Carbon Filter and Fan Setup

Atlantis Hydroponics™ presents an instructional grow room video on how to setup a Viagrow™ carbon filter and fan for grow room odor control. This fully comprehensive video will have you filtering your grow room and indoor growing in no time!

[@Strewgle]

Thank you so much for posting this video, I now understand carbon filters :)

[@andyaim4764]

That type of installation will create a lot of excess noise through vibration. If you suspend the fan and filter from rubber cords most of the vibration will be absorbed by the elastic.

[@lostcoastlocal7073]

Im running 2 of these. Dual exhaust baby!

Thinking of doing the same, how did it go?

How does the air get into carbon filter with no opening in the end ?

[@ANTH0NYtube]

Instruction should be to each tent, depending on the size, number of holes and their locations. Lazy manufacturers

[@matheusperez3051]

Can someone show me how to actually use the straps to hang the carbon filter ASAP!? I have a whole bunch of straps and don't know how to use them

[@tripbag381]

Nah man, the straps I have that came with my tent are garbage. The damn thing just doesn't lock together and stay together (It's a strap fed through a buckle, and not velcro). I literally hang shit at work all day long using ropes and harnesses, but these straps just won't stay on lol. Get yourself some good fasteners if the straps that came with your filter or tent don't work. Personally, I don't trust a strap that is kept together by velcro, anyways. When hanging items, always use redundant safeties. Find some 2 foot long UV resistant zip ties somewhere, and go to town lol

i'm making a new gaming pc setup.. .. and i want to know what do you recommend to get a roam clear of dust...& sorry for my english : )

[@FrankP2491]

I usually take a duster and go around wiping the room down. I typically vacuum first and clean my windows while I am at it. Once sometimes several times a week give it a shot let me know how it works!

[@PeggyPegg]

Thank you. This was exactly the simple and to the point and *specific* help I needed. Keep up the good work.

[@jonnyc2.047]

Peggy A here supposed to take 10 foil and wrap up half of your carbon filter all carbon filters our only. 3 quarters or 79% of the way with carbon so there's going to go past the lease resistance spot meaning the spot at the top or the bottom whatever way you have it listed sitting or killed it and there's going to be no fucking carbon to filter out your smell so y'all want to know how to get past this take 10 foil and some electrical doc tape whatever and wrap half of your filter with 10 foil and leave the other half I want to the air only goes through one half of your filter working like it should then when it gets extremely dirty switch sides and you don't have to buy another filter you already had a whole nother half of your can fan filter to use just take the tent oil off rewrap the other side which is the bottom half of your filter look up videos on people wrapping half of their can filter because carbon only Falls 80 percent of it

[@bluewidow9151]

Huhh just buy good product there's no need to be wrapping your filter with tinfoil lol

[@chrisrosenkreuz23]

and inefficient

[@chrisrosenkreuz23]

@@bluewidow9151 yeah you go throw away 50 bucks on a "good product" althewhile thinking it does anything more than my pringles can wrapped with tinfoil and filled with active carbon does. You go do that, it's your money. But you're really getting the short end here buddy

[@PianoXfan1]

Kinda surprised they have the duct coming out the top of the tent at a 90 degree angle when they could have had it going out straight through at a 180. A 90 degree bend in your duct will cripple air flow, unless you have a decent enough inline fan.

[@guabiju803]

I was going to tell this too

[@1MNUTZ]

he explained why in the video "air on the ground is often 5 degrees cooler" he put it at the top of the tent because that's where all the heat rises to the top of the tent so you're extracting the hot air from the room and not the cooler air at the bottom. Also that fan could be oversized to begin with and pulls more cfm than the actual cubic feet of the tent

[@damienbell2207]

dave setchell youd be suprised those little powerful fans are unbelievably powerful.

[@squirtleturtle6256]

I have probably a dumb question. Why are we purifying air that we are pulling out of the grow tent and not they air we allow in? I just trying to understand the process. I feel like this setup pulls the crappy air from inside the tent and the air filter cleans it and then shoots cleaner air out the exhaust pipe. Why don't we instead PULL air into the tent with the purifier so that way the plants have better protection? If the filter catches mold and mildew as it pulls the air out of the tent doesn't that mean the filter full with the mold and mildew is sitting right inside the tent?

[@colbywilson9111]

You can have a filter for both intake and exhaust but it’s not 100% necessary so I think people do the exhaust only because it will still pull air in the intakes by creating air pressure

[@nkelsmith4516]

Omg your the ONLY VIDEO that shows how to install this! Wow I’m subscribing. Thank you so much man

[@SolomonIsGod1]

a 90 angle can cut 50% of your air flow - your ventilation must be a straight line for better performance

[@MarsHydro_official]

How many kinds of plants can be included in your this tent,we have such eight kinds tent in our stock.

[@518EsK]

The material used probably doesnt allow a proper fitting.. Even if it did duct tape would still ensure a solid seal

[@chuckdanko3493]

Jason yes you can mount the fan outside the tent. Just be sure to mount your carbon filter at the top of your tent as heat rises and collects up there. The video stated that the carbon kills mold and pythium. That is a fallacy. All the carbon does is trap it. Also if your going to run MH or HPS 600-1000w like I do that wimpy little fan shown is not going to get the job done IMHO. I run a Canfan with 740 cfm in a 8'8' tent. And the fan is mounted outside of the tent for more head room. Always remember in setting up ventilation that you want the fan to pull not push. Its more efficient that way. Always have your fan at the end of the vent line

[@cong3768]

im a bit confused what size carbon filter would i need for a 120x120x200 tent im using a 600w led and do i need to cover the tents air vents and buy an intake fan if want to hide odor or will i be safe forgetting about the intake fan and just leaving the air vents uncovered as long as i have a carbon filter in the tent i no its probably a dumb question but im really confused id be thankfull for any advice

[@chrisrosenkreuz23]

bro do you even airpressure? I mean everything else is fine but your fan is literally pushing against itself with every bend and your output is most likely less then half your input at the other end. and to top it all off you ran that duct down to the ground where hot air naturally doesn't want to go. just put the carbon filter directly vertical on top your hole, no ducts, no bends: you will see MAJOUR improvements

[@sstimac]

This is some janky ass shit. 90° bend in ducting up and out, securing ducting to your shitty fan with aluminum tape because it's a shitty fit, securing the shitty filter to the shitty fan with aluminum tape again because it's a shitty fit, and then securing it to your bars with zip ties.

[@mirracobiker99]

Do you need a carbon filter? I plan on buying just a exhaust fan and ducting

[@michaelwalker1964]

Yes mate u need 1or u be blowing weed smell around the place

[@salatwurzel-4388]

Weed smells ALOT. Without filter, your whole room will stink like hell lol.

[@НовиСадСрбија]

The actual long size is not important for cleaning but for sound supressing. Its about how much carbon you have

[@dudemanaric]

I will be receiving my MarsHydro Reflector 144 sometime this week and I couldn't be more happy with the choice I've made. I plan on using this light to flower/veg in a 2x4x5 tent. My ceilings aren't very tall as to why I went with a 5 footer. My biggest concern is what I should do about exhaust/ventilation? There are passive air flaps on the bottom of the tent, two 6 inch ventilation holes on the sides of the tent, and one 8 inch ventilation hole on the top of the tent. Will I have room to install a 6 inch carbon filter/fan combo along with the Reflector inside of the tent? Do you recommend keeping the fan outside of the tent and the filter inside to save space? Thank you all for any help, I'm hoping at least a few of you can guide me in the right direction?

[@FUT-Franklin]

Aren't you supposed to fill your carbon filter with carbon???

[@yourlonestar]

my filter pushes through 3 tubed lights and out the tent into a vacant B vent. I have a smaller fan bringing fresh air from outside in cooler weather and from A/C basement in summer. Also have my a/c ducts in basement connected to vents in top of the tent. I only run a 600 in the summer and have the tent partitioned. Have all my stock ready for bud cycle in late Sept..

[@NoaVanSnick]

Hey, how long is your tubing in total or was?

[@GlobalGamingNews]

Why not design it for a proper fit instead of relying purely on tape to hold the duct on?

[@cprooftrill]

hey guys, just got a question. i got my exhaust juts hanging on the outside of my tent, is it ok if its like that or do i really need to have it going outside?

[@2gramsovcoke]

Yes it's fine hanging out side tent blowing in to room as long as you also have fresh air also coming in the tent lower vents window open etc.

[@ostelot1biondi800]

Can i hang my 4" carbon filter on it's end (pointing downwards), with ducting attached to fan on floor, pulling air downwards?

[@actiontalk6914]

But you don't show ways to connect fan to filter effectively.

[@abrahamdelnuncio]

looks like you put the filter on backwards

[@Newb118]

What to stop rats and any other insects entering the hole outside of tent?

[@4humanity223]

what kinda tape is that?

i swear correct me if i am wrong but u put the fan the wrong way

[@missssy8792]

Oh the air gets pumped out side the tent into your room? I thought I was going to have to make a hole in the wall to pump outside

[@salatwurzel-4388]

Do what you want. You can of course get a longer tube and direct it outside of your room (out of the window for example). But basically, what the filter does is: It "filters" the cannabis smell, so if you have a good one, there shouldnt be much of a smell in your room if you only have up to 4 plants.

[@jumpninthedarkalley]

Awe these guys are so cute with this shitty little tent

[@jonnyc2.047]

And what you really shitty show people was how the car been only goes up three quarters of the can you never showed them that you never showed them that you're should post to take 10 for or some kind of shit raffle half of it put the filter over the can because the carbon inside only feels up three quarters of it show the air doesn't even pass through the carbon showing to go to the lease resistance spot where there's no carbon at the top good job very good job

[@soulseeker42388]

You already screwed up by not making sure that ducting is securely around that exhaust fan not just matched up and taped which will allow air leaks and put resistance on the air being extracted.

[@bigbossg26w22]

Hey should you use tape like you guys did on the filter to the fan and should you hook it up to a timer our have it on 24 hrs

[@kevindrake714]

90 percent air loss when the ducting its bent that way

[@NoaVanSnick]

90% is a bit much but I also suggest avoiding bends in your ducting

What way is the air flow? Blowing in to carbon filter or sucking from the carbon filter

Where the hell do you get all those extra roof support I constantly have a problem of not having enough of them and I also had to put wood shims in between where I didn't want them to pull together and throw my equipment through the side of the tent as I have to use the bars of the 10 and I don't have the luxury of having two extra bars to hang down anywhere I want like you do I would love to know where you get them from I have a 5 by 5 gorilla tent and a 4 by 8 Galaxy tent.

does the ducting that comes off the carbon filter then go out of the tent at the top and back in at the bottom as a air inlet im really confused to whever you need a outlet fan and a inlet fan could you help please i dont fully understand.

1:53 LOL Youre so hi to do it baby

[@sn350yt]

how long does it typically take for the carbon filter to gain the 20% extra weight?

[@jonnyc2.047]

sam b typically or car event filter will not came any weight because if you're not taking 10 file or anytime of tape paper or anything to cover have of the top of the can filter its not going to be working properly I buy old filters and put new carpet in them Saddest fucking thing is they get $100 and every single one is hilltop a 80% so what y'all need to know take York and fan said it straight up take the top half that connects to the fan take half of the filter and wrap paper or 10 foil around it what happens is the air goes through the least resistance spot which is the part where there's no carbon so its not even working until you take 10 for low and wrap the top half part where there's no carbon to make the air go through the carving part and block the lease resistant part Call thing about doing this is when the bottom half gets dirty you just switch your tent oil to the bottom half of your filter rewrite it and now you got a whole brand new filter still but you still have to put your sleep over top of it when you wrap it you still use the extra filter sleeve and just slides over the 10 foil

I will wait till the scent starts to leak out then use it cos it seems a waste of electric using it for nothing, Is the c02 you mention gained by opening the tent up to expel bad air or do I nee another piece of gear to suck air in.

away so it pulls the air through the carbon filter, directing airflow to it will defeat the purpose because it's filtering air outside the tent.

[@tiredoflies6247]

So where do i put the muffler....can i even have two mufflers,left and right of the fan with the carbon filter together? thank you

[@warrenpeas]

it is just a fan that sucks in air and pushes it out through a filter. you could have multiple filters and a single fan or multiple fans and a single filter as long as there is not too much air for the filter to be able to handle.

[@jeromesmith48]

I have question about your video, when you installed your fan in the video did you connect the sucksion part of the fan to the duct work to pull air from outside of the tent into the tent?

[@atlantishydroponics]

No, the suction part should pull through the filter and blow into the ducting that exits the tent. This creates vacuum inside the tent allowing us to control the intake air and filter it properly.

[@bensanger1718]

Watch a different video. These are salesmen, or they would have some knowledge of static pressure loss from leaving the ducting folded and taping it so it stays that way.

[@rev9enant335]

When the fan on the carbon filter is activated and the tent is sealed/closed, should the tent walls be sucking inwards?
