Growing in my Bathroom no stink until today... +rep

I have been doing this grow in a spare bathroom that only I have access to. Its locked up and my room mate never comes into my room. Everything has been going pretty great. He is none the wiser and he moves out in just over a month. I dont have a box its just on a rack above my toilet with a couple fans blowing across my CFLs. I have been concerned that there wasnt really any smell but the last couple days I have noticed that outside the bathroom, in my room, I can get a faint aroma. Well tonight I came home and my entire apartment had the skunk smell. Lights had only been on for an hour and the smell wasnt there before I left, which was only about an hour.

So what I want to know is what should I do? with the AC on I dont really need to exhaust the heat from the room. but could I get a can of ONA or should I just tape a square of carbon filter over the bathroom exhaust fan? I was thinking that would be the best bet. but the thing barely sucks out as it is.

edit ;/ this bathroom also has an ac duct so I dont know if that would also need a carbon filter on it.

The central AC is what's sucking the smell throughout the place. If you can't create a vacuum, you'll just have to try to cover the smell with something like Ozium.

definitely a carbon filter. you can make a homemade one for about $15 at walmart.
i think im gonna go buy a sheet of carbon from the hardware store and tape it over my AC and exhaust. I think this will cut it out. its pretty much turning them both into a scrubber. Then I think I will go get a small canister of ONA. I only have three weeks to go so its ok that its dirty.
