InPotiTrust : sweet filter dude. do you get extra good airflow with that?
dtoker: i rememberd you using a cd spindle on yours so i started making mine. i just left the top part of the cd spindle on and used my soldering iron to make holes all around it. took forever and wish i would have just bought some of the stuff you got
great thread

pHaroaH I'm in late flowering right now with 18 plants and u would be hard pressed to smell anything from the cab.Since it's so cheap and easy to change the material i'll just change it after every run.

bump! keep this thread alive people! lovin all the new ideas that you all have been giving me. I am right now trying to figure out how to mount my diy carbon scrubber. I just don't know how I want to do it. Will post pics once installed.

I think a good idea to mount your carbon scrubber is to fabricate a sheet metal flang. I'll be doing one myself in about a week so I can install my 5" fan into my new mother room. I'll be using one of these ideas off this thread and will post my results while it happens.
I really like dtokers design.

i make mine using 2in diameter abs pipe and couplers.
sort of like this :
80mm pc fan
^
2in tall abs cut
^
screen material
^
abs coupler (full of carbon) screens are above and below
^
screen material
^
abs pipe
they take up a super small footprint and can be routed in any direction.

Connoisseur300 - Yeah i just made a a wooden type flange that i just cut to a square and put a 4" hole in the middle. Thanks
I tried it out and it seems like my filter is too restrictive in air flow. I am using a 120mm 89cfm pc fan and it just doesnt push through it. I know I should be sucking through the filter and out the fan but due to space I can't do that. I am going to try and different style filter diy and see if it works. let you all know on the new design.

Heres my filter, made from wire mesh from frying pan splash guards from a home ware store, and a hot glue gun to hold seams and seal areas you want sealed with liberal amounts of hot glue (hey it works and its easy lol). Got my idea from sugabear & numurous other micro growers threads, i wouldnt grow with out it, just recharged it the other day 99% no smell, if you poke your nose in the outlit you can smell something but it doesnt smell like weed at all, just like stale air.
Peace Greendrumb.

how do you all handle the dust?
Thorough pre-washing. Wrap final setup in panty hose or filter media.
maybe i need a new brand of crbon. i washed it before i used it. boy what a mess that was. had to wash the whole bathroom afterwards so many black smudges everywhere. and as aoon as it was dry again here comes the dust. ive got "filter media" in the form of polyester batting/fill the same as everyone is using up there except mine isnt compressed into sheets its just loose and im packing it myself. im using 2 stockings one outside and one inside. still as im taping my filter to the exhaust im getting fine black dust all over everything. i can only imagine how its going to look after 24 hours of slow air flowing through it.

I am wondering if everyone is using DurbanPoison formula to find the size their scrubber should be and if that matters that much? Also is there to much(am sure it can be too little to scrub right) area of the scrubber that would not scrub the air right. Meaning can it be too big?
