cheers mantz .... pain in the arse this lol , just been out came home to the smell of psycosis filling the house ... clearly old filter has packed in lol , got no cash till crop (another 6 weeks so on a massive budget) house already full of air freshners ... any ideas ? im only using a small tent so a 4inch will prob be good enough , but i have a 6inch cooltube so id rather have a 5inch or 6 inch fan filter combo , for future upgrades and better to overpower than underpower
have u got access to some tools mate? if so drill the pot rivets out on the can and empty the carbon into a pair of womans tights or stockings, hoover the fuck out of it for a good ten mins, wipe as much of the can surface as possible with sumthing alcohol based and then re- assemble. it wont do a 100% perfect job but it should give u another month or so improved performance. i got that tip from the woman that has my local hydro shop. she reckons it can be done two or three times before its completely fucked. and after that you can buy activated carbon from the net fror under a tenner and refill the filter itsself. all u need is a pot riveter and a drill, tbh u can probably just put a small enuff self taping screw into the old rivet hole, maybe with a smear of silicon just to seal it.

Or to re-activate the carbon get it wet(nicely damp not soaking) and bake it in the oven at bout 160 for 10mins, take it out mix with water, then another 10mins, water 10mins, water, 10mins, etc etc and do this for an hour making sure to mix it up nicely everytime you take it out of the oven to water it

Telling you guys, Im one lazy bastard. Got a bit of popcorn to trim but really can't be fucked. Phone the Nephew, tell him he can keep the popcorn as long as he cleans the grow op and gets rid of the excess shite. Everyone's a winner
