Hey whats up guys havent posted in a little bit actually in the middle of moving. Moving to this sweet house that was built back in the 1700s and its the sweetest house ever Cause the house has a hidden loft in it (GF found the house and she knew what was up) So im moving up in the world from a closet to a nice big spacey loft

So im gonna be doing a nice SOG grow in there Gonna be using 2 600w HPS lights using the poly film (panda film) to make the room.

My real questions is im gonna be doing a DIY Charcol filter just wondering if people have any pics of theres and how many plants, size of filter and the CFM of the fan your using.

Its hiting winter time so im firguring im just gonna have an exhaust fan only with a nice swinging fan moving the air in there (dont want to get that grow room to cold since I live where the winter hits...and it hits)

I already seen a dozen DIY filters but thing is Ive read high powered fans (like pushing over 200 CFMs) seems like they just blow by the filter so quick that they just dont get a chance to filter it all out you know.

Id like to see what people have done at what CFMs so I know

The space itself is huge but more then likely gonna do 10x10 I have over 200 seeds im just planning on germinating them all and making a small forest in this loft Just dont want it to sink up my whole house hence why i wanna know what people have done (and im to poor to buy a pro verision DIY is def the way to go!)
 
I've had great success with an ozone generator (controlling smell). I have it timed so that the ozone generator turns on for 30 minutes in between my in-take and exhaust fans turn on. That way the ozone generator cleans up the air before it is expelled outside. 200 seeds huh? Awesome!!!

it take the carbon filter .1 seconds of contact to 'clear' the air. No one would use them if this was a problem. I don't have to use one in my space. VV

make a 2-3 foot long carbon filter that is like 8"+ in diameter. put a normal fan on it. fill it with kitty litter crystal type and hang that beast. it will last a long ass time and smell fresh.
