Wanted to know what the concept of a charcoal filter is, Is it too filter the air that your blowin out the window, or cleaning the air coming into the grow box? And if I had a ceiling fan for a bathroom would that work as an intake exhaust????


Can someone tell me where to go to get the cheapest 400 watt HPS???

Carbon filters can be used as an intake which filters your air to keep undesirable pests out of your room. They are also used for the outake to cover up the odors from flowering plants.

If you have a sealed room with some sort of cooling system (ac unit) then you can run CO2 at around 1200-1500 ppm. If not you're gonna want a fresh air intake and an out take. You want good air flow.

get the growbright bulb upgrade for $4. An air cooled hood would also be a good idea.
A carbon filter is to control smell of the air thats leaving the grow area.

there is no such thing as a intake exhaust its one or the other unless u meant to run a bath fan for intake and one for exhaust

depends on how many cubic feet room is most bath fans move 50-55 cfms thats weak
