Hello there. I am setting up a grow in a DR80 tent. Planning everything out, and I am looking at carbon scrubbers, both retail, and DIY.
A lot of the carbon filters I see have the duct opening on one end, and a solid end on the other. To me, that means it goes at the end of the chain, all of the exhaust ends up going into the filter. Is this correct on the models I am seeing with the closed end?
My confusion is because, well, I have 2 questions.
1. Wouldn't the filter being the "dead end" for the exhaust build up pressure inside? And if so, wouldn't that end up being a bad thing?
2. I would think that the carbon scrubber in the beginning of the chain would be better since the inline fans are better at pulling than pushing. Is my thinking misguided? And if in the beginning of the chain, wouldn't both ends of the scrubber need to be open for air to fully flow through them?
Ok, Educate me on the carbon scrubbers, and where you put them in the chain. Thanks.
