Home made carbon filter

[Joker]

1 week after the switch to 12/12 these baby's are skunkin the whole house up. Had not yet bought a filter so I decided to try to make my own first. Bought a carbon furnace filter for 10 bucks and wrapped around a plastic screen frame. Don't know how well it will work, just put it on so we'll see. Hopefully another week and the males will have shown.

Lol, hopefully one more week and half or more will be gone. The po-boy filter seems to work fine, flowering will put it to the real test though.

before we left home i was researching and found this link in 420 for a home made filter - i'll paste it and let you all decide if any of it is helpful. I haven't had to try to make one (yet)

saturn, i did a bunch a research too and the link to the one that you posted is the one that i found that looked the most promising... i'm not building it until i need it and like joker i plan on using something much more lightweight than a bucket. i'll post if i come up with something good...

WOW! that's ALOT OFWORK JUST TO BUILD A FILTER. Easier to buy one pre made cheaper in the long run as well.
