How to kill the odor? If i have 3 600w lights over 15 plants how much do you think i could get? And ive done some research on fans and stuff but how would i set up a filter?

By a nice fat carbon filter for a 6 inch vent maybe bigger and make sure your fan can pull the air through it

so hang a big carbon filter in the room connected to a strong fan and blow the air out of the room right?

Carbon filters work by trapping airborne particles in the pores of the activated carbon inside the carbon filter. You need to draw air through the outside of the filter (passes through the carbon) and then out through the internal exahust of the filter itself. If you can vent outside, do so, as it creates negative pressure in the room which can be used to pull in fresh air from elsewhere. You have to make sure your fan has enough power to draw correctly without too much of a static load as well. Open to debate I suppose(for some) but most would agree it's best to pull clean air out of a carbon filter, than push dirty air through it. Why? Because air that hits the fan blades that has been 'scrubbed' already has less particulants to stick to the fans blades, possibly slowing it down or throwing it off balance. If you PUSH the air through, the air is still 'dirty' and likely to contain a higher amount of particulants. Common sense, really.

Good luck! :)

No money limit. Then shit. This is a no brainer. Make a small chiminey out of 3" PVC and cut holes in you floors/walls/ceilings to expell the air outside from your roof.

a big ass carbon filter with a good fan would work fine

How do you figure being caught by the cops?
They dont hang out on my roof scoping out my pipes.
If its heat signature you are worried about, if you have a toilet, you have an open pipe on your roof releasing warm house air all the time.
