Controlling Odor in a Large Grow Room....

Hi

'Friend" has a pretty decent setup in an 18' x 12' Sealed flowering room. Perpetual so only 1/3 of the room ever at peak potency at one time. Have a 4ft x12" MountainAir carbon filter and a 1050cfm 12" fan running 24/7 in this sealed grow room. However the smell still seems to be getting out.

What is the next step to ensure no smell? Buy another filter and fan?If so, how big? Or invest in ONA gel and fan? I've never used ONA and see they have the gel/fan setups, but read multiple places not to run them in the grow room itself.

Thoughts appreciated

Thanks

Keep plants happy and healthy and they won't stink. Unless they get too hot or you brush against them little smell is released. Rupturing the waxy coating on the trichomes let's the volatile terps release, especially with excess heat. Keep em stress free and all is good

I don't run any carbon filters or any sort of odor protection.

The cured buds stink to high heaven, this is how its supposed to be

the guy at the hydro store is probably right. If your filter is good u should not have a smell problem. Id say there is nearly a 100% chance u have an air leak or u enter/leave your room too often.

But even if I have a leak, shouldnt the smell not be there as all the air in the room is being filtered?

Man, Ive seen you post some on point advice in other threads but this is so wrong it is staggering. Some strains smell less than others but they all put out some odor,especially healthy ones. Even if what you said is true, it would still be worth being mindful of the odor (by scrubbing/filtering) because no one can get through an entire grow without touching their plants.

Been true for me, for many years.. pull a QP per week, those aren't low odor strains.. I'm not used to it, neither is the company I often have come over.
