Some you can take apart some you can't. If you can it's possible to replace the charcoal in it but it's not worth the hassle. It's a big mess and you'll never get the charcoal packed in like it is from the factory. It shouldn't have a weird smell after 1 grow. Did it get wet and stay wet for awhile without being used? Possible mildew/mold, etc...

I just went and did a sniff test on a couple filters I have laying around and have been used for multiple grows and they have no smell. I even hooked one up to a fan and pulled air through one and no smell. It's a mystery.

Fucking cats I hate cats sneaky bastards.
I have always had a cat, but I laughed when I read this. They are sneaky little bastards. I came home today and couldn't find my cat. He had pushed one of the fans away from one of the vent holes on the floor to my tent. And you guessed it, he pushed his way right into the tent. HAHA! He was laying in the corner soaking up the LED rays! :cool:

I had a cat I rescued and then he turned out to be an asshole pissing in random spots in the basement so he got re homed. I only have pups anymore a Malti-poo which he’s all of 5 lbs and a yorkie-poo she’s 9 and the most viscous lol.
