    Wink Help with carbon filter

    Hi I'm going to get a grow tent but was wondering how it works and where does it need to go to? I'm new to this so don't be harsh

    It goes wherever you can fit it mate. It works by allowing you to grow plants without anyone seeing.
    Carbon filters attach to an in-line fan to safely eliminate odours.

    the carbon filter can be inside or outside the tent depending if you suck or blow air through it via a extraction fan - they eliminate the odour

    Best to have it at the top of the tent as the stale air rises to the top and the good air goes to the bottom. you dont want it in a place where its going to suck your good air straight out. Make sure your fan is rated slightly lower than your filter or the air will get sucked through to quickly for the filter to do its job properly.

    Lost soul I'm 19. And does 1 end of it have to be outside the tent or be outside the window?

    It usually goes like this -
    Carbon Filter - duct - fan - duct - out -
    You can run it so it blows through it on the outside if you don't have enough space in your tent, it goes like this -
    duct - fan - duct - carbonfilter - out
    Cheers

    Just hang it off the pole at the top of the tent. If you havnt got any hangers use tie wraps. No it does not have to be sticking out of the tent. just hang it inside. connect it to your fan using a short bit of duct. Then connect abit of duct to the other end of your fan and have that duct going outside the tent. Have the fan sucking through the filter blowing the air out of the tent.

    You need to have somewhere to extract the hot air out to though or it's pointless.
