Have you actually used them tho? Jw cuz with ipower it's kinda hit and miss they're a cheap brand and so you can never be too sure but as long as cfm is right I suppose it should be fine. As far as connecting it to the fan it's gonna be intake at the top of the tent would it be fine just sitting on the flange? Like no tape ducting etc cuz the negative pressure would be sealing it against the fan (mostly cuz the fan intake flange is too short to tape ducting or even tape the fan and filter together)

Even if it is cheap, you could refill it with better grade stuff down the road. I would like to know about i power as well.

I've refilled tons of tiny to Can 150 filter over the years and never again do I want to do that. For the 2+ years you can get out of a filter I'd rather just pay the extra for a brand new one. With out a shaker it take way too long to slowly pour in the charcoal and pack it a few inches at a time so remove any air gaps

2+ years? Those are some magic filters, what brand? I’m lucky to get 6 months out of mine!

Well then buy a bigger filter or don't let your humidity get out of control. Most of my customers use filters for 2+ years only time I've seen them go early are then they used too small of a filter for the job or had a monster fan running through a filter with CFM rating way too small for the fans CFM..

My space is 21’x21’ however I only have 3 3’x3’ tents in that sealed space. The two flower tents each have a 6” filter coupled to a single 6” 400cfm fan. The veg tent has a 4” filter coupled to a 4” fan.

Humidity is kept in the high 50’s.

With the filters I have in place now, even of the tents are empty the exhuast out of the fan smells like some skunky sweet fire. Those filters were brand new in Feb. I usually get more than this out of them, I tried a new brand which I will not do again. But even the other ones I was using, 6-9 months seems to be the usable lifespanto me. Maybe I need to get a more expensive filter.

I don't think you need to get a more expensive filter just bigger one as its just charcoal what else on the filter that is not charcoal would make it work better lol. 6-9 months doesn't seem right. But I don't really have an answer for you, maybe just put a big filter and a 8-10" fan in the main room to suck up any escaped smell but I think this is where a proper ozone machine might do the trick.

I’m a little late on posting but anyway. I have 2 I-power 6” filters and 1 Terrabloom.... they worked great up until my humidity started peaking 65-75%.... I can’t control my summer humidity right now I just don’t have the money. I’m going on my 3rd harvest with these and I’d buy them again. I’m sure it’s the humidity, positive.

Humidity above 60% kills them right away but once it goes down they'll work again.

Good Day

Has any one here possibly tried more natural methods of odour control with just using plants, herbs and flowers possibly.

A Thread i came across talks about the following plants.

Calendula
Basil
Marjoram
Lavender
Juniper
Lemon Balm
Eucalyptus
Thyme
Rosemary
Mint

If any has tried this, i am looking into going this root, seeing that some of these or most of these plants can also be used in the house.

Thanks
