The best thing i did about my carbon filtering is that i closed all passive intake openings and now negative pressure is at its best ..plus fan is working harder so air is not going out too fast and makes filter more efficient at eliminating odor
In some of the first growing books I did read that CAN/Fan is supposed to be at one end so it draws air across all plants. If your in the middle your only drawing air over half the plants.
I'm setting up a grow tent for first time. I currently have the carbon filter hooked up directly to the air flow that is exiting the tent . My question is how does the carbon filter absorb the odor when there is no opening on it to collect odor. The open end is connected to the air flow thing that pushes the air outside the tent? Lol if anyone could understand this an answer would be appreciated. 😊
Before attaching the fan using the padded collar, a good rule of thumb is to wrap the collar of the filter with quality duct tape. This allows your fitments to be a bit more snug n secure, increasing air tightness, i always loosly wrap duct tape round the collar of my filters, just something i picked up over the last 25 plus years folks. When i started their was NO internet, had to buy The Marijuana Growers handbook, by Ed Rosenthal, also a guide by Jorge Cervantes along with a few mags n free copies of soft secrets, but i found it better to follow 1 grower, as every grower has their own way,..some prune fan leaves, some don't, some top, some don't, some SCRog, SEAog, FIM, LST or au Natural,!! Best to learn from your own mistakes i say, just one growers IMHO,!! Happy growing,, Scotland UK x
Hi great video, if I'm correctly using a carbon filter and fan inside my tent and having a reserve inline filter outside of my tent would I 1. Need another fan sucking the air after my 2nd inline filter and 2. On guestimation what % of odour would be eliminated in your opinion. Ty
hey mate, having the intake filter causes you to be constantly sucking new air in whilst replacing the air in the tent, so theoretically if done correct and it's all spec'd properly, you'd get no smells! Top Tip, to achieve negative pressure, go a size down for your intake to maintain correct air movement in the grow space!
can you put an additional MASSIVE carbon filter on the exterior of the tent, directly hooked into the ducting exhaust you sent out the side? to further mitigate smell?
Yeah man 100%, we'd always recommend looking into Ozone if you're struggling with smells outside the tent; they kill smells dead in their tracks and is perfectly safe when used correctly. Here's a link so you can have a look :) www.onestopgrowshop.co.uk/products/g-a-s-airozone-in-duct-ozone-generator If you need anything else, give us a shout dude!
Hi there how's it going? I had a question for you. I do not have much room in my 2 by 2 tent and was wondering if I could put the inline fan on the outside of the tent ducting it into the tent and a separate duct that will let air exhaust out of tent. BTW I'm not going to use a carbon filter. Would this be sufficient? If not what would you recommend?
Hey dude, so you mainly use your extraction to control smells in your grow room, if you don't need to worry about smells, you could place the fan outside and suck the air out rather than blow it out? I'd make sure your fan is powerful enough as you'll have more of a load on there as you'd duct from your tent to your fan, and then duct from the other end of the fan outside. Let me know if you need anymore information dude!
Really enjoying your uploads. If you do requests is there any chance of an alien easy feed system. Using the carbo and silenced kit with the gas controller with the splitter. Amazing levels of airflow. Anyway, well done on your uploads guys 👍
Hey Mark! Cheers for the kind words dude! Systems are definately something we're working on dude so we'll try and get an alien easy feed in there too for you!
I want to send air out of my roomk through a sliding glass door. Is there some kind of attachement that allows the round ducting to go out while blocking the rest of the door to the outside?
I have no way of venting out of my house. Can you please advise if 2 filters one inside the tent and one outside would be overkill or if it would really reduce the smell inside my flat?
Hey dude, ideally you'd vent out (to a window maybe?)... you could filter it back into your room, but there's going to be moisture in the air and that can cause mould to build up inside your room mate. You could perhaps run a long length of thick ducting through your flat and into your bathroom maybe (use the vents in the wall?) Let us know if this helps dude and we'll do more digging for you if not, Cheers mate
U alright mate, so does the ducting just go straight out a window? Or a hole in the wall for example and that’s it? No smells will be coming out? Thanks
Hey dude, so once the air is sucked through the filter, it's clean and smell free thanks to the carbon - simply vent it outside and that's it! If you wanna know anything else give us a shout!
One Stop Grow Shop yo man I got another question haha, with a carbon filter can u just put it in the corner of a loft or something? Or does it need be vented outside
@@zbg7819 you hang it in the room you want to remove smells from dude, you'd need to vent it out for sure though as the air coming out of that will be damp, cheers mate

The air that comes out of the filter will be clean and smell free, so you can extract it to outside or if not in the room will be just fine! Completely depends on your setup and space, thanks for the comment!
@@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics If you're in a small room you would want to vent outside of that room because over time the oxygen in the air will increase and the carbon dioxide decrease in that room because all the fresh air you're exhausting into the room has more oxygen in it (from plant respiration). If it's a big room it doesn't matter.
Why do I see some people have the inline fan running outside the grow tent and then the inline fan sometimes in the grow tent and even connected to the filter I'm confused

@@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics so the ducting isnt connected to anything in the outside?? This video is awesome if it works like this lol I dont have a window in the room and wife will complain about the smell lol
I have probably a dumb question. Why are we purifying air that we are pulling out of the grow tent and not they air we allow in? I just trying to understand the process. I feel like this setup pulls the crappy air from inside the tent and the air filter cleans it and then shoots cleaner air out the exhaust pipe. Why don't we instead PULL air into the tent with the purifier so that way the plants have better protection? If the filter catches mold and mildew as it pulls the air out of the tent doesn't that mean the filter full with the mold and mildew is sitting right inside the tent?
Hey mate, so... When setting your extraction up, you want to achieve something called "negative pressure". This makes sure you're pulling more air out of your tent than you're sucking in, and not having any smells leak out of your tent. You do it this way is because you want to eliminate all smells from leaking to the outside of your room/tent, so you filter it out (using the carbon filter and extraction system) back into the room with clean air. If you just blew air in, the odours inside the tent would build up and cause you problems with smells.

I was told to have positive pressure in the tent, just like a computer case works. This video contradicts my current knowledge. Anyone care to chime in? Positive or negative pressure is better?
you want negative pressure all day long.... it stops smells from leaking out your tent, it's that simple! Always have a bigger outtake than intake, this is the easiest way to achieve negative pressure in your grow room!
Where can I get a fast clamp in the U.S? I tried ordering from the site you provided but says can’t calculate shipping and won’t let me proceed to check out
While installing my carbon filter I could hear the carbon material in the metal box and it was actually falling or leaking into the box or tube(whatever you call it). Is this normal?
Hey mate, you'll get a slight amount of movement in the carbon and even a little bit of dust on the inside is normal, but if it's anymore than that we'd suggest investing in a higher quality carbon filter just to be sure. We'd recommend the CarboAir range of filters, they're the best in the industry! www.onestopgrowshop.co.uk/products?utf8=%E2%9C%93&keywords=carboair
@@OneStopGrowShopHydroponics bro but how do I hook it up? Do I just take a hammer to the side of my vents in my basement? It's like a normal house, what do I do? The vents are made of solid metal. I think all of em are tho lol
its easier to keep the fan and filter outside the tent. Suck out the tent and blow through the filter. The filters last longer and more space inside the tent.
Hey! You're quite right, you would have more room in your tent if you do that, but we recommend the setup you've seen because most filters are designed to be sucked through rather than blown through (which can cause issues with back pressure), although if your method works for you that's great! Each setup will be slightly different and the one shown is the most common and easiest way for those looking to start growing.
