Need advice on odour control

Browsing this site i have heard many conflicting opinions on carbon scrubbers currently i have a single rubbermaid tub as it all my space can afford and stealth is my absolute top concern. From what i have read some people say a scrubber can completely eliminate smell however on a thread i just read people were saying that homemade scrubbers were worthless for flowering.
Basically i have a scrubber that i built myself with parts from lowes about a foot high and 6 inches in diamater with a 80 mm 100~cfm computer fan blowing the air into it. Is there any chance that this will completly cover the smell of the plants i have currently growing or is my only hope to buy a premade one off the internet.
I was planning on doing a scrog however if that would be too much smell i could attempt to just grow a single small plant just so long as i get somthing lol just don't want to spend hours working on this over the next month or so just to find out the smell is so bad i have to get rid of it.

and sorry i don't have strain information the plants i am currently growing are mostly some bag seeds from a few ounces of mids i bought a few weeks ago and a few others that i have randomly picked up over a month or so none from very good weed.

ty in advance for any advice that can be given on my problem

ps the box is around 3 ft by 2 ft by 20 inches i know its not big but its all i can manage at this moment
heres a pic of the box size with the filter on top from a few months ago from a grow that went bad before i could reach flowering

try this https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/89078-diy-carbon-filter.html

I'm on 7 or 8 mounts (changed 1 time)

I use it for this and no smell. One of my best friends is blind and he can't smell the grow until I open the door.

A 100 cfm comp. fan is not enough for a 1 foot 6 inch diameter filter and depending how far from your canopy your fan is it probably wouldn't be enough those computer fans aren't strong enough especially when u add a scrubber I would get at least a 275 cfm fan if you want to make sure there is no smell plus it will help more with Temps humidity etc you can never go wrong with more cfm's!!

A computer type fan will NOT cut it. They have no capacity to deal with air flow restriction. None.
