Would this work like a carbon filter?

I was looking at odor eliminators and I stumbled across this product

It says the machine uses carbon filters that must be changed every so often.

So would one of these eliminate the smell of a small grow? Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks :D
 
Nothing comes close to a carbon filter.

Even then some smell can escape. Very little...But some.

Filters pull ALL air through the carbon. Things used to cover up smell dont do this.

It could work, but you should check out how much it costs to replace the used filters as they may not last very long.

walmatt-56 cubic feet you have, you should be filtering that whole room every 4 min, you need a min of 14 cubic feet per min. filtering that room. What size light? You should get a 4" inline fan + a small carbon filter to cool your light, room, and also scrub your air. This would be a good exhasut and filtration for that size room. Most inline 4" fans are aroun 130-170 cfm.
 
Those little kitty litter box fresheners just do not cut the mustard. You would need to pay more for replacements over the course of a single grow than it would cost to just pick up a proper filter and fan right from the start.
 
I just bought a big sheet of carbon filter replacement from home depot and cut it down, makes around 8 filters for a 6" exhaust fan and I will personally only use 4 on 2 grows, the sheet was $15 I think, I just dont want to order that stuff online. It works good so far, couldnt smell my bagseeds all the way through and I am 40 days in on my 1 blue hash and 2 OG Kushes and I still cant smell it :2cents:

I am also using some of the carbon pre-filter sheets on my grow i don't know how well they are working yet but should know be for two long my girls are at week 4 of flower now so the smell is picking up.
