Suggestions on air filtration

I need a bit of advice from you most learned men.
My room is 18 by 12 with 20 bushes that are going to be putting off some hazzy odor soon. I studied charcoal all day and I see nothing that answers my question. I'll put it simple what the heck do I need so I don't need to freak on stink?

I have rooms with about 5000 cubic feet volume and a pretty large biomass during flower. I have to use two scrubbers in the room, each is comprised of a 12x48 Phat filter with a VTX-1200 Vortex blower. With just one filter running the odor will win, with two it keeps up.

Vortex rule mine are on year five, in hindsight no clue why I bought the fan controllers

I have some VTX-1200's that I bought used 8 years ago and they are still going. The Phat filters are the big surprise, I have some going on 8 years that still do the job just fine, pretty amazing when I figured I would have to replace them every year or two.

Here is a pic showing how I put mine together, the output air is directed below my lights and above my canopy.

I just figured I would run them as long as they do the job, but I am in a legal state.

Honestly, I am moving towards just grabbing a few more AirROS units so I can dedicate one to each room. They do the job on the odor while also sterilizing the room and all surfaces the air touches. Right now I just have the one unit and I move it from room to room. When it's in a room I have to turn off the carbon filters so they don't filter out the hydrogen trioxide. Since it's only pulling about 30 watts and is a lot quieter there is only upside (except the cost).

I looked AirROS I read it kills COVID, pretty awesome but I tell ya when a web site says call without much info I am sure I can not afford it. I thinking with temps at another 10 degrees up, I don't know, I didn't think it even got even as warm as it does here, as nor humid. Maybe Ill just flower and go for broke.
