It's too bad we couldn't be neighbors and let our neighbors be neighbors. The street would be extra stinky lol.
Weed smell, is it legal?

The room isn't the main problem it's the rest of the garage where I trim, dry, cure. The smell leaks out and you can smell it when you pass by it. I would need another exhaust system, plus an air tight seal for the entire garage but that's a lot of investment for 4 plants.
This isn't like Leamington, Ontario where you can smell weed kilometers away. It's a faint smell that my neighbor has picked up on and he is OCD about it.

The school rule makes me laugh. If a kid trespasses on your property and steals your plants, it's your fault for not having a fence.

I wonder if the room has negative or positive pressure. They shouldn't smell it one house over if you have a small grow and a filter. Maybe your filter isn't totally full, and air is just taking the path of least resistance.
Or are you running a filter with full speed cooling air for a hood? Sometimes you just need to slow down the filter-fan, and cool the hood with air that's from OUTSIDE the room.

As much as id like to say fuck him, you're not breakin the law, is it worth it? If the room isnt the problem and hes complaining about where you trim and dry, im assuming you dont mind the smell, can you dry your weed somewhere else in your house? Im not sayin throw your plants out, im just saying maybe save yourself the bullshit.

Get a 4x8 tent for the garage, dry and trim inside of it. Exhaust it out the roof. Most the smell should stay above the houses.

There is nothing illegal at all and your neighbor really has no options, you can't get in trouble. That said, he is your neighbor ... you have to live next to him and in my experience having pissed off shitty neighbors never ends well (my sister's asshole neighbor was so bad that it drove her to selling her home and moving out).
Maybe show him that you are trying, that you've invested money in filters (with pictures I guess). He sounds like he has uh other problems and you are probably just getting caught up in his shitty life, but if you at least show him that you're trying; if he is a reasonable human being perhaps that will help help him understand and mend relations.
Also I don't see how small claims court would get him anywhere because he would have to prove that the smell was coming from your house and how is he going to do that? Perhaps it's coming from his other neighbours house, or the one across the street, or maybe he has a family of skunks living under his porch? Also you have to prove damages and an annoying smell isn't a damage as far as I can tell.

I wouldn't of told my neighbor. When he noticed the smell, I would've just blamed the other neighbor. Lol

The filter is only on 12hrs a day because I don't want to pump warm air out of the garage when they are off. My ekectric bill would be insane.

Put it on a timer, it'll help keep the smells, and the power bill down.

I would try to filter the air better, and pump it into my attic or garage for heat during lights on. or run a cheap 4" carbon filter 24/7.
All that heat is good in winter. You definitely don't want to put the whole house under a vacuum, that will effect your heating bill quite a bit. There should be a good amount of Co2 in winter anyway.
Having a house under vacuum completely negates insulation. Around here, people unwittingly do it with radon fans.
In summer, intake and exhaust from outside is best on the electric bill.

When I went to the local supply they were out of carbon filters. There was this in stock and so far no problem and I smoke. I don't even vent external here. Sounds like your place might be larger being a garage. Try it on timer when fan is on every other hour.
