Would this cut odor down while keeping C02?

Would using a stand alone carbon scrubber during the light hours and then setting it up to exhaust the air in the dark hours work effectively to kill the odor? My idea is using c02 during the day without vaccing it out by just scrubbing the air, and then at night when the c02 is off i can exhaust the air out.

So at day it would be setup like this- outside>ducting>fan> *light* >ducting>outside, while the filter is only scrubbing and keeping c02 enriched air.
And at night like filter>fan> *light* >fan>ducting>outside.

I have a small area with few plants but I want expert opinions.
Would this keep odor down in flowering?
Thanks all ^^

Yes that would work fine. Although generally the way people set up warehouses is they hang their carbon filter up high. CO2 is heavier than air so it drops to the floor having your filter up high means you exhaust less of it. CO2 is also extremely cheap. If you have your carbon filter setup to exhaust only put it on a cycle timer and run it about 15 minutes at the beginning of every hour. Then for the last two weeks when the smell is more potent you run it 24/7. The last two weeks you don't need to run CO2 so exhausting it won't be an issue.

Could set CO2 and exhaust on timers......so the co2 builds, gets used, exhausted....repeat.

Just a thought.
