good to see new ideas, but to me a big risk to take/
just get a filter and your mind will be at ease,only takes rippers to smell or if ya doing this on the edge like most are then is it worth it

The filter was a failure. It maybe would have worked before I upgraded fans, but not with the current higher CFM fan. I even completely opened the ends like others suggested. It still lugged the new fan down too much.

Learning experience for a few dollars.

Wasn't because of the Scotch Pad though.

Oh, and after 3 weeks of growing it's getting a little "sour" smelling in the room I am venting into. I have ordered a "proper" carbon filter.

My "proper" filter came in, and it cleaned up my "sour" smell in about 2 hours. It was getting bad enough that I could smell it when I opened the front door to my house (grow is in the basement). Who would have thunk it?
