    That didn't happen with my filter although it had been on suck duty previously. (Ooh err missus)

    If the possibility bothers you, leave the sleeve on for a few days and it will collect whatever dust is going to come out.

    I lowered the carbon filter into one of the corners for now that’s given me another foot roughly but I had to move the light to do it and had to switch it off for about half an hour and just wondered if that would fuck a photoperiod up
    Cheers

    I’m thinking of starting a diary for the second half of the photoperiod when I flip her but wasn’t sure if it’s worth it I was thinking it might stop me spamming the forum with questions

    If you're sucking you put the pre filter over the carbon filter, if blowing you can put the pre filter inside the carbon filter.
    The filters are designed to work both ways, if charcoal is coming out that would be a product failure.

    Cheers m8 I’ve just left the sleeve on it for now and put it lowish in the corner so I could get a bit more height for the light for now but I will have to put it on top of the drobe when I flip them I think, I know very little about photos but she’s gonna be big I think

    I'll keep my eye out for your diary

    Also, do you have a piece of sturdy board or something similar to put on top of your tent to sit the fan/filter on? Or are you going to hang it from the ceiling?
