As we discussed on our "Horticultural ventilation" advice page, odor management odor management is an important aspect of indoor cultivation. The most common method of odor treatment is the use of a carbon filter.
What is a carbon filter?
Carbon filters take the form of a cylinder filled with activated carbon, i.e. they have the capacity to retain volatile molecules. They come in a range of sizes and weights, depending on their capacity. For indoor cultivation, the charcoal filter should be connected to an extractor via a duct and placed high up in your grow room, suspended. If you opt for this system, you'll need to pay close attention to the humidity of your growing space. The higher the level, the less effective the filter. It's up to you to strike the right balance between plant comfort and filter efficiency.
How do I install a carbon filter?
In the classic way, the carbon filter should be installed high up, connected to theextractor by a duct.
But you can also opt for installation on a ventilated reflector.
Please note: The above diagrams are only intended to explain how to install a charcoal filter. This is not a complete installation.
Now that you've got everything you need, all you have to do is choose the charcoal filter that's right for you.
