additional odor controll, will this work with co2

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone has done this before. I've had the same grow going for over a year now and I feel I have it pretty much dialed at this point. I am running 1500ppm suplimental co2 in my grow room. I have managed to get my exhausts down to 3 times a day thanks to the use of a dehumidifier and closed circuit air cooled lights. The thing is tho as my exhaust periods have decreased I've found that more odor seems to be escaping, as my only odor defense is a carbon filter in conjunction with my exhaust fan I figured its due to to air being cleaned less often. I was thinking about running a 4" centrif fan with carbon filter hangin from centre of my ceiling (this will run 24/7). I wouldn't have any ducting on the filter or fan as really I just want to clean the skunky smelling air in my growroom before it has a chance to escape. I also think this would help with air circulation. My query is ..... And this might sound stupid buttt...... Will the carbon filter depleat the co2 level in the room. Are odors bigger than co2? I'd imagine they're millions of times bigger but will a carbon filter allow 1500ppm air to flow through it without depletion? And if not does anyone have any ideas? Apart from sealing the room as I have it as air tight as its ever gonna get with the materials I have to hand. Maybe the same idea with a o3 gen? Thanks in advance for any answers you guys post. Cheeeeeeers dudes !

it will not affect the co2 because it is staying in room. are you running ac? if so then seal the room and forgo the exhaust. also, 1500 really is too high, drop it to 1100and you see better response from plants while saving a lot

I always run a carbon scrubber 24/7 in my sealed room with co2 .. The scrubber will scrub stale air and it will not effect your co2.

Smashing info guys thanks. I'm not running ac mate. I worked my way up from 1000 ppm harvest by harvest comparing yield until no change in yield was evident (1480 ppm) that was 4 harvests ago and I'm flying. Do both you guys run co2 aswell? I'm thinking about changing my feeding schedule up abit. Co2 enriched plants take up a whole lot more nutes. I've changed evertything else since introducin co2. Room temp 27c leaf temp 29c rh 50% 93wpsf. What feeding sched do you guys follow?

Odor controll is a mega thing for me. That and fan noise are the 2 things I'm constantly looking to improve. Can't be too cautious.
