You would have to pull a lot of Air through that and even then it wouldn't be effective.

Its always safer to use a Carbon filter as weed does Stink while growing and drying.

Yeah, it'll work if enough of them are cobbled together and the fan has enough ommmmpf to pull air through it all..... Doesn't say how many g's of carbon they contain..... So it'll be trial and error..... And which ones should be replaced when the scent of canna starts wafting about.....?

In other words, I wouldn't bother!

To be effective you need enough carbon "Surface area" to capture the smell molecules. That's why so many sizes and prices for these things, but again the effectiveness still relies on having enough carbon, not to mention the right type too. I would say as others that you wouold need a prohibitively large number. I would hazard a guess that by the time you had enough to take care of the odor you would have spent more than a good scrubber would have cost. Sorry.

I do have to say if you are in a non-friendly state that's the one thing you do not want to be cheap on. Even one on eBay for 60-70$ may save your ass.
