I have always been a do-it-yourself type of person so I am trying to make effective use of some space in my grow room by implementing home-made carbon filters. I read recently where this was done with a 5 gallon bucket and 25 pounds of carbon. Looking for some advise on carbon filters.
Room is 32"L x 41"W x 60"H
4-6 plants to start
I'm Trying to place the filter elements at the ceiling (just outside the room) to get it off the floor and have two permanent boxes about 14"x14"x5" that I can build them into. I was planning on making a system using heppa filter material over large holes cut out and use active carbon to fill the box. With 2 small fans and dual 4" ductwork I was planning on sucking the air out of the room and forcing it through the filters and then into open space. Anyone know if this will be enough to get the smell 100% gone or seem like more trouble than it's worth? Also, has anyone experimented with charcoal (not the kind for your grill) or carbon furnace filters? Any advice is much appreciated.
