The rest were miscellaneous things I picked up at home depot. The links above are the main parts.
Just make sure you have the same size (4 or 6 inch) filter and tubing. I have that fan with this and this and its super simple, everything fits together
This is what I have. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005KMETHS?psc=1 It's got great reviews (add another for myself), and is $10 or so cheaper than other 4" filters. I believe it's also got easy to access rivets, so when it comes time to change the carbon, you can drill them out easy, and replace them with some sheet metal screws, and you're good to go.
Filter is a VenTech 4" x 12" 210 CFM Carbon Charcoal Ordor Control Filter
from amazon
(http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005KMETHS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1396111968&sr=8-1) ...fan is a repurposed PC fan from and old Dell desktop. So far the filter seems to be working great, no odor detectable outside of the closet.
I'm using a carbon filter like this one and it seems to be working well so far. My garage still smells faintly of fresh herb though. It smells delicious but you can definitely still smell it.
If it becomes more of a concern I will switch to a better brand filter, I've heard "Phresh Filters" are the best out there, but they are quite a bit more expensive than the cheapo one I'm using. If it's critical that you mask all of the smell, then I would recommend investing in a Phresh Filter.
>Can you explain your buckets air flow and air filtration?
My bucket has two passive 120mm intakes that are covered with mesh filters and a single 120mm exhaust in the lid that connects to a 4" flange with dryer ducting. There is a 4" 190 CFM In-Line fan connected to a 4x12 Carbon Filter. I also have a variable fan controller on the in-line fan. I run mine at about half power.
>What do you have your plant in? Planter and soil on the bottom of bucket ect?
I use a 5g nursery pot. For my next grow I will be switching to a smart pot to avoid it getting rootbound.
>I was thinking of extending a 5g bucket under the brute can so the soil is under the setup and the plant itself is in the brute only allowing more space to grow.
If you're gonna do that you're better off getting one of those 5g DWC setups. With that said, I'd advise against doing that. Reason being is you add another layer of complexity in that you have to figure out how to support the brute and you run risks with light leaks. This also puts the brute much higher than you are which can make servicing/watering awkward.
I just have mine sitting on the bottom of the bucket in the pot. The newer style Brutes cause you to lose a few inches but if you can budget to buy two of them and use one as a spacer, it works well.
>Would that work or would I have an issue with temperature difference between roots and plant?
I am not experienced enough to say yay or nay but I doubt it?
