Do you think this carbon filter will be enough for 1 autoflower plant?

[420LLIE]

Hey, for now I do not want to buy expensive products, as I will do single plant micro grow. Because in the coming years, I will grow with professional equipment. Most things I buy now won't work in professional grow. A small 165m3 carbon filter is one of them.

So I'm going to make a simple carbon filter but I'm wondering if it will work. My cabinet is a 40x40x80cm cabinet.


Fan 125m3/h



These two products are compatible and intertwined with each other. I will put a fan on one end of the pipe and a wire strainer on the other end so that the activated carbons do not spill. I will fill half a kilo or 1 kilo of activated carbon in it. The pipe will be positioned vertically. I'm going to drill a 100mm hole in the top of my cabinet and pass the pipe there.

Do you think it works? Is it enough to deodorize 1 autoflower? Or should I go ahead and buy a 160m3 carbon filter?

Plenty of adequate carbon filters are available from $20-30 bucks
Not sure on the one you show though

Just buy a fan filter combo. Besides lighting, filter is not something to cheap out on

Yes, it exists in developed countries such as Europe or America, but if you live in a crappy Middle Eastern country with a worthless currency and 200-300% annual inflation, those carbon filters cost 1000 units. So imagine giving 1000 euros to those little carbon filters.

Since my cabinet is small, I am considering putting the carbon filter outside of my cabinet. My space is very limited. Do you think this connection will reduce the efficiency too much? I know that normally it should be the other way around.

Carbon filters work best if pulled through

Ain't nothin to it but to do it.

Let us know.

I would agree with this. More surface area usage with air force-sucked over the carbon bits, rather than exhaust air lazily passing thru it.

40x40x80cm cabin. Since my space is already limited, I thought of putting the filter outside. but I will have to put it inside the cabinet.

Put the fan outside.
