Yeah not legal here, doubt it will ever be in any capacity so have to keep it discrete. I spent almost 400 just to scrub the room when I work in it with a 8" setup, 6" in the tent, and another 4" in the room all going all the time. Pretty insane actually and the sound is deafening at times.

I have all ACI gear. They make specific refillable carbon filters in all their sizes and then sell the normal ones. They all have screws so Iām sure I can pry the sucker open if need be and replace it. It likely wonāt be as good as new but better than not working well. They all should be user replaceable IMO and made to be so.
If I didnāt have a kids I donāt think Iād care too much but not giving the state an excuse to be able to take them. Not on their radar and want to stay that way haha.

Yeah, see how there are screws on 4 sides of the cap top and bottom? Iām pretty confident if I take those out I can dump and refill. 70 bucks for that filter at 6" or 120 for the ārefillableā one.
All they did with the refill version is make it easier to access
No screws the cap just twists off.

Oh I see what you mean, Mars sells a universal one for cheaper than a new ACI 6" normal one. I might go that route if I canāt refill the one I have.

In an emergency, Ive stuck my filter in an oven for a couple hours at 200F to dry it out and get the carbon doing its thing again. The good ol prohibition days

@Serf thanks growmie ,they surprised me lol. I thought they were gonna die the way it was goin,Iām super glad they turned around and focused on its flowers. When I was feeding her today and had a bright light focused on it I couldnāt help but notice the glittering,color and size of them so i figured id share because they were some wicked looking colas, i cant wait to smoke it

Welp, my solution for now is to put the big ol 8" setup inside the tent scrubbing the air in the tent 24/7. Should reduce the odors being exhausted into the attic or around the house. My wife is pissed about smelling it so this was a quick fix. Hope the plants like a jet engine blowing around in there.
Big thing in the left side of the tent stickin up almost to the canopy
IR on just for photo. God I hope it works till the grow is over then I can setup everything better.

I also ordered some arm covers because everything is so sticky in there you canāt do anything without coming out covered in residue and smelling like fruit loops. I can only image these smell for miles if outside.

So I canāt sleep, yay, but I think this solved the issue. It was rather immediate.

Probably should have not written it to sound like the filter solved my sleep issue haha. Dang no sleep brain.

The way you wrote it, itās clear that the filter solved the odor issue but causes you to lose sleep because of the noiseā¦ 
At least, thatās the way I read itā¦ 
Then again, Iām still quite foggy from the canna caps I took this weekend..

Haha, I wish i could do edibles/capsules. Iām cool with a high lasting about an hour tops, maybe 2 if itās real stony then itās gone on far to long. But maybe I wouldnāt mind it just too nervous to test the water.

I have 5 clones that have rooted I transplanted them into solo cups yesterday. The one thatās flowering was in one of the holes on the self watering base for a month. The rest have been outside the tent under a small grow light on 24hrs they took around 3 weeks to have enough roots for me to want to transplant them. Im gonna keep them in the tent during lights on and put them in my lung room under the little grow light after lights out.
