    I'm definitely using this design for a small 1 plant Autoflower ( Think Different) CFL grow- should be perfect with recycled computer fans!
    Should keep me supplemented while my bigger grow area is going!

    Ive done the same thing in the past but bought everything at the aquatics shop - used two sizes of mesh pond plant pots instead of the pen holders. Only use this once the smell becomes apparent because the carbon doesnt last forever
    Hit me with music. Brutalise me with music.

    Poor some carbon in the mesh like "pencil cup"



    .... just enough so the smaller cup is level with the larger cup.



    Slip the smaller cup into the sock




    Tuck the sock into the smaller cup holding the end of the sock. Pore in the carbon.. keep holding the end of the sock.




    Now pull on the end of the sock and use your finger to guide the carbon into the space between both cups until filled.




    Now pull the end of the sock over the entire filter.. twist the end of the sock at the bottom and pull it up over the end of the cup.





    Now simply use duck-tape to place the filter over your exhaust fan. I used a rubber band to secure it...



    That's pretty much it. Make sure its nice and tightly packed in and put the fan at either end.
    I would pull air through it rather than push it.

    Must say its not my tutorial, but it is a good one.
