Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone in Micro grow land is pushing their exhaust thru a DIY carbon scrubber instead of pulling...and if so, how is it performing?
Until my last harvest I have been growing in a decent sized 250w HPS cab with good results..Due to my clumsiness my exhaust duct got a very small hole in it during the last two weeks of flowering causing my better half and I to come home to a house REEKING of Sensi Star.
My better half is a nervy type and pretty much shut me down after this happened (we live in close proximity to other houses and she was very scared of getting busted...don’t blame her) After a couple of months of niggling away at her I have the green light to grow again with one condition...She can’t know it’s there AT ALL!! No odour, no ballest hum, no bubbling DWC...no nothing
So I’m thinking of downgrading to a smaller 18x12x29 130w CFL cabinet which I can tuck away in a walk-in cupboard but am having some issues sorting out the odour control. Nearing the end of the last grow I bought myself a Foothill Filters DIY style 4 x 12 carbon scrubber (where I live it’s impossible to find the parts to construct my own) which I am thinking of using but giving its size would be impossible to fit into the cab. This got me looking at blowing the exhaust thru the scrubber which would be a lot easier to setup...but I’m stressing a lot that if it fails I will be shut down for good and back to scoring my smoke from the street
So is anyone doing this and how has it been going? Should I ditch the Foothills filter and get a professionally made scrubber (which i have always used in the past with great success until the “hole incident”)??
cheers
