Thanks for the input and i dont doubt that the carbon filters that utilize actual activated carbon pellets is more effective, it makes sense with the surface are calculations (filters with a certain width of filler would bump the surface area equation up 2x or 3x)
Look, your gonna do whatever you want regardless of what anyone says on here. I'm
just trying to help you out.
Yea, I saw what it said....It's rated at something like 500 some CFM's.
C'mon.....think about, doesn't that sound a little far fetched.

I've tried so many cheap thrifty ideas on saving money on my grows and the #1 thing
I've tried to save money on was getting rid of the smell.
I've tried everything.
I've even tried making my own carbon scrubbers.
Finally I did it what the books recommend.
I have a 28 inch tall by 9 inch wide ProFilter attached to a 265 Cfm blower.
I grow Dutch Passion Oasis, Hydro, SoG style. I grow a total of 24 plants at one time.
Anything less than what I use for getting rid of smell would be ineffective and the entire place that I grow in would stink like hell.
