Micro carbon filter. Help!!!

[FreedomFighter2014]

Thanks to all for taking the time to view my thread.
I am doing a micro grow with dual PC cases connected. I have a 80mm & 120mm fans. l Bought some cut to fit carbon filter to neutralize the odor and its fairly thin, but still to thick to pull air through by the fans. I have heard of using pine-sol in a table fountain in the grow room. But I want to eliminate the smell not mask it. Since the micro grow is in a closet were clothes are kept. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'd get the smallest scrubber and fan you can find and mount it outside the case.

I thought of doing a DIY carbon filter for it and the forums I have read said it doesn't work

Then why did you try it?

I didn't I thought of doing it but decided against it after reading some forms. The carbon pre-filter was a shot in the dark.

Have you looked at Ona?

A good built diy scrubber is easy, but it is usually the fans that are the weak link...most pc fans have terrible back pressure.....

I made a scrubber years ago for a similar grow, that measured roughly 4" x 4" with a 3" opening for a 12v 90mm dc blower, it had about 2 inches/millibars etc of back pressure....... even good pc fans have .25-.50 inches of pressure on a good day....

No I have never heard of Ona. So you just set it in the area and it neutralizes the smell?

Yep, although, a fan blowing it around probably helps the best....I know of several examples of Ona being used here in the micro threads over the years...

Cheap and easily replaceable, might be a go between now, until you figure out what kind of filter you could afford or make....

Definitely will work. Thanks.

Read up on Ona. It has a strong perfume smell to it, that can change the smell and taste of your bud. So obviously you wouldn't put it in the pc case. I didn't know if you were thinking about putting it in the closet, or the room the closet is in. If the ona is in the closet, and that is the same area the pc case is drawing air from, it might affect the plants. Maybe not. Not that ona smells 'bad', it's just really strong. Overpowering. Might leave perfume smell on clothes if left in closet? Could test it out first. I don't know that for sure.

I use ona in my exhaust duct, that I pump outside. Smells like the drier exhaust with a fabric softener in the drier. I only put the ona in the exhaust duct after the 4th week of flower. Otherwise, my carbon scrubber gets veg and the first couple weeks of flower fine.

I decided to move the box out in to the grow room and im just going to set it out side the grow room.

If your not into diy scrubbers a site called www.collegegrowbox.com sells a small carbon filter for $45 for 80mm or 120mm fans.
