badass man +rep for that. how often do you need to replace the filter though?

yeah on the unit it was originally intended for. this is different so filter life may be affected that's why I asked but I'm sure the 90days is pretty close so thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Here is our homemade lighting system for the veg room. We took our cue from Seemorebuds book, buds for less and expanded on it.......

Mr I Can Do That For Half
The carbon scrubber above you almost got it right but you need to make it double walled and filled with active carbon that filter is just the outside part of a filter and really if more then one plant your not doing much and out in the open running 24/7 it good for maybe 30 days max

agreed double walled with some active carbon inside would be an easy, cheap upgrade that would make your filter ten times better and last a grow or two...

I have engineered almost everything I use, but here's one that solved a unique problem I had quite a few years back.
I wanted to exhaust the hot air from BOTH my veg room AND flower room and scrub it at the same time, did not want to make a darkroom vent (keeps light out from each room) and did not want to run alot of hoses or ducts.
I searched around and did not find what I needed, so I made my own.
Voila!
The 'Carbon Coffin'
"... the final resting place of dank odors"
Anyways I used it for a number of years and I only had to replace the super activated carbon about every 12-15 months on average. Worked like a charm.
(Had some LEO about 4-5 ft from my exhaust and they had no clue.)
My newer designs are alot more complex and work even better, I may show them on here one day, who knows.
A few pics here show the basic layout and the scrubber inner frame(before it was covered with the outer layer of wire frame and nylon and filled with carbon.

I have a pretty neat one. Its prolly not practical for most but its a walk in cooler from a restaurant I converted it to my grow room. Two 1000w cool tubes on a light rail, dehumidifier and co2. It doesnt even need a scrubber cause its air tight. I can drop the temps to freezing if I wanted. And Im pretty sure ir cant see the lights. Ill post some pics when I get my camera working.

So I have been following Hobbes thread on tinctures and he suggested to make them more potent to use honey oil.
I did not want to order an extractor because I want to DIY!
I hear stainless steel and glass are the only way to go for safety. Other materials can leach leads and other chemicals in to your honey oil and I am eating it so...
I went to Bi-Mart to start and got a hose clamp for 1.29$
Then to Bed Bath and Beyond I found a stainless steel turkey baster.5.99$wala
