Scrubber/passive vents tent question

I have a 4 x 4 tent and am about to go into flower for the first time ever. I operate now with 2 of the 3 passive vent flaps open. Temps have been absolutely perfect throughout veg. My concern is that when the flowers start to stink that although I have a scrubber inside the tent, as well as massive negative pressure. I put a small piece of paper on the outside of one of the vents and it slammed up against the vent sucking in...plenty of neg pressure. Despite the massive neg pressure, will the stank STILL make it out of the 2 passive vents that are wide open? The tent is in a 12 x 12 room with the door closed as well. I dont care if it stinks a little in the 12 x 12 room but don't want it to smell outside of the closed door. Am I good? PS dont want to seal the other 2 passive vents because temp control begins to become an issue. Thx.

it should be ok, what make and size is ur filter? and if it does start to smell u could always invest in a ozone generator.

Not sure on the brand..not at home. Wanna get a jump on the problem b4 hand if its gonna be one. My logic tells me that with the level of suck I see at the passive vents, I'm gonna be ok. But I have an oscillating fan in the tent which I'm sure will throw the smell around a bit, possibly out of the passives. Stink is a no no at my house.

anyone else have experienced opinion on this? Thx.

If you have massive negative pressure you will be ok just vent the exhaust to your basement or actic . Good old fashion fabrezze plugins through the house also help with any small amounts of smell leakage . You could also seal the room up with panda wrap and put a zipper that helps out a Ton . I have 2 sealed zipper doors before you enter my flower room .

interesting ..how do you set those up? The venting of the scrubbed air goes outside.

You place panda wrap over the doorway staple (heavy staple not office staples ) it down , then duct tape over the staples , duct tape up all the panda wrap to the wall. Then buy a stick on zipper usually around 10 bucks at home depot . Stick the zipper to the panda wrap unzip it then use a razor blade to cut the entrance.

that is freakin awesome man! Thx...Gonna do at least one door way b4 I flower. Stick the zipper on the panda wrap before cutting the entrance...genius man!

lol smell will still escape as its in the air and can also be absorbed, high negative pressure with tripple activated carbon filters or ozone generator is the safest way to go.
