    Default tight for space and money here is my cheap filter and pump

    i have no i deal why people dont make smaller ac so i have a mission to diy my own and save myself important space no so much money lol but it did work out alot cheaper than the stuff you have to buy from a shop tho. so i have a flowering space measures 77x55x130cm so that gives me a volume mass of 110.1 so it not the biggest space in the world so i need to make good use of every inch of the space i have got here is how i when about solving my problem.

    3-4 meters of vacuum hoses inner diameter of 250mm and over different sizes depends on the air box you have
    1 85w air pump

ID:	29105 this is how the pump works i choose a nozzle from the petrol can is because it has a screw cap so if you wanted to vent the hot air out to so pipping that is already in the house then its easy to connect it all together. what i have got is a pollen filter from a car so you need to get into the filler and take all the housing and rubber bits of as you dont need that. now drill alottttttt of holes in the bottom of the box remember the the air will past the air filter 1st then the pollen filter so this will help the pollen filter last longer now just connect up all the pipping and remember to use the silicon to make sure its a air tight seal and now just connect to the pump and the wiring and your ready to go.

    This is for your extraction? Are you growing with hps?

    Well good luck but if you're running hps, it doesn't look like it would cope

    Ummm, in that case. First, what are you doing about heat if this isn't for that? oscilating fans are for circulation not cooling.
    And second, I don't wanna put a downer on things, but I don't think a pollen filter is gonna do shit about the smell unless its an activated carbon one. You need some active carbon somewhere along the lines as thats what kills smell molecules

    but if you think bout it is the thc what makes the plant smell and it dosing smell too bad until it starts flowering which produces pollen so if i can get sommit that filters out pollen in theory it should work if not its easy enough to add some activated carbon afterwards i just have to see how it goes. im getting a liquid cooling system like what you find in a pc so again have to see how it goes fingers cross it all wrks lol

    Your theory is severely flawed my friend.
