Controlling smell efficiently

Hey guys I need some help from the experts. So I have some babies in the chamber flowering but I'm starting have some proplems controlling smell. I currently use cooltube in the following order:
Scrubber (which is inside tent)----------->cooltube------->exhaust-------->outside.
The smell is not in the room that tent is in rather on the outside, Now as far my understanding by having scrubber before the exhaust it would clean the smell before the exhaust released the hot air out but it looks like it ain't working. Should I put scrubber right before the exhaust? Any suggestions guys these ak's are starting get smelly.

no it should start your chain in order for smell to not leak you have to maintain negative pressure inside the tent which is only gonna happen if your pushing enough cfm for the space remember when you have a filter you should double the cfm suck dont blow :D

Hey staple thanks so my current order must be right because I have the scrubber first in line as I explained in the previous post. Now I would assume I have negative pressure just by looking @ it cause the tent martial gets sucked in like when u suck in ure stomach ( sorry funny analogy) but I mean my fan is 240 cfm and my space is 4x4 so im thinking is ok? Should I get a booster cfm or something any suggestions what to do?

one other thing you want to keep in mind im not sure what your tent is made out of but your only as smell proof as that room is if that fabric soaks up odor its gonna leak thru no matter what pressure you got i suppose just a thought :D

Where is the fan on your little graph thing and what size and brand is your filter? Also too much humidity will make a filter useless.

Well my fan is 240 cfm. And my lineup is the following : scrubber first in line then cooltube then the exhaust. I doubt is my tent material I think this strain is just smelly (ak's). The size my filter is pretty big I'm not sure what kind I got I guess I can look it up but I know it's one can ones I purchase off htg store online is pretty big for my small 4x2x4 area. How long do scrubbers last ? Also should my hit air extracted outside smell clean being that scrubber is inside the grow area? Does not smell like it is. Help please.

if the air exhausted outside smells, then i guess your scrubber is not working, or it has holes in duct letting unfiltered air through. could be the carbon is depleted. humidity destroys activated carbon quickly
