Wrongholn519started grow question 4y ago

Can I attached a carbon filter at both ends of my inline exhaust fan? I'm battling some intense aromas from my current grow and I'm looking for ways to eliminate it other than just venting it straight outside.

There is no point to putting a filter on the inlet side of your fan, it does nothing. Replace the carbon in your existing filter as a first step.

Throw a dryer sheet a day over your discharge vent it will mask any extra smell from putrid bud for the last two weeks

Yes you can. But your exhaust fan may be not as efficient as without. You can also use ONA gel or block, it works perfectly fine to neutralize smells in a room. I hope this helps. Good luck 🍀

it's preferable to have the the carbon filter fixed to the extractor intake, but yep it also work if fixed to the extractor output. Mine is fixed after the output. Happy growing

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!
