Whats an inexpensive way for me to remove contaminates from my incoming air supply?

Thinking a pre filter cut to size over intake any ideas?

Ya know man, u dont need to start a thread for every question u have. More than likely if u have a question about it someone else has too. U should take a min and learn how to use the sites search function or start a grow diary thread and ask ur questions there

With a glue gun, here's a down and dirty method with some cheese cloth. That won't stop anything but bugs from getting into your grow.

Put the filter on both flat and accordion style

kinda considering if it's really a concern to get one of those dust shrooms. They're supposed to allow proper air flow while cleaning intake air. Expensive though :/
