If I have a tent in my bedroom and then I open the tent to work on the plants is that odor going to be controlled by a carbon filter or will it leak out into the room? this is a huge concern for me and with no experience I cannot tell if I need a second line of odor control.(My gf isnt very happy please help me calm her down!!!!)

You can double up one line for the tent and another exhaust with smell control for the room. I've personally only done it in the tent, single line... and know at times my whole place was smelling up.

The short answer is yes the smell will escape out of the tent and into your room. There are easy ways to remedy this.
The easiest cheapest and most effective way is to just vent the clean exhaust from your filter into another room or out the window. This will create negative pressure in the entire room so no smell will get out into the other rooms or your neighbors noses. This is what I do and you never smell anything unless you are inside the room.

I've got some chem d in a room. Have a new filter and fan in the room. Air flow come from a separate room, through the lights, and out the ceiling, through a 8 inch corona discharge(1 cell unit) inline duct, then through 25 ft of duct work. the outer room has 2 carbon filters that run 24/7. I've got smell outside the house.
Soon as this run is chopped I've got some updating to do for the odor control.
Point is, sometimes the reek is so bad no matter what you do it's hard to contain.
The smell has a mind of it's own sometimes. Also, living in the house you grow in, you kinda get used to the smell. You don't realize that your clothes and anything else in the room picks up the smell that coworkers and friends will give you funny looks about.
So, if living in the space you grow in, you're gonna have to be vigilant about your odor control.
Just my 2 cent

Yeah if you have super stinky strains you should oversize your scrubbers. Mine has twice the cfm rating as my fan. No problems here. A little ona in your exhaust room never hurts though.
I agree with all or most all of the above posts but would add carbon filters lose effectiveness over time.. I had a few rooms I could smell late in flower outside the house by the exhaust but after buying new filters .. No smell at all, at least for a few runs.
Not that I smell it at all usually but my old lady has a nose like a bloodhound n she starts in with the bitchin... So know I just keep a new spare handy. Ozone generators are helpful to for non lived in spaces..

I scrub the air in the grow room with a good clean carbon filter and by leaving the intake of my light hood open, I suck the air in the room through my light and shoot it outside. That keeps the hot (relatively clean) air in the top of my grow room and the heat from the light pumping outside the house.
