Ventilation Exhaust

[disco pilgrim]

I am looking for some advice about exhausting from my tent. My last grow I had odor issues in my house even with a carbon filter. I also tried the Ona gel which masked the odor, but was too strong and not pleasant IMO.

So my current setup is as follows.
4x4 tent
600w mh/hps
6" inline fan 424cfm
6" grow bright carbon filter
Filter>fan>cool tube>exhaust into basement room, same room that the tent intakes from

I'm wanting to have the exhaust vent out of the house. First option would be to use a wye duct ant tie into my dryer exhaust vent. I'm not sure if I would need a backflow damper or not with that option, but that would be the easier fix for me. Option two would be to vent the exhaust out its own vent but I really don't want to cut a hole in the side of my house since my handyman skills are below average. I know option two is the best option, but would option 1 work?

I have people in my house regularly that absolutely can't recognize the odor. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Forgot to mention that I am in the basement and have 2 levels above that. Could I run it up a plumbing vent pipe?

Do you run your fan 24/7?
