im very limited on space,
The 4 inch drainage pipe behind the fan is about 3 metre long to the surface and cant attach anything to the exit end as its buried in the ground so need to try put something right behind the fan to filter smell cos before the fan takes up too much space.
looking at Can fans atm, might find one to fit inside the pipe and that will leave space for a filter then.
il get something sorted lol

build a DIY filter. Maybe you could fill a section of pipe with carbondrill some holes in it and seal the ends with hardware cloth

Good morning @Talonxracer don’t mean to offend, but you seem to be our east coast “Walmart” greeter… welcoming the day and all that log on each morn.

Yup, a early riser, welcoming all my fellow growmies to a new day! This morn I was up at 3am eastern...

Although citric acid works, it's really only good for organic grows as it does not keep your PH stable in any kind of hydro environment. I've got a lifetime supply of it, for 10 people..... that I can't get rid of lol!

I should have been more specific. I am organic.

HAPPY CATURDAY GUYS​

would a hepa filter screen help stop weed smell from my grow​

A carbon filter takes up too much room and was thinking if i attached these to the front of my extraction fan, or even behind the fan inside the 4 inch drainage pipe if i can make them fit perfectly.​

​

I'm going to say no. They won't have enough "dwell time", where the air sits in the filter, to remove enough of the scent. It may help remove some but I don't think it will cut it during full flowering time.

You say there is a vent pipe for the air exhaust? I would build your own carbon filter that can fit into the pipe. Use some sort of mesh garden fabric and create a "sock" that you can stuff into the exhaust pipe. If it fits nicely you can also pull it out to exchange the carbon pellets when it's depleted.

I've build a couple bucket scrubbers to help cover scent. The 4" and 6" filters do a good job but never quite 100% and for me that is essential to survival. I use EnviroSupply here in the US, their pellets are very good and decently cheap. Carbon pellets are generally expensive but for a buckets worth these are the best price I've found. I see them on Amazon and with my VPN it says shipping available to the Netherlands so probably to your area as well.

This bucket: You want the 4mm pellets not the flaked aquarium stuff.

Another option is the "Kitchen Compost Bin" carbon filters. They are carbon filter disks. I have them stuffed in the unused in/out ports on my tents. You could try layering a few of these on the ends of the pellets to give a bit of shape. Or jam the pipe chock a bock full of them and create a massive pancake filter. I don't know how well they actually capture scent. Could be total crap but eh, cheap.

BTW...is that Usual and I've not noticed before.................or is it New....on the fert panel...?

Electrical conductivity...............

I bought a truckload of rough-sawn white oak 2x6 lumber from an Amish sawmill in Conewango Valley, NY a few years ago (for dock posts). When I picked it up they handed me an MSD (Material Safety Data Sheet), listing all the dangers associated with wood dust. So the Amish are way ahead of Home Depot in complying with Federal regulations.

You can but my the 24x24” panels at Wally World of the carbon filters and cut to fit. They also have activated carbon filter panels in the pet section for fish tanks and sell the tubs of activated carbon there as well, same section.

Pretty common for coco to give a ec and pH if it's sold as washed and buffered

HAPPY CATURDAY............................anybody got anything Nice Planned.......?

Rainy day, and a little woozy from the shingles vaccine yesterday, but here's the plan:
Feed my baby sister's 3 cats 8am, 8pm while she's off camping.
Catch up on overenight posts on AFN.
Re-activate rain-barrels now that freeze danger is past.
Plant cold-hardy plants in the community garden (mustard, kale, choy, arrugula, calaloo).
Lunch with 101 y.o. dad (wife is making sancocho de gallina).
Put together the pieces I've collected for my DIY press, and maybe try my first press.
Deliver groceries to a homeless refugee fam, and play with the kids.
Right now it's time to feed the plants (Jean-O's WTF and Mephisto Sundae Thumper).
I think I'll vape some WTF first, then see about the rest...
