Advanced help needed! Carbon filter

[listmann]

Right, gonna start a new thread with an older question, i really need the help, and want to make sure the guys that can help notice the post, so i wanted to change the title

Hi All I'm a grower from Denmark, i just had my first harvest of 450g good stuff

I've got a small grow tent, 1.2*1.2*2.1 metres, in wich i have a 600W HPS lamp, and i grow hydroponics.

Now, i went and got more exhaust than i needed (A 340m3 Pump with a 300m3 Carbon Activated Filter. And up untill the last three weeks of flowering, the Filter did it's job, but during the ripening process, it didn't quite remove all odours, and i need ALL odours removed.

It should be said that i don't need full power from the exhaust, i got it running on 30-60%

What i want to know is, how does the amount of air goin through a filter affect odour absumption? Would my Filter be more effective if i used it at full power?

So, basically, i wanna know if i can remove all odours by simply buying a bigger filter, say a 400 or 500m3 Filter for my 340m3 Pump engine?
Or do i need to actually buy a smaller filter, to better match my actual airflow, that beeing a 120m3 or 240m3 Filter?

Now, i come to you because Danish growers it seems, doesn't know shit about advanced growing

So i REALLY hope someone can give me a correct answer... I don't need speculations although you are free to make them, I need someone who knows what they're talking about. I live in the Center of Town, and letting out my flow near the main street, so pleeease a lill help.
$ is no object in this regard, i just need ALL odours removed.

Also, how long could i excpect my filters to last? the producer says 1.5-2.5 years, depending on the amount of contamination and the humidity of the air.

Thank you for your Interest

But it's a brand new filter... It's been through one grow only

an inline ozone generator would probably do the trick.

If you want to remove all smells make sure of the following;
1. Make sure you have a good carbon filter. Not home made, Invest in a good one I use Can-Filter
2. Make sure yor room is airtight. Pay attention to air vents in your house. If you grow in the basement, cover the vents in the ceiling.
3. Match your fan power to the correct filter size - you've done this correctly. Dont move to a bigger fan.
4. VERY IMPORTANT - make sure you have negative room pressure. You do this by making sure your exhaust fan is at least twice as powerful as your intake.
5. +rep me, its good karma

A tip for you sir is run that exhaust at 100% forget that 30 -60bs. You want to exhaust that air as quickly as possible, the whole room once a minute if you can.

Also look at a product called ONA GEL - it is a specialized masking agent. $25 lasts 4-6 weeks
