I'm seriously considering doing the same thing, my carbon filter is a failry standard cannister type filter... I'll see if I can gently 'bust' the top off and see if it's viable to refill it duct tape it back up and re-use it!

Interesting, it's a bit of a minefield buying a filter, it seems, hence my interest in buying one that can be re-filled, as they are not exactly cheap for a tiny tent like mine! At least then the filter is only as good as the carbon granuels/pellets it's re-filled with, just seems a bit of a...

Well thats the thing, I cant detect the smell very well, as I get accustomed to it! I only do 3 or 4 plants at a time, and vent into the loft above the grow room.

I've got a 6" electronically commutated extractor fan (inline), so I'm good on that front; https://drgreens.co.uk/product/mammoth-juiced-ec-fans/ Filter I think is this one, but it's over 12 months old now, only one grow, though...

Thanks...do you have a link to the product? a quick search isnt showing up much ...

One more question, I'm currently set up like the pic on the left, but to make more space in the tent, I want to swap it round like the pic on the right.. Anyone have opinions on this? I can't see it would make any difference to filtration?

Nice, that looks perfect!

I've got a standard canister type filter purely for exhaust smell, it's oversized for my space 1x1x1.2 but I'm consious I'll need to replace it, but I'm desensitized to the smell! Replacing them every year or two gets expensive, are there any that are servicable/re-fillable? Also any good way...

Holy topic resurection, Batman! So Ive got some chemsan home brew kit cleaner (phosphoric acid)... But I've also found this https://www.doctorblooms.co.uk/athena-cleanse-1620689.html which contains hypochlorous acids it's VERY expensive though... What's best for a pre-grow clean of water...

why are they wrapped in plastic?

Lovely pic, looks awesome! bUT... changing out buckets of water with finding a way to support plants while bucket change etc. You can just use a hose and a pump to drain out the rez, and flip it backwards to re-fill...you can just leave the plants in situ. That's what I do..I have a bath tub...

I guess most people here are US/CA, so maybe no rellevant, but I use Shogun ferts in the UK, mostly as they are widley available but... ..they do ferts for hard water and soft water (plus or minus cal-mag I guess), and also different ferts for hydro/coco/soil...

Thats fine. Not too dry, not too wet. Maybe a tiny bit too humid but it's all about keeping it in a sensible range rather than going crazy chasing a number. When you start budding you might want to lower a little bit more, depending on how thic your buds are, but don't over think it,. More...

yeah that's like 18c at night which is fine, it's the humidity you need to keep an eye on. There's nothing wrong visually with those plants, they are plants, they dont grow in perfect symetry. The biggest problem for new growers is thinking too much and doing drastic things that make it worse.

Yes, but keep an eye on humidity, as the plants get bigger they will produce some humidity. What I did was put my fans on a cheap timer, the ones that have 15min segments, so you can have it 100% on during lights on, and then stagger it on/off as needed during lights out.

are you running sterile or organic? if sterile i'd suggest hydrogen peroxide.

Don't over think it, when the plants are so small they are not going to dry out in an hour, just make sure you don't disturb the roots if you can help it. When the plants are much bigger in DWC, in a shared rez, you can't pull them out without causing a lot of stress and damage to the roots...

First of all, congratulations on getting a slug into a Hydrophonic set-up. It looks a little bit like a leech rather than a slug, though. I have more questions than answers at this stage, lol! bongsmilie

I use a pre-emptive maitnenence dose of hydrogen peroxide every week or so into the water, as it breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen after a while. For root plugs I use https://www.hydrodynamicsintl.com/root-riot-plant-starter-cubes-guide/ which I quess is the same thing as rapid rooters?

Then refit with LED lights... they use a lot less power and give off so little heat you'll be worried about getting too cold rather than too hot.
