What size of carbon scrubber for a 4 plant set up under a 250 watt HPS? - Growroom Lighting - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Closet Funk · 07-28-2006, 01:04 AM

I'm trying to plan my ventilation and odor control for my upcoming fall grow. I'm probally going to go with a DIY carbon scrubber. How big of one should I make? also would it be good to have a duct running from the top of my relfector with an inline fan pulling hot air and stinky air to my carbon scrubber? and is the carbon scrubber better outside the growroom? or is it fine in the closet? any help would be appreciated.

put the scrubber out side the closet if you have room, vent st8 up to the attic.

Keep in mind that most carbon scrubbers are rated in cfms and need to be bought according to what kind of fan you have. Air should move slowly through the carbon to get all odors out. $50 sounds like a good deal though as long as it fits your fan.

For a 250w you don't need a huge scrubber so something smaller than a 5gal bucket should work fine.

The air fllow and scrubbing quality of a diy cant match a Can air filter for 50 bucks.A diy will add up to almost 50 bucks and whont last 18 months using the BEST activated charcoal CAN uses.Security is worth 50 bucks. I use may can 9000 with a 4" vortex on my 15 plant sog under a 600 hps. sd ibl and still NO smell.If you unscrew the lid on a can filter you can refill it too. I made a diy carbon filter..not worth it.
