Where to Put Carbon Filter in a Grow Room?

What Is A Carbon Filter?
A carbon filter is a type of air filter that serves a very specific purpose. Here we are referring to air filtration units. Carbon filters are also used for marijuana grow rooms. The purpose of a carbon filter is to remove impurities from the air, and when it comes to grow rooms, this can be quite important in terms of plant health and your overall results.

Carbon filters are chemical media filters and they have the ability to remove odors from the air, volatile organic compounds, and more. There are actually many airborne pathogens that can negatively affect your weed plants, to the point of them dying, and this is something which a carbon filter can help with.

What to Look for In a Carbon Filter?
Pre-filter. Many carbon filters now come packaged with pre-filters that you put outside of your carbon filter. This pre-filters helps in reducing particles like dust from getting into the carbon filter. Not only will this improve the lifespan of the carbon filter itself, but also the inline fan or other equipment you use with your carbon filter.
Carbon Thickness. When the carbon is thicker, the absorption will be greater, which makes the carbon filter more effective in controlling odor. Because thicker carbon filters are more efficient, you should expect a higher price tag for them.

The place for your filter is in the exhaust system. Can-Lite activated carbon filters mount easily to Can-Fan and Max-Fan exhaust fans for long-lasting, consistent filtering performance with minimal resistance to cause airflow loss. Can-Lite fans and filters can be hung from grow tent supports or attached to solid surfaces in rooms with walls or ceilings.

The filter should be mounted on the intake side of the fan to remove contaminants before they reach the fan housing. Can-Lite filters come with pre-filters to keep dust, mold, and other particles from clogging the activated charcoal in the filter itself, so you should be pulling air through the filter rather than pushing air into it.

Step 1: If growing in a marijuana grow tent, you can simply attach it to the aluminum or steel bars at the top of the tents’ structure, using the straps that the tent should already have to keep it steady. This can be done simply, without the help of anyone else.

Step 2: The next step involves attaching your aluminum or soundproofed ducting to your filter – make sure to get the right sizes or you’ll be quite disappointed. The ducting then needs to go all the way to the air extraction system or to your cooltube and then your extraction fan if you’re using a cooled lighting system.

Step 3: All you have left to do is connect your extraction fan to the outlet you previously made (in your room) or the extractor fan outlet in your grow tent. Now, all you have to do is turn your extraction fan on and make sure that there are no leaks – you’re ready to grow!

How does it work?
Carbon filters for grow tent are the most essential equipment for fighting with the pollutants, harmful particles, allergens or odors.

They contain activated carbon beds. Activated carbons are significantly processed with the highest gas trapping capability. This is a kind of charcoals.

However, the particles have a definite surface space around it. Also, they are full of little pores. There is 3000m2 surface remaining in each gram of carbon.
