Any pet store

Pet stores are expensive, for very little.Online from ebay or hydro store.Might be other places but hard to find this stuff.
Safe groing

I was kinda hoping for a local source like maybe Wal-Mart or Lowes?

Then it would help if you gave people an idea of where "local" is, there are people posting on here from every continent on the planet. (except Antartica?)

Walmart carries it

Walmart carries it at $5-$10 a lb. Ebay has it for $2 a lb and less.

True.But how do you know when to replace your carbon?

Walmart 9 oz for 5.88 That is all I have seen them sell. Lowes does not have it at all. Charcoal for plants but not activated carbon.

Most pet stores in my area sell it by the pound and they beat that Wallyworld crap hands down.

X2 ebay for $2/lb. depending on size of scrubber, it should last 8-10 months of service(mine @ 15 lb of carbon)

When? Immediately. Do not wait for morning or the girlfriend to come back with the car. Regardless of where you buy, buy 2 filters worth so you have a "spare."

4hydroponics has it in 16lb & 35lb bags

brewing supply companies often carry it as well.

When you can smell your girls at your exhaust is when.

Exactly.So ebay isn't really an option and price does not matter when your house smells like a skunk.

By the time you can smell it it's past due. That's why you keep extra carbon on hand. Buy it through Ebay and you'll have all you need, for 80% less $, anytime day or night. Or, you can let wally world store it for you and get arrested waiting for the store to open up.

The original poster did not have any extra on hand,and did not know where to buy it.So I gave him a suggestion,thats all.
