Man i been there sealen doors with weather sealer strips cutten holes in walls for negative air pressure with my carbon filter caulken everything magnetic vent covers ona glad plug ins and ozone, even c02 pucks that help kill smell, And all in a fucken apartment. Now i strickly grow in tents usig only Phresh filters air flows best through them as long as my temps are normal u an be right outside the tent you dont smell shyt nothen dont matter if i got a pound worth of skunk #1. 1 week from harvest no odour high temps means weaker and stinkier buds that will go.through your carbon filter good airflow no hig humidity that it.

Well I closed up the size of my intake last night and was able to create enough negative pressure that a piece of thin cardboard will suck to the intake vent when the door is shut. It really almost killed all the smell but I bought a CAN filter and I am gonna install that later today when the lights come on. I think that should do the trick...I hope so at least.

The Can filter is almost double the length of the HTG growbright filter i have in there now.
Just make sure its rated for the cfm of your fan, but Im sure you already did that

I installed a CAN 2600 carbon filter and for the last two days there is 0 smell in the house. It says that this filter is rated for only like 90cfm (my fan is 170 cfm) but the guy at the grow shop says they can go all the way to 240 cfm. whatever the case this new filter works great.

The Grow Bright 4in filter that I got from HTG only worked for 3 months and as soon as I got to the end of flowering it clearly wasn't enough to cut it. I will never buy one of them again. However the fan works great and has been running constant for 4 months now.

you were right man. I'm less than 3 weeks into flower, but also have 4 autos that are 6.5 weeks old, and the smell is getting strong.

just bought this....FILTER AND FAN Same as yours?

I'm spoiled and get my stuff in 1 day from this place.... I LOVE ALTGARDEN.COM

wow..... are you growing actual skunks? Seriously I'm using the 125$ 4" filter combo from HTG supply and I have to stick my nose in the bud to get the smell. I've done a lot of strains and I've never had problems using the same carbon filter time after time with no hassle but to wash the pre filter every 2 cycles. I do have 2 oscilating fans making sure every single leaf is moving mitigating the smell, but turning them off don't get my house reeking neither. If you're injecting CO2 you room must be perfectly sealed, which means no intake at all and programmed exhausts through filter only.
