Carbon filter sleeve needed?
RedArmC3POstarted grow question 4 months 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?

Air-Intake / Equipment question.Ok, so i bought a air outtake system for my grow tent with a active carbon filter so my whole house doesn't smell like weed as it does now. My question is can i just install my air outtake in there and close the tent without having a air intake ? Or will that cause Problems ?

Temps Humidty Optimization, Worried about mid/late flowerHello guys
My grow tents have high humidity. A fan is venting into attic.
There is a vacuum in the room so the air is circulating+ dehumidifer outside tent

RH too high for flower?
Want to prevent budrot. Temps OK?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

How do you deal with the humidifier in hydro ?So I bought a dehumidifier as advised but now the room gets hotter (Had to setup an extractor to pull the hot air and now I have no intraction) and during the day EC goes up of 0.1 or even 0.2 (from 1.8 to 1.9 or 2). I suppose there are more nutriments because of dehumidification
