An easy one ? Don't they ask for ID to buy carbon now ? You go asking for carbon and you are definitely going raise some eyebrows..........

they sell it at aquarium stores for your aquarium. They didn't ask for my id and i look shady as hell. Maybe laws are different other places but I can't see them id'ing you to buy some activated carbon at petco.

I once bought Activated Carbon from petco.com, In the mail I got Dog Shampoo instead. I said WTF I do not have a dog why would I get this. 5 months later I got a puppy.

Well you guys have really made me all freaked out, talking about prison time and court cases. Here's a little insight of my ventilation, i have 2 4" Diameter in-line fans, one pulling in fresh air and one sucking out, and there on timers, so when they kick on is when it starts to smell. So i went home for lunch today and didn't smell anything except my plug-in air fresheners, which made me feel a little better. So i don't know, I'm gonna probable just get the ONA Block to see how well it works and try and make the carbon filter that woldofweedcraft linked up.
I wasnt trying to dis you whulkamania, just saying im not buying shit from anybody on this site.

If you can find the mesh cups for that filter at walmart, they fit perfectly into a 4" duct.

The ONA works suprisingly well, it just dries out quickly. If you can't afford a carbon filter then do everything else you can to cover the smell. I used the ona liquid in a 5 gallon bucket with moisture crystals and a fan on top with holes punched on the sides. It's more effective then a jar of ona gel.

I'd suggest having both sucking out, and use a carbon filter on the exhaust. With both sucking you will have negative pressure in your grow cabinet, and the smell won't leak out.

You should be freaked out about it. You've got a very serious issue that is compounded by the fact that those kids know the smell of dank bud.
You need to take a 'sick day' and resolve the problem immediately. Build a carbon filter - its cheap and easy. Good vids on youtube.
In the meantime, dont answer the door for ANYONE and tell your GF not to either. BTW, if the cops come knocking and you answer, they WILL claim they smell it. You've just given them probable cause for a search warrant.
You've got a nice little crop there... I wouldn't scrap it just yet. I highly recommend you add ducting through your wall or ceiling and exhaust outside ASAP. Pull all your exhaust air through the carbon filter and utimately vent it outside the house. As someone else mentioned, maintaining negative pressure in your grow room is critical. Everything you need can be had at your local home depot, or whatever. You can also save your cutouts to patch the holes with some joint mud when you're done. Its simple, its worth it, and you will sleep a lot better.
I run a couple big DIY carbon filters in my grow... One takes care of general room exahust and vents out into my backyard through what would appear to be a simple dryer vent. The other one pulls stinky air from my flowering sub-room through the filter, then through a 1000w hps light, and into an adjacent utility room where it ties into my HVAC exhaust ducting, through which it exits my roof.
I use this and a combination of other air fresheners, pucks, and sh!t. I sleep pretty good.
Good luck!

Thanks to all for the input on all the good ideas, I've only got like 4 weeks left and after that I'm fucking done, I cant stand this paranoia, its not worth the stress.... I'll probable start another grow sometime down the road, but I'm gonna have shit totally smell proof before i even start.
Cheers to all and happy growing.
