Carbon filter sleeve needed?
RedArmC3POstarted grow question a year ago
I use the carbon filter on the exhaust side. On the intake side, I have a dust screen mesh.
The tent is quite clean so that’s why I don’t see the need of the pre filter. Would also probably load the inline fan a bit too.
What’s you thought?

Inside/outside your cover HAS to be kept on
Intake (sucking air into tent from filter the sleeve stops any dust and so on blocking the charcoal and helps perserve good air flow. (Also, if it gets really dusty, quick wash, not 100% needed, but extra clean airflow can only be good)
If you're using it as a negative seal. (Same applies. You'll see a build up of yellow dust, real grimy, also, with exhaust "filter inside tent" the sleeve will stop any excess moisture and clogging up ur charcoal with mold and such.
So, all in all. Keep in on.

as long as there's a mesh before it goes through carbon, kinda the same thing.
becarful, some of those you have to switch the neck around to operate in opposite airflow direction.
it will work better from inside and with negative pressure in tent, if the smell is very important for you.

I use mine(I use panyhose over my intake duct/lighttrap). Stuff can always get in while you have the door open. Then again, unless you're repacking the thing it's life span is only a year or two typically anyway.

If your carbon filter is on the exhaust side, meaning air is being pushed through it from the inline fan, then the dust filter on your intake functions the same as s having a pre filter on your carbon filter on the intake side.
Not all carbon filters can be used interchangeably some can only be used on the intake, idk why its just what I've seen on its specs.
Good Luck!

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.

Do any body have any experience in making your own carbon filter?Thinking about making one from two steel mesh "ovals" with +-2cm in between. Use some filtration cloth so the carbon don't go through the mesh. And will fill the space between the meshes with activated carbon used for this purpose. Do you think its going to work? ThanksSetup.
