Google says that filter only has 1.2 kg of activated carbon in it. If that’s the model you’re using, you‘re using too small of a filter.

I've read with too much airflow/fan speed the smell doesn't get scrubbed out properly.

Carbon filter optimal airflow 240 m3/h
My fan 197 m3/h

Maybe the manufacturer is exaggerating the effectiveness of their product? Not like that would be a new thing in grow gear? What was your primary factor in choosing your carbon filter? If price (and be honest, did you look up any reviews?) then theres your answer. The other thing orher than too high airflow would be high humidity and of course really dank weed inside, but thats just a luxury problem

Filters are rated @ single pass thru. This means that your filter @ 240 cfm is not enough for your 197 cfm fan. You need double the filter cfm compared to your fan cfm in order to work well and block odor.

A 400 cfm filter will work fine for you with that fan. Or get a 120 cfm fan
