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.
