So my girls have been giving off their sweet sensual perfume for days now, and I know I should have done this sooner... but here is my DIY carbon filter.. Picked up a few things at walmart. Black duck-tape Black "Pencil cup" Smaller black "Pencil cup" Black ladies socks (pantyhose) Activated carbon  Poor some carbon in the mesh like "pencil cup"  .... just enough so the smaller cup is level with the larger cup.  Slip the smaller cup into the sock   Tuck the sock into the smaller cup holding the end of the sock. Pore in the carbon.. keep holding the end of the sock.   Now pull on the end of the sock and use your finger to guide the carbon into the space between both cups until filled.   Now pull the end of the sock over the entire filter.. twist the end of the sock at the bottom and pull it up over the end of the cup.    Now simply use duck-tape to place the filter over your exhaust fan. I used a rubber band to secure it...  Works great... though I already miss that sweet aroma =[ Don't forget to visit the rest of my Micro grow for more great DIY ideas... link in my sig.. _________________ Micro ebb/flow (NOW DWC), all CFL ScrOG, perpetual Stealth locker

| Hell yes! I love the idea and execution. If I had seen this when I built my little cab I would have made it, sadly I wasn't as clever as Wolfman. Grow on and prosper!

| Dude, very very nice. I've been thinking about building a drying box that would need a smaller carbon filter. This is PERFECT!

| Would something of this size be sufficient for a PC grow box holding a max of 2 plants at any time or would i be better off with something larger like a coffee filter or atrium grate?

| Wow guys... thanks for the great response =] ... I was hoping you would like it. And this little guy will work for just about any size cab... and yes more then enough for pc grows =] In fact... build a quick manifold out of 3" PVC piping, and you can link as many as these as you want for the size of your grow... have 4 of these for a decent size closet grow for example. This is a sneak peak of my micro grow in a cab. 4 plants 2 weeks into flowering.. you can see the fan I'm using in the background.... This filter works perfectly and...  .. Some nice side effects of this filter besides the oder control (eliminated)... It also blocks light getting in and out of the cab through the exhaust fan... not to mention is muffled the noise of the fan as well.... a must have for all stealth grows. =] There is no hint of smell any more... and I'm not kidding when I say that I do miss it =[.. but my goal is to make it stealthy. I was thinking though... just simply apply it to any small fan, and place the fan/filter unit in any room for an easy do it yourself air purifier. I spent like $10 to make it.. best of all, it's re-usable. Simply replace the carbon! Do not hesitate to try this at home... The pencil cups are in the office supply isle. The activated carbon is in the pet isle next to the fish tanks the rest is easy to find. Peace.... and keep it fun . _________________ The BEST DIY EZ walmart carbon filter for MICRO grows Zen style Micro ebb/flow (NOW DWC), all CFL ScrOG, perpetual Stealth locker

| i think a knee-high(100% nylon) would be more efficient as it would be thinner and let the air flow through better than a "sock" but great idea and write up. i might make one for my veg cab if my mothers get outta line with their funk.
