Could you post a pic of how its set up? I think the filter is supposed to be inside the room so it can pick up the smell from the plants and then pass by the fan. Check out this link https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/36899-carbon-filters-efficiency-effectiveness.html
It seems that there is some debate to the best way to set up the system and dependant on if the filter is reverseable or not check you manual, or ask around to see if anyone else is blowing through or sucking through.

Due to the size of the filter that's the only way I can do it. The fan will be pulling all the air out and thru the filter. I will be changing the while set up once I purchase a new filter. I got this one used and smell is not a huge concern till flower. Here is the filter next to a beer for size comparison.

massive though the description below is pretty close, BC stretches like a motherfucker and gets tall as fuck(it may be indica dom. but its definitely got some sat). not very branchy at all as a matter of fact, it can be trained that way, but it likes to an apex and grow there.

Well my limit is about 4ft tall after the stretch. The 4ft is including the pot.

4ft is easy number to reach with bluecheese but you should be fine.

So I'm at day 33 since sprouting. Somehow I got my dates mixed up and their a few days older than I thought. Almost at 5 weeks old, thinking about when I should flip them over to 12/12... February 2nd will be 5 weeks so I'm thinking of switching to 18/6 for a week then flipping to 12/12 february 9th. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again everyone for all the input and great advice!!!

why not flip tonight to 12/12 
they looke and from what your saying, are, plenty big enough to flower and efficiently use the space.

coming up on 5 years, started when in later months of 17th year in life. and thanks for compliment although things aren't so great since the drought i had. but i should still be pulling some awesome nugs down.
as for the darkness thing, ive done more experiments than growing it seems to me sometimes. but ask away ive done quite a bit of the "myths" out there.

foliar is great for veg but i would drop it come flower. i used to do a lot of foliar treatments and its great and works well. but its a pain in the ass to keep up with and plants will act fucked up if you just drop off suddenly, but every once in a while, like once or twice during the flowering stage is good, i just like to mist my plant with plain water the most, does them very well even without all the additives.
