Just trying to help dull the smell down outside the tent and keep airflow good inside the tent. Didn't know whether to buy an extra inline fan and carbon filter to help with this or what you guys do. Never had a grow tent before so just trying to cover all my bases

I use 2 filters on one exhaust fan.
1on the inlet inside the tent, 1 on the end of exhaust that vents in another section of the house. Been doing it 2+ years. No issue, no smell.

One filter isn't enough to catch all the smell.

The smallest filter I found that actually works is the can 66. I wish these small filters worked because hanging a 40lb filter isn't fun. I've tried acinfinity regular and xl as well as vivosun.

No

1 is plenty at right cfm for air exchange. You can add a second one 2 the room around the tent, just filter directly connected to fan standing in the room for extra smell control if you like tho

Are you filtering the incoming air? If so, what good is that?

One on the exhaust fan intake in the tent...

And another on the outlet of the exhaust ducting.

Make more sense now?
That way the air is double scrubbed. If you look deep enough into any filterbrand manufacturer's information they tell you a single scrub will NOT clear out all of the odor.
