What this guy said^^^^^Honestly I recommend you to NOT make a DIY carbon FILTER.
Not saying it won't work. You would be better off just buying one online. You can get discreet shipping. It will come in a brown box. Match a fan to the CFM rating to the filter.
I think it would be hard to match the cfm on the fan to the DIY filter. You would essentially be guessing and hoping it works.
Being a first time grower, you will have paranoid times, you will hear shit, peak out your windows.
Having a carbon filter you know is properly sized will give you a better piece of mind.
All the paranoia thoughts will go away. Just don't tell anyone and you won't get caught. Make sure your smells do not linger anywhere.
In my garage I have a fully built room. You can't smell a thing at all. I do not worry one bit.
I wish you the best of luck.
Pictures.What's up guys. I thought I would throw up a little update. I tried to get 4 seeds to go, 2 from seedsman and 2 from sos. The 2 from sos both took but one from seedsman just rotted in the bag. So that left me with 3 to grow and they went into 5 gallon buckets with an organic mix. I topped each once and then did LST with some wires until about 3 weeks of flower. At about week 5 when they looked nice and bushy and even, I flipped to 12/12. I also took a clone from each, unfortunately I did not document what clone came from what plant. at week 6 I added the 150 MH and I also used the LEDs and CFLs for supplemental. At week 7-8 I realized my one plant from seedsman was a male... balls everywhere. I moved it out and stuck an LED on it continuing 12. I decided I to harvest the pollen. 4 days later it was dropping pollen, close call. At around week 10 or 11 I moved the girls out of the grow room and used an artist paint brush and brushed a few lower flowers with pollen. So I have some hybrid iced grapefruit X tropical berry seeds on the way hopefully. Oh yeah back to the clones I stuck some rooting hormone on them and stuck them in some cups with drainage and some damp peat moss. I put them in a bucket with a single cfl with the lid closed and vented once a day. All 3 took. Then I had the problem of one being a male and have no idea whitch one so I potted up the clones and stuck them back in the flower room. Once the male was found he was destroyed and the other 2 went back to the bucket with 24/o cfl. One girl continues to flower is there anything else I can do to force it to re-veg? I want to keep it around as a mother. The 2 original plants are looking pretty good to my eye. starting to get sticky and they really do smell citrusy. Polination appears to have worked. Looking at my plants though there are a few random seed pods so I think there may have been just a touch of pollen before I got the male out or it drifted back in the grow room. I only had it about 10ft away but down wind. I have used just a bit of organic fert a couple times but I think I am just going to use a worm casting tea from here on out. I am guessing I have 3-5 more weeks to go. When should I go to just water or does it not matter with that? Also some of my lower leaves are turning yellow. I am not sure if I watered to often a couple times or if it is an N deffeciency. Any thoughts? I am trying to be pretty conservative at this point.
Hello welcome to the farm.
If this is your first grow I advise a 250w HPS as previously I've had troubles with a 600w & 400. The heat produced from them would kill out the plants within a couple days.
You want a constant stable everything that will create you a decent fair plant.
Be patient and take time learning stuff, there's never too much to read or learn.
Don't worry too much about nutrients and feeds, rain water is high in nutes.
You can buy whole starter kits for under 250$
Thanks!
