Update with carbon filter and pics!

Just put in my new carbon filter and fan! Took only about 4 hours but hey i did it haha

List of what i got;
6" CFM fan
GP filter evolution 3 carbon filter
25 ft of 6" ducting
Roll of gorilla tape
All the brackets 6" & 4" ill explain why i needed the 4"
6" Air stopper

So this is how i did it, I kinda test fit everything before i installed it so i knew i had all the parts etc. I cut into the dryer vent so my air goes outside and plus the dryer vent has lint in it to help mask the smell :) Ran my ducting along the roof in my basement (that is unfinished) and it looks like a normal hose so it blends in, ran into my room and to my fan and to my carbon filter after having multiple tries to put it on the wall (NOTE: Plastic bungee cords do NOT work to hold up that much weight) hooked it all up and plugged it in.

Just a side note always check for leaks in the ducting and your connections.. haha oops

Did i do it all right? My 600w HPS lights are going up tomorrow.. Too tired to do it today bongsmilie



+REP if you can tell me how far along my plants are!

It looks like you have some serious bends in your ducting which is going to restrict airflow.

If after you put in your 600w you experience a heat issue these bends would be a good starting point as every angle in ducting reduces your fans efficiency. So you could try to position everything so you get straight as possible duct work.


Other than this your room is looking good so far.
