I've got 3 vents on my 4x4 tent and I am using x2 - 10 inch fans and I've got a 6 inch rhino fan and 6 inch mountain air carbon filter. I want to get another fan in there but I've ran out of plug sockets and space on the floor. I'm thinking I could get another extension lead and plug another fan into where I have my irrigation setup and while I'm not using the irrigation I could plug a extra fan in possibly

I have no idea what juicy fruit is dude, is that a strain?
Yes bud it's a strain aka fruity juice.

These might be worth a shot https://sensiseeds.com/en/cannabis-seeds/sensi-seeds/fruity-juice
Yeah mate I'm venting into the room the tent is in. I've got some 10 meter ducting and it reaches my door
I seen sensi had them I was waiting to see of anyone recommend them, my faith in sensi had fallen in recent years but I wouldn't write them off, they've teamed up with hsc that might be a good thing idk?

I'm not sure to be fair, I know sensi seeds used to have a good rep but I haven't grown out any of there strains for years
And yeah mate I'm venting into the tent room, I've got some 10 meter ducting and it just about reaches my bedroom door.
If I was you I would go for some in house gear https://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/in-house-genetics/cat_238
I was thinking about becoming a breeder myself and crossing some really expensive strains together and testing them out and stablizing them And then selling them for cheaper

I remember the old one from them it was good bud as for what it's like now idk was the Highland Thai side the taste came from I think it had northern lights in it to shorten flower maybe a touch of skunk who knows there's might be decent it might be crap I know Angus at rsc still has the Highland Thai available that you will probably find those kinds of fruity phenos in but it will be way longer flowering and taller Vs the hybrid

My 6 inch mountain air carbon filter and my 6 inch thermostatically controlled rhino fan setup. I heard these fans are getting much harder to get a hold of now since they came out with a new model that looks awful. My gorilla grow tent came with some nice straps so I don't need to use rope ratchets anymore. I plan on starting a new 5x5 setup soon. I was thinking about growing Seed junky genetics Permanent marker.

Fair doos bud I prefer rooms over tents then you can hard fix the vents rather than have to use plastic or Flexi stuff more often than required all my stuff was repurposed from building sites and the like lolMy 6 inch mountain air carbon filter and my 6 inch thermostatically controlled rhino fan setup.

There's 8 bluetit chick's and it looks like they don't have too long until they'll be leaving the nest.
It would've been a good year for auto's planted outside the weather has been great this far.

I'm nearly 8 weeks into flower and my 6 inch mountain air carbon filter is struggling to keep up with the smell and smell is leaking out of the tent, is there anything I can do to fix it at this point? It was working good for the whole of the grow but it's really struggling to scrub the smell now. Could I put a carbon filter on the other end of the ducting to try and prevent the smell from exhausting out? I'm going to have to chop early if I can't stop the smell from leaking out. I'm worried the neighbours are going to catch a smell of it and call the feds on me. I've got all of my windows closed but the problem is it's like 26c in the tent with the lights off and the windows closed. I hate to think what the temps are going to be when the lights come on. I can't use my portable AC unit with the windows closed either.

I use a rhino pro 5" as a portable scrubber to catch stray smell when I'm cloning or harvesting.
I'd expect a 2nd filter to help a lot but it might require some additional costs to get it running properly these projects can eat money, fwiw I seen a 6" rhino pro £107 ebay they use rc412 carbon apparently carbon doesn't get better?

Does it vent in the room or out the house?
You could add an inline filter or a separate fan and filter to scrub the room.
An inline would be better if the airs going out the house but at the same time the extra filter is going to reduce your extraction rate and it doesn't sound like you can afford that to happen given the temps..
Another option would be to go with an 8" filter instead of the 6"..
How's the tent set up?

The problem with that is I don't think it will scrub the air before it leaves the window if I have my window open. These plants are smelling like straight up skunk. Super stinky and even if I spent two or three hundred quid on more fans and filters to scrub the air in the room I believe smell would still escape with the windows open? And yeah rc412 carbon is the best you can get. My Mountain air carbon filter has it I believe

Do you think using a separate fan and filter to scrub the room will prevent smell from leaking out the window? Because I don't believe it will catch the smell in time.
If I can get the smell under control I can use my 13,000 BTU portable air conditioner.
The problem for me is affording a 8 inch filter. I spent over £300 on this 6 inch filter setup I have right now and I don't have much money.
The tent setup is good, it's just the fact that they are so stinky. it's the most stinkiest weed I have ever smelled in my life.

I think my only option is to keep the windows closed and turn the light down to prevent it from getting too hot inside the tent?
Either that or adding a rhino hobby carbon filter to the end of the ducting and hoping that it stops the smell from escaping?
Edit: it only seems to leak out smell when the lights are off. It doesn't leak smell as much when the lights are on

My carbon filter only does 580m3/hour
whereas my carbon filter fan (rhino fan) does 760m3/hour
Maybe I've got my fan too high and it can't scrub the smell in time?
But what's weird is the smell isn't leaking out right now. It's only when the lights are off or sometimes it randomly does it when the lights are on, but it stinks more when the lights are off.
