yes, it greatly increases the lifespan of the carbon. You didnt get a cloth/fiberglass wrapping for the whole thing? It should be part of the package, so demand one be sent to you.
Carbon Filter Setup Suggestions On My Cabinet Grow!

The Phresh filter just came in the mail after work today, and I'm kind of shocked at how large the outer diameter is! It's freakin heavy too! Amazon did a fine job of not providing the correct dimensions. Are all 6" filters going to be this big? Should I return this and get a different one that is lighter and fits better? I don't even know how I would mount this thing. I'd have to fab a metal cross piece and bolt it on to the cab to handle the weight. Any suggestions are welcome lol. Pictured below next to the ladies for scale.
That's exactly why I advised you to put the filter and fan behind the cabinet.
As far as not getting the prefilter, shoot Amazon an email and they will make it right.

I'm for sure going to put the fan behind, but tomorrow I might try to fab a metal frame of sorts for the top and bolt it on. I'm thinking I'll try and mount the filter inside, above the LED, and duct it out to the fan mounted on the back, sucking the air through the filter. Still a lot to figure out.

Finally got around to setting all this stuff up. Turned out alright I think. Cable management is a must in the near future.

I like it. Plan to SCROG to keep the height down?

I was going to suggest that too... that would maximize your yield in there for sure.

Thanks for the kind words guys! Yes SCROG would definitely be a good idea. They are autoflowers, so they only have roughly 3-4 weeks left. Is it too late to start training them that harshly? I've already been training them a little bit with those small wooden stakes.

You should be fine with autos then... we were concerned about your vertical height

Yes, I don't think they would get tall enough to cause a conflict. But would you recommend SCROG'n them anyways? Going to take some good photos later after work and post a thread in Indoor Soil Cultivation inquiring. Thanks for all your help btw!

not a lot of benefit from scrogging an auto, you dont have room for much of a screen anyway. Autos however are perfect for that cabinet.

I have seen people get greatly improved yield from autos using LST and scrog
