3x3 tent odor control issue

I have a cooltube linked to 2 months old carbon filter and extractor blowing 24/7 (there's no other air extraction).
I keep 2 extra smelly ladies in 5 week flowering.
The carbon filter gets rid of 90% of the smell, but still I can smell fresh mj in the apartment.

Any ideas? Honestly I was hoping that the carbon filter would get rid of the smell completely..

Ona gel

^^^ or ozone generator

Don't grow in an apartment

It depends on the aprtment complex. Mine is an open apartment complex. which means you dont walk in a building to get to your place. Not only that everybody has their own AC unit so they have their own ventilation system. As long as i keep the smell in my place nobody would know.

Ona gel in the living room.

Yeah, it's not a legal issue where I live.
I just dont want everybody to know immediately, that I grow.

Thanks for the tips guys. So my carbon filter is ok? this is normal?

Mine doesn't get rid of the smell 100% either. I think I need to dial down the extractor fan a little being as I put new carbon in the filter a week ago. My partner is getting nervous.

exactly same issue here mate )))

What brand filter is it?

I have no idea what brand mine is. I bought it used. It worked really well till I got this new strain in my room. So stinky. I thought it was the filter going bad, so I pulled it apart and put new carbon in it. It's a little better, but I can still catch a whif once and awhile. Actually quite often.

I've never tried to make my own carbon filter before. I have always thought that I couldn't get the carbon to pack tightly enough to capture the odors. I use Phresh filters and only run it on a 12/12. I only notice smells seeping out when the lights/fan are off. Make sure that you aren't pulling too much air through your filter too fast. ie. slow your fan down.

I use ozone and ona gel to knock out the residual smells.

Good luck

Yeah. I think I said I needed to do that. Probably the other guy also.
