What's up RIU. So oll lady said I had to move the grow out of the house so I'm setting up a 12x20 shed to run almost 3000w of cob leds. Problem I ran into growing inside was and is the stank. Ive been using a window mount 24000btu ac but the outside of my house smell like straight dank. Worse then the inside of my house but I guess I'm a lil nose blind to that bc my family have been getting called out for out clothes just reeking. Anyway I've never used carbon scrubbers but I've got an 8x39 phat filter with a big 8 inch fan on the way as we speak. So my question is how much will the carbon filter work? Do y'all think I would still be able to use the same ac with that scrubber or possibly like 3 more of them? Or is a minisplit the only option. Thank y'all in advance for you opinions

I run two 48x12 phat filters in each of my rooms with 12 inch vortex VTX series fans and they work really well. The key is being able to process enough air, so if one doesn't cut it, add another.

I just stand them on end and use a little piece of galvanized snap seam duct to extend them up a bit and connect the fan sucking air through the filter, put an adjustable elbow on top of the fan to direct the air flow. I blow the air just below my lights above the canopy to remove heat from the HPS lights. You can use them to circulate room air, eliminating a few wall mount fans. They are loud though unless you run a nice length of snap seam duct.
