swett smell carbod filter?

[adorno]

sweet-ish smell coming from my vent, is this what carbon filters make the air smell like? or is it not workig (though i dont think any of myplants smell yet)

again, i think i should have probably put this in my grow thread. sorry for cross posting

yea , i think i know what smell you're talking about. I've found that when the carbon filter is 'working', you'll smell a sweet smell.

I wonder what that sweet smell IS

interesting indeed. i thought that was just my fan running hot or something. actually the smell got less intense after running the filter for some weeks...yet, sweet it is. not strong, but very much there. nothing like weed of course...

could it be the cheaper cocunut based carbon (i read about in another thread just now http://cgi.ebay.com/Activated-Carbo...hZ006QQcategoryZ43555QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem) could epxlian the sweetness

so is it the kind of carbon then? or is it my filter thats wrong, or does all caron filters smell like this? i thought it would nto smell at all, maybe somethings wrong
