I think pulling through the filter makes better use of the Carbon filters surface area.

neither, Im using an inline fan to pull cool air into the grow room. to exhaust all of my heat/smell I use squirrel cage fans, theyre just a lil bit louder than the inline fan and do a much better job at moving air.If i'm gonna use an inline fan to vent through a carbon filter, should it push air into the filter or pull air out through it?
Im venting into the attic so smell and heat really an issue for me, is that possible for u?
most carbon scrubbers pull air thru the fan and blow it out thru the carbon.
but air purifiers in the store work the opposite way (pulling air thru the filter, then blowing air out)
so i guess it doesnt really matter.

fans are better at creating a vacuum inside the filter(pulling air through) than pressurizing through the filter (pushing)
pushing has too much backpressure.
