Deffinite kuddos for this how to. I've been looking for something just like this to help with the ventilation problem. By far an awesome idea. Thanks!

I've seen other tutorials that use activated carbon bought from pet stores to make it instead of an actual filter replacement. Just wondering if this is an improvement over that or what?

Thanks :joint:

Nice application but, how would I do this using my bathroom exhaust fan as the main source for odor extraction. I don't have a huge grow room, I just used the corner in my bathroom as the grow spot and it is getting a little smelly. I was thinking about getting some of those odor eliminator gel thingys. U just put it in your living room and the gel slowly dissolves. There not that strong but with maybe 2 of them it may work but this looks cool I wanna build this. Tired of just sitting around waiting for my bitch to get big.

That's super cool. I was wondering how does one know what size to build to be compatible with the exhausts' fan CFM?

Let's just say the fan is a Vortex 4" inch. 172CFM :)

I read somewhere online that it has to do with length? But I've seen some brand name filters emphasize the pounds of carbon?

Anyway, thank you.

I built a large version of this with equiptment from local stores for about $40 (including a built in fan). It works impressively well so far. I used a larger sheet meta duct vent peice to fasten the activated charcoal and tube chamber directly to the fan. I drilled holes in the sides of the vent peice then tied it on to the fan with zip-ties, then went over it with duct tape to seal gaps and create a tight duct.

Thanks for the ideas!
