I have three phresh 6x24 Carbon filters (2 kinda older but not out of spec and 1 brand new) scrubbing a 10x12 grow room with 4 plants. My whole fucking house reeks and it reeks around my house out to the damned sidewalk. Anyone else have this problem? Any other ideas about odor reduction?

Ozone for total smell removal.

Humidity kills them. Is that an issue?

How old are the others?

Is your room sealed or does it have significant negative pressure?

If it were me I would use all new filters and replace them every year or 2 at the most. You can DIY replace the carbon too.

Use ozone on outtake not into the dwelling.

I've had great success with Rhino carbon filters. If the humidity is too high they don't work as well though.

sounds like its time to replace the old ones . how old are they ?
i had pretty good luck with phresh filters , but my shop carries Can filters now , so i use them . i have a can 100 & a canlite 8 x 24 scrubbing my 10 x 10 room .

None of the filters are over a year old. Room is mostly sealed. I do have an ac unit that kicks on at night to drop temps here towards the end of 12/12 but that's only at night. Ozone sounds like a good bet.

My humidity has been a bit on the high side for 12/12. Sometimes around 65% but I'm using a very strong light and co2 and tons of air circulation. With VPD it's acceptable humidity. No mold at all.

I always buy Can filters, I use them for well over a year and a half and they still keep odor in check. Usually when I throw them out they still work just fine, I throw them out before I have problems. Never once has can let me down.

Does ozone generator have any negative effect on plants?

Yes, they have...even on human...in high concentrations, ozone is harmful, I use it in the outcoming.

If you're going to use ozone, take your precautions.
