Do you need a carbon filter whilst using an extractor straight up the chimney from a grow room?

cheeses are fairly smelly. if your in a non MMJ state definitely would go with some sort of Oder control. just my paranoid opinion better safe that busted LOL

I'm actually in the UK. What other oder control is there? I have installed rubber seals round the doors of the room with the tent and also the front door. I also have thick black out fabric round the window which has masking tape sealing it.

there are all kinds. ozone generators, ona gel, carbon filters to name a few. have you ever smelled anything outside or is this your first grow? and you said your going out a chimney, how high up is it?

It is my first grow, basically a friend with many years experience is helping me with it. He thinks that the negative pressure is enough that I wont need a filter. I am basically doing my own research as I don't want to get caught lol.
The chimney is high up as I am in a block of flats.

Tis far better to err on the side of caution if you are not 100% legal with your grow. < Ground rule #1

If you don't want to get caught, stop listening to the fool who's telling you that the negative pressure will be sufficient with it exhausting straight up the chimney.
If you lived in lonely town UK where you were the only house around for a while then sure blow it through the chimney.
In a block of flats, BIG FUCKING NO NO without odour control.

Actually I disagree a bit. In a block full of flats people may smell something but they won't be able to figure out exactly where it is coming from, especially that high up. Now I live in a house in a neighborhood, my neighbors are not too close but if I exhausted up my chimney without filtering people would know exactly where it is coming from. Sometimes large population areas provide you with more stealth and anonymity simply because there are so many people and your just another face in the crowd.
Just my humble opinion. As I said in a previous post, I would still filter even if it is with just a cheapo DYI carbon filter.

Thank you all for the replies! General consensus is to go with a filter which I kinda thought would be the case. Thanks again for the great replies.

I don't know anything about UK grow shops or good UK prices, I live in Colorado,US.
I wouldn't trust a DIY carbon filter with a strain that's known for smelling like a hobo's unwashed ass.
I've never used anything but Can-Filter brand carbon filters and never have had any odor issue.

Thank you TreeOfLiberty
Don't know the laws in the UK but in the states that'll lead the flat/complex owner to searching everyones rooms.
