I have a smallish grow cabinet that I will be setting up as another flower space.
Roughly 30" wide x 24" deep x 54" tall. I will have 3 QB288 v2 boards running on an HLG185H-C1050 dimmed down to @ 150W.
I found this examples of ways to setup the filter but am still confused.
Since I am limited on height I would like to be able to hang my light fixture as high as possible, ideally a max height of 48". That only leaves me @ 6" of clearance and I don't think I can fit a carbon filter inside the cabinet (METHOD 2 in example). I will be using an AC Infinity T4 as the exhaust, which will definitely be outside the cabinet, and then was planning to exhaust out the window. (something like METHOD 4 but then going out the window after the filter).
But it looks to me like most of the filters are capped on one end? Is there a lip to attach another piece of ducting to the 'out' end of the carbon filter so it can vent out the window?
The other idea I had was to use something like one of these range hood carbon filters. Basically have that mounted flat inside the cabinet on top of the exhaust hole. Then the fan sits outside the cabinet pulling through that. I saw someone on youtube do this but have no clue how effective they are, but I figure it might be more effective than having the filter outside of the cabinet.
