Ya that's pretty much what I'm running also in a 4x8, used to catch a whiff in the back yard where I vent out but now it's zero. I don't think my dog smells it and she likes eating leaves!

No filter and yeah, but less than you'd think. It's only a couple plants. Me smoking all the time smells way more, lol

To be clear, it is OK to vent into the attic? Given that it is winter, I don't believe it will get hot enough in the attic for mold/heat to be a problem.
Will removing the light fixture give access to the attic? The attic is above the light, but I'm wondering whether there will be an additional obstacles in the way.

fixtures are usually stud mounted unless its a can light, be sure to turn off your breaker, just a little bit of insulation should be all.

Not sure what kind this is (pic)?
I think I'll take it down later and see what's going on...

it'd be easier to just cut a hole in the sheetrock honestly, that fixture has an electrical box above it that you'd have to remove from the stud and it might make more work than what its worth.

That only works in the winter., With one light. Venting into the room the tents in is very inefficient.

I'm tempted to cut back a portion of carpet, cut a 6 inch hole, and vent to underneath the house. Then, when I move out, put the circular cutout piece of wood back in the whole with wood glue and put the carpet flap back down over it. Seems like that would be easier to disguise and cover up.

coming from someone with carpentry experience, just cut the hole, some insulation will fall down but oh well.. fixing a quick sheetrock patch is easier than trying to get a fixture back up

Venting into the room the tents in doesn't work at all. All your doing is recirculating hot air.. you need to make it leave.

if your tent is in the room it can't be cooler than the ambient temperature of the room, its like saying my cpu cooler cools my cpu to below room temp, Physics and thermodynamics points towards you dont have a slight clue what you are talking about
