Hi, I am about to flower my plants under 1000watters, and I want to make sure my nieghbours dont smell them.

I have 10 plants and I am trying not to vent the smell outside. I have them plants in a tent 7x5 ft in a room.

I want to use a carbon fliter and ona gel to take out the smell. I was looking to buy this


http://cgi.ebay.com/6-x-14-ACTIVATED...item1c0444004b



My question what would be the best way to use this. I was thinking of putting it in the tent, and using the gel outside the tent(somewhat double proof)







thanks,

Hi, thanks for the info. I am not venting outside the house, but in the room itself. I have the room with the tent in it. How would this fliter work in the case? I havent use a carbon fliter before .

I perfer the fliter that has a fan, so i dont have to hook up anything.

thanks

the filter types I linked work great, I use those Pro filters to filter into my house from the grow areas. Can't smell a thing since I put them in. The filter you linked is just a scrubber for the grow room, it won't really help. It will filter the air in the tent, but odor will still leak out. That is why you need a carbon filter hooked up to the exhaust fan you have drawing air out of the tent. You then have negative pressure and the only thing escaping the tent is thru the filter, so no odor anywhere in the house. Plus you have to exhaust the air out of the tent to keep it cool and bring in fresh air for the plants.
 
There are better ones on eBay with 4" & 6" blowers. I would go with the 6" its just a couple bucks more.
 
Here is a pic with a 4" filter hooked up to a 4" fan in a 4x4x6.5 tent...

that is a sunleaves windtunnel fan. Cheaper, quieter and more powerful than can fans and vortex fans, at least around here.

Hi nice pic, is that black thing in the pic a fan. If i were to get a fliter combo with a fan, would i still need another exhuaust fan?


thanks

if you get that filter/fan combo you linked I don't see any way at all you can use it as an exhaust fan/filter. It will just circulate the air in the tent. You reall need a filter and fan seperately like in my pic so that you can exhaust the filtered air out of tent which will draw fresh air in at the bottom of the tent.

btw, the fan is dark blue.. :)
 
that is the smallest most pathetic looking pc fan/carbon filter i have seen. if you are thinking of growing 10 plants, i would recommend a fan with a cfm of about 400 and a filter that can handle it. the little thing you open the post with MIGHT work for 1 plant.. MAYBE..

Yeah, right... If I were to put a 3 1/2ft long 40lb 6inch filter and a 400cfm fan in a 4x4 tent there would be no room left for the plants. This 4" filter is perfect for what fits in a 4x4 tent.

You're supposed to hang the filter and blower above your light (from the frame of the tent) in order to remove hot air from the top. You shouldn't be tight on space up there.
