avtivated carbon vs. carbon filter for ovens

Discussion in 'Growing Marijuana Indoors' started by LOTE, Dec 31, 2006.

  1. I recently built a carbon filter using filter screening used for ovens, similar to the one in the link below, only I used 4 layers of it. My question is, is how well will this work with a small cab with a plant or two come the end of the flowering cycle and the stink that goes with it? If anyone has personal experience with this I would greatly appreciate a reply.

    I also have the means to convert my filter to activated carbon, like in the link below, but if it's not necessary I don't want to. Does anyone have experience with a filter like this?

  2. The more carbon you pass the air through the better the odor control will be. Hard to tell if filling a chamber with activated carbon will be better than four layers of those sheets. A key will be your fan strength -- unless it can push/pull air through the filter effectively choosing between the two won't matter much. Four layers of those sheets is a lot, it may be hard to get air to flow through.
