2 CARBON FILTERS?!?!?!

So I want to set up a decent sized stealthy perpetual grow in a spare room....inside the room I want to put a 4' x 8' flowering tent, and a sepperate 4' x 4' veg tent...This room only contains a sliding glass door. I was wondering If I could run a carbon filter from the flowering tent to another carbon filter...So basically Dirty air gets sucked in from inside the tent, travels, then gets exhausted in the room through a 2nd carbon filter.

I will fill the 2nd filter OUTSIDE the tent with ona gel. Plus air fresheners outside the room. We're going for 0 stank people!

Filter>Fan>Ducting>2nd filter

Also if heat becomes an issue, I can simply open up the sliding door a crack to get fresh air, instead of having a very obvious exhaust vent in the door.

Does anyone see any flaws in this idea? will condensation fuck up the 2nd filter? Is the 2nd filter a waste?

Any thoughts on this?

if you only have 1 flower tent you only need 1 carbon filter but i guess you could put a second filter if you wanted, itd be nice if you made a picture on paint or something so we could get a better understanding of the setup. id use 1 carbon filter in the tent and just make sure theres a negative pressure in the tent... and btw too much air freshner itsself could be suspicious on its own. id just use ozone on a timer for extra smell protection outside the room

If you've got a 6",or bigger fan and a decent sized filter you should be fine. My 4x8 is totally taken care of by a 450cfm PHAT filter and a 6" fan on a speed controller.

My carbon filter sits in the corner collecting dust and bugs that crawl in it do die. My house still seemed to smell like raw bud when I used it. It just wasn't overpowering.

Loves me that funk. I especially love unzipping the tent and and inhaling that extra thick funk before it dissapates. Your nose kinda gets used to it, though. If your outside all day your nose forgets and you can enjoy it again.

I would just run 2 filters with 2 fans

my flowering area has 1 filter on a fan going to outside

1 filter on a fan going to the veg

1 filter on a fan in the veg going outside

and 1 filter on a fan going into an led light (no dusty air in my light) that one only go`s on when the light it on

plus have one more fan that sucks some fresh air into the veg, the veg is right at the back so have 2 fans going into it incase one gets blocked or something that can take a few days for someone to notice and I hate losing all my veggers and clones and seedlings, less of a problem then if I lose everything in bloom sometimes, lol

I meant, the air gets sucked in from the flowering tent through a carbon filter, then ALSO gets exhausted through a 2nd carbon filter...to eliminate any smell
