Odor Control or Cover???

I have a fairly large grow room, it is 16x20. In the room I have three different growing areas, 2 for flowering and 1 for mothers, clones, and seedlings. I have one diy carbon filter above each area with fans moving about 1100cfm in each section and still I have a severe odor issue. I was thinking of possibly going with a large ionizer or a couple of small ones but my partner suggested that I use some space outside my grow room to grow some very strong smelling vegetables or flowers like onions or herbs. I was wanting to know what everyone thought of this or if anyone has experience with either covering the smell or using ionizers. I currently dont have a grow going due to a security breach because of the smell. So before I begin again I need to address this problem.

Just some extra info. there was a total of 106 plants in the room when it was up and fully running.

I have a constant smell going also so I got the "Big Blue" 8 "Ozone generator and ran 8 in exaust ducting and it blows it right next to my front door. since it blows right next to my door the ozone has a numbing effect on your sense of smell and you cant smell anything. However I have noticed when walking up and about 40 ft from the door I smell the garden for just a second then its gone. I think I need to blow my exaust out the roof. I only have one garden in bloom right now but in a month Ill have all three running at full capacity so I will be running a couple 6inch ducts two stories up to exaust. Good thing the neighbors upstairs are cool with everything and will let me in to work in their attic. I also am thinking of building a aeroponic garden in the front patio with fruits and vegtables, for the smell and my own personal veggys. I have hybrid strawberries that bloom all year and I feed them with all my waste nutrients from my indoor garden. I also planted some of those yellow w/ stiped tomatoes I love(forgot what theyre called) They will be getting some serious nutrients for some tomatoes.

definitely blow that scrubbed air out the roof/chimney...or some kind of outside vent. blast the ozone in the last run of duct out. I have and ozone gen to and it works wonders!!
