I just bought a MERV 12 filter. I was a bit surprised by the material. It looks easy to work with. I'm going remove the filter sheet and wrap it around the outside of my carbon filter. I'll report back in a few weeks when I get to it!

Been using a pair of ac filters for my intake for a long time. Buy them by the case and replace them once a month.
Not allergic to anything, but close up pictures of buds made me think it was a good idea.

Well I bought the merv 12 filter and tore the filter sheet out (such a pain, glue everywhere!). The material looked kind of thin so I kept the sock on the outside of the carbon filter and ended up just wrapping the merv 12 filter sheet around the outside. It seems to working as my allergy symptoms have been pretty minimal since doing that. I think its fair to say its a success. As a plus doing this has (along with a couple other small fixes) has really improved my airflow. The temperature has gone down 3-6C. I may even be able to run the fan at a lower speed now

I still need to add backdraft dampers to the ventilation inputs though as fumes leak out there when the fan is off
