budahbwoy Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 easy all, you may remember a DIY vapouriser thread i posted a while back, which was taken from soft secrets....yet again, that fantastic magazine ran another DIY project which i am sure will benefit all growers out there, as the title suggests, its a DIY carbon filter thingy. as i have taken the pics from the magazine, i would like to make it ABUNDENTLY clear that i am NOT passing this off as my own work, as the original article was produced by BUNZ...i for one, do not have the brain capacity to think of such ingenious gadgets.....christ, i forget how to.............sometimes. so.....as me da would say, 'lets get down to the nitty gritty'....you will need 1 - Either a PC fan, or a normal rotating/oscillating fan 2 - Air freshner like febreeze, or ona, or whatever wilkos has got on offer 3 - hydrogel/polymer crystals. 4 - 10/20 litre bucket with fitting lid. okely dokely, first up, you will need to cut a hole in the lid large enough to fit your fan, and secure it properly to the bucket. check the pic below o see how its mounted. now, you need to cut/drill large holes all the way around the bucket, about 2 inch below the lid. now, take 9 cups of council pop (water) and add 1 cup of febreeze (or whatever) and add half a cup of the polymer crystals, mix it, no bob marley it (stir it up)...and voila!....if you switch it on, within 5 minutes, your room should smell like nicer than a tarts hankercheif! this unit can be used stand alone, or mount your air outake to the lid, and save buying PC fan. i havent yet trialled this yet, but i hope to soon. the only real maintenance needed is topping up the water and crystals every now and then, generally every 4 weeks. anyways, just doin my bit to put back what i have taken from 420....christ, i am even seriously considering a tattoo of 420.....or a leaf.....one of the 2 to go with the many others i have.....'HEIL BOO-DAH!' this pic shows all the eqipment, bucket, crystals, fan, and air fresh. respect.
