Right now im growing in a refrigerator grow box and have an intake/outtake exhaust system. I was seeing what I should use?

Im on a tight budget right now. I bought some fish tank carbon filter and taped it on the exhaust but the fan was no strong enough to blow air through, and it smells. I need a quik fix, asap.

What else could I do? Dryer sheets? BTW, my outtake is 222cfm.

Thanks fellas.

I built my own carbon filter and it works great. It covers up all the odors.

I built this one, but it's easy to design your own. Basically you can use an inline vent fan (I wouldn't use anything smaller than 6") to force your exhausted air through a whole bunch of activated carbon. You can get these at Home Depot.

Here's a bucket-style scrubber...

You should be able to build one for less than $50 and then you just have to change the activated carbon once it starts to smell again. I've been using mine for about 6 months and still have no odors.

I don't think dryer sheets are going to work all that great. In the end your best bet in probably to build one of these scrubbers. If there was a cheaper way I'm sure you would've come across a post of it.

Good luck
