Hi all. Wasnt sure wether to post this here or the diy section. Hope its ok in here.
This is my first grow, i have a CAN-carbon filter and rvk 100 running in my setup. I extract my 'dirty' air from my growroom/cupboard into my bedroom through the wall. One plant is at 7weeks flowering and have another sativa that still has a bit to go.
Even with my filter n fan setup, im still getting a smell in my bedroom, its not teribbly bad, if for whatever reason sumone got into my berdroom, i could prob pass it off as just after having a joint. But id like to get rid off the smell like 100% or as close to as possible.
Iv came to the conclusion that its my extractor fan thats too powerfull for my tiny dr60 tent, i was about to buy a fan speed controller but the place that sells them says they are quite tricky to wire up and im no electrician...... id rather have a bit of a smell leak than a fire.
For now iv been placing tumble dryer sheets in the hole and around the room. They do work well though but im starting to get fed up replacing them every 2nd day or so.
So im wondering, is it possible to add more carbon inside my filter, like some activated carbon inside some filter pad type stuff, {like the stuff people use when doing diy carbon filters} or again like a small pouch of the stuff sitting in a little pouch inside my the extraction hole on the wall where the air is coming out of? Or sumthin like along those lines ? Just basically getting more carbon sumwhere so the air has more to pass through.
iv seen some ingenius ideas people have came up with to help grow there favourite herb and im sure there will be sumthin i can do. Wheree theres a will there usually is a way.
Anyone know if this would work or have any ideas ?
Thanks for reading.
