The only problem is I need...

    Carbon Filter running in enclosed space

    So it seems like all the carbon filter set-ups I've seen have people running their exhaust air through a carbon filter and out of the room. My question is, if I have a completely enclosed room to grow in is there any reason to actually exhaust the air that comes out of the filter, or can I just...

    So I've been thinking about adding a filtration system into my nutrient reservoir for my aeroponic system to help prevent clogged misters. Does anyone know if I run my nutes through a Brita carbon filter if it will filter out any of my nutrients?

    Increase Surface Area for Quicker Drying

    When it comes time to dry your bud, would it increase your drying time if you cut all your buds down to about the size of a gram? If you did this, would it effect the quality of your bud? My feeling is the more surface area exposed to dry air, the quicker the bud will dry...
