Filter moved due to room and now doesnt work???

Ok my plants got to tall i had to move the filter from above the light to beside the plants for more height. Now the smell outside the exhaust hose is OUTRAGEOUS would moving it really make that big of a difference or what?? thanks!

ive never had this as a problem before. is it possible there are more bends in your ducts and less are is able to pull through?

it is actually even better flow i think they way it is now. It smells like i dont even have a filter.

Your fan is drawing air through the filter way to fast probably since you improved the airflow. Get a fan controller and slow the fan down.
