i am curently building my grow room and i would like to install a carbon scrubber, but the issue that has come up is i have no where to put it. so i was thinking about makin my homemade carbon scrubber and then taking a curved peice of ducting with the carbon scrubber on one end hanging into my grow room and the other end of ducting on the ceiling in the grow room.

i will have a oscilating fan on most of the time so will the circulating air go threw my carbon scrubber and work?

this is a really shittty diagram of what im trying to do. the line with the 1 is the roof of my grow room, the 2 is where the carbon scrubber willl be, and the 3 is were air will enter

carbon filters have nothing to do with co2 production buddy.A carbon filter is a filter with activated carbon inside to kill off smelly odours,attach a fan to drag smelly air through it which in turn "should" bring cleaner smelling air out the other end. A carbon scrubber is a more effective(and more expensive) alternative to a carbon filter,but also nothing to do with co2 production.
hope this helps.

when you're back down and ready to read:

1. look at https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/343918-myth-busters-real-truth-co2.html for a discussion on using co2 in your grow.

2. a carbon filter is used to clean the air in your grow room so it doesn't smell of pot. they are easy to use and work well - check out any online hydro store for a filter/fan combo.
