Carbon scrubber question? - Page 2 - Growroom Designs & Equipment - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Good point Buzzbob but bear in mind he built that carbon scrubber, ie he chose how many holes were in it.
I think with the carbon scrubbers available in hydro stores etc (I could be wrong) they have the correct size & amount of holes to maximise efficency.

Here is the carbon Scrubber I am looking at getting. There are three different sizes so the big one is the one for me. These you can buy the active charcoal and service it yourself.

Feelin a little light in the loufers there SP? lol

I thought about stringin it up in the top of the flower chamber. I have 9' ceilings in there so I have a little room up in the top.

How much do the damn things weigh?

Having the carbon scrubber in the room may cut down on the smell a lil more than having it outside because of leaks along the ducting.

In theory I think your right S_P & I agree with you, I set up my mates room with it on the inside simply because there was the room. , but exactly how much of a diff is it making? We dont really know.
Alls I know is it works for me either way

"How much do the damn things weigh?"

they're pretty heavy... probably gonna contain 20LBS or close to that of carbon alone, not counting the casing.... if you're looking to mount it on somethin, gonna need to be mounted to a stud, or something firm enough to hold 35-50lbs or so, of course the weight will depend on the size filter ya get, but.... they have a bit of weight to them.

hey tex, I have mine hooked up to a 4" vortex powerfan that pushes into the carbon filter and sucks the hot air from my 600 watt hood.

I always heard that the fan sucking the air through the carbon filter is better. I dont really see why though, this way I get to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

mdhydro.com has it cheap man, I made my own first time, but this was much better and not too expensive, I think any price is worth killing the stench of marijuana growin in yer closet.... its a big reason people get busted nosy neighbors smell the danky chronic air

I just finished making this one a couple days ago. I have 120 plants in flowering right now. After I installed the scubber, smell was eliminated 100%. My grow space is 30'x8'x8' and I am using a 6" inline, 500 cfm fan. I would highly recommend one!
