Ideas for killing smell

So I grow in a shed and have an inspection next week. I use carbon filters that blow the air underneath the shed and that ona gel stuff underneath the shed aswell but it's day 42 and shit is stinking and needs a couple more weeks. It's not smelly from a few feet away but up close you would be thinking wtf is that. I'm afraid they would do a walk around, maybe I'm over thinking or whatever but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Is there anything I could use that's not grow related that could kill the smell for a few hours. Maybe some shit for pets or something? Or would I be better to cut down and dry now? Anybody have any experience

Creosote the fence the shed everything and go over the top with it as well it should hide it for a bit do it the day afore your inspection

That's a great idea cuz it needs it actually, win win. Would it affect the flavour of the weed do you think? So you think it would still be stinking of creosote the next day? Maybe I could go over a bit an hour on the morning of the inspection

It lasts a while and long as yer sheds insulated n sealed off ok the weed should be fine bud you defo smell creosote for few days at very least so ideal u could do it same day for extra effect of course

Increase the size of your charcoal filters. Will slow down the rate of air passing thru the filter and reduce smell better. You could upgrade exhaust fan to the next size up and upgrade filter for a double whammy.

Ozone generator in your exhaust duct

I'll look into that ozone thing. The filter I have is fairly new and oversized already. I always get a smell in the last couple of weeks

It's just a yearly thing but actually only every 2 years. It's my first inspection. It's like a government housing. From what I hear they only come to make sure you are not sub letting and check fire regulations like alarms n shit

ona gel will bind to your buds and will be tasted in the final product also its carcinogenic soo you are gonna probably kill yourself in a few grows if you continue using it

i would recommend maybe vinegar.since i started making kombucha in the room it is, thats the only smell you can smell
allsoo hay or cat litter balls anything that is for pets poop or urin is designed to eat smell

Shit I didn't know that. I only use it outside where the air blows out. Vinegar is also a fantastic idea.

Oh, never heard of them or could find any to look at. Only thing I can think of is negative air pressure should do the trick but it likely already is. I dont smell anything with like 12oz all the way to chop.

I also use one for a harvest tent that blows out the filter instead of the other way. No smells.

I was actually thinking of hiring a van and stuffing everything in it but again it's in a shed they're not Gunna ask to look in a shed and if they do I'll say I can't find the keys. I've learned to keep them small that's for sure .

I would do something that looks like typical yard work but has a lot of smell. Something like mulch with fresh cedar and then spray the whole area with some cedar spray used for chests and closets right before they show up.

If shit gets dicey, remember this inspection is based on their housing policies. Policies don't supersede law. If they get pushy about the shed and you're in an area where you could catch a criminal charge, boot them and tell them to get a warrant. That should give you enough time to move the items in question.
Ya, it may make things with the housing authority difficult, but I would rather argue about housing policy than fight expensive criminal charges.

Thanks man that's very good advice, you're right they're not here to look for weed or whatever they're not cops they're just regular Joe's checking the house is safe. Also definitely will start an argument if it gets pushy and tell them to get out how dare you accuse me blah blah.
