Do we need carbon filters if I am growing in a house?

So here's my question regarding the carbon filters, if I have a fan in the window blowing in the grow room for plants, do I put the filter infront of the fan so it blows towards the plants or should I reverse the fan to blow outside and have the filter before the fan so air doesn't smell. My grow room is rather small.

I don't want to under mind anyone's do it yourself filter, but You should pay the $100 or 2 and get a good carbon filter. Those homemade jobs just use a carbon wrap, (no actual packed carbon). This might last a week or 2. I don't mess around, I have an 8 X 36 inch filter with Australian Mined Carbon, not the cheap Chinese stuff. To me this is a small price to pay for my security.
It doesn't matter how far out you live, you never know who will show up at your door. They smell it, and after they leave they call police, & they become your next visitor.

I walk my dog past a house and I can smell from the sidewalk he is growing it reeks. I feel like knocking on his door to give him the tip. But if he is that stupid to not have a filter he deserves to get caught. So yes get a filter
