Growing Indoors and Using a Carbon Filter
plenty growers of medical marijuana absolutely love the smell of that sweet sweet ganja. However, that doesn’t mean the neighbor likes that sweet fragrance. They may take that smell as a completely bad thing and could actually end up calling the police which would unquestionably bring to pass quite the annoyance for even the legal grower. I have noted lots of stories of law enforcement ending legal grows because they didn’t check first. This can end up being gigantic losses for the grower. Instead of worrying about the odor given off by your flowering plants, it is usually suggested to use a carbon filter or something much the same to remove the odor from the air.
Carbon filters enlist activated charcoal to expunge the air of odors. Activated carbon is “activated” by an oxygenation process. The oxygen activates the charcoal by opening up millions of microscopic pores between the carbon atoms. This opens up an assortment of room for the carbon to “suck up” the odors emitted by marijuana. This chemical bonding of the carbon atoms to the scent removes the scent from the air on all counts and traps it chemically to the surface of the charcoal.
Carbon filters come in a wide range of sizes. They can be assorted feet tall with a wide diameter or they can be the size of a copious cup. This unquestionably depends on the volume of air that you are required to scrub clean. The more area and the more air you are moving (CFM), the larger carbon filter you will need to correctly filter the air of those undesired odors. Most of the time the carbon filters you will end up buying are in fact really basic pieces of apparatus. They are normally in a cylindrical structure with an open core. But in the walls of the filter, it is serried with that activated charcoal.
It is as a rule advocated to hook up your carbon filter inside your grow environment. This is to ensure that the air is being sucked into the filter, rather than pressured through. If you put the filter on the end of your exhaust where the air is being pushed out, it will keep the odor from escaping, but it will also seriously limit your exhaust air flow. By sucking the air through the filter first, thus exhausting it, you are able to go on with almost the same airflow as you had before adding the filter.
