Smell through filter exhaust

DuschkabinenGrowstarted grow question 2y ago

The smell inside is quite strong and is coming through the filtered exhaust. Is this normal, or does it mean I need to replace my filter soon?

if it didn't smell before, it's probably not due to an incorrect activated charcoal filter. have you checked the seals? i've read before that too much humidity affects the filter. but it could also simply be because the smell is too intense, so that the filter doesn't work properly. the very last possibility would of course be that the ability decreases due to age

It could be that the filter is used up and you need a new one. I change the filter after every third grow, at the latest after a year it gets replaced. If you also smoke in the room where the tent is, the filter gets clogged faster and you would need to replace it more often.

If you’ve had this filter for quite sometime now, it’s probably in need of replacement I would say.

Como regular el calor en el armario I have a 1x1 closet with a 400w bulb, it's about 50cm from the plant and its temperature ranges from 25ºC to 30ºC while the bulb is on. Then during flowering, I'll switch it to 600w. How can I regulate the temperature so it’s not so high, and what distance should it be from the plant?

Do you think this is a better position for carbon filter so it can have better airflow or is it more important to scrub air from the top and have 2 90 degree bends? I'll probably try this in my next grow. Pic with drying plants is setup from before with 2 90 degree bends.
