I'm going to try another way to get you those pics up for you guys. Maybe try to put it into my documents and then post. Any suggestions on how I could do it? Was talking to my buddy at work about it and he gave me a couple ideas to try. That's one of the best parts, we work together and have time to talk about the grow. Makes the day's more fun>

save the picture to your computer... then load the pictures by using the "manage attachments" option when you are posting a reply in the advanced mode

i started off having it either 6 in or closer but as the plants grew into 3 different heights i must have my light above the tallest plant... the tallest and second tallest (both in the back) are 4-6 inches away but the front small one is 1 foot away

First thing to build is the inner chamber.

pic1 - supplies:
6"-4" reducer
4" cap
2 - 4.5" screw fasteners
10" length of Heavy duty chicken wire
2 - pannyhose legs

pic2 - Wrap the 10" length of chicken wire around the 4" end cap to form a cylinder. I used a bunch of zip ties to secure the cylinder's shape.

Pic3 - Slide the pannyhose legs over the cylinder to act as a screen for the carbon.

Pic4 - Secure the end cap on one end of the cylinder with one of the 4.5" screw fasteners.

Pic5 - Secure the 6"-4" reducer to the open end of the cylinder with the other 4.5" screw fastener.

That's it. The inner chamber is done. Set aside we'll need it in a bit.

pic2 - Wrap the 12" length of chicken wire around the 6" end cap to form a cylinder. I used a bunch of zip ties to secure the cylinder's shape.

Pic3 - Slide the pannyhose legs over the cylinder to act as a screen for the carbon.

Pic4 - Now you should have all of these parts....almost done


Pic5- Now slide the 6" cylinder over the 6" section of the 6"-4" reducer (and the inner chamber) and secure with a 6.5" screw fastener

Filling with Activated carbon and finishing it.

pic1 - Without the 6" end cap on the bottom, the filter should look like this....notice this space in between the chambers....this is where the activated carbon goes.

pic2 - I used an oil spout with the end cut off to more easily disperse the carbon into the filter.

pic3 - Here is the filter filled with carbon.

pic4 - Finally put the 6" end cap on the bottom and we're good to go.

Pic5 - Here is the finally product.

Ya, this is the best one I've seen for a round type. And to say again I copied this from a thread on cannabis.com site that was done by Bodom Children Of. I did mine with PVC for the out side and made it a 6" take off. It works very well, the PVC also makes the filter material a little thicker and should clean a little more.

f you use carbon it would be activated carbon. But that is expensive, probably 50- 60 bucks at least. I researched it when I did mine and went with Fresh Step Crystals cat litter. About $14 and had a lot left over. Like I said I have it vented from my closet to my living room and you can't smell a thing. Well starting to smell a little but it is time to change it. I read it is good for about ! flowering period and I'm just getting past that. I need to change it soon and will get pics when I do. If you had this filter and a computer fan about 80 cfm you should be able to mount it in your closet and just circulate the air in there and would do very well. Remember the slower the air goes through the filter the better it will clean.
