the shipping fee it's 50 to 60% of the filter's value.
So, do you have any feedback about those filters?
