Put foam earplugs in each nostril. Lol Works for me. I got a new air purifier I’ll let you know if that does anything

Yeah I don’t think the wife will go for that one do you have a carbon filter by chance How well does it work if you do
I do not have a carbon filter. Wife says she doesn’t smell it and she’s the one with the sniffer. My nose just holds my glasses up I swear I smell it but maybe it’s just resin on me. Have to get all up in there to peep with a loupe

I use the charcoal filter with a “cozy” over it. The cozy came with the filter. I also use ONA available online thru walmart and damp rid hangers throughout room. Can smell a thing until opening the tent! Hope this helps.
I bought a filter fan combo off of Amazon I think it was 90 bucks it came with the Cozy that goes over the filter but like you said whenever you open it up pretty powerful I think the fan combo I got on Amazon was like 8799 it’s the only one of its kind only a 4 inch with the tent closed currently end it running on full I do have a controller to slow down the fan and speeded up but I just leave it turned all the way up and I can’t smell anything so the filter must be pretty good don’t know how long it will last but I definitely want to buy one next time that will last I really appreciate your time talking to me about it I currently have it set up in the basement but I do really appreciate you commenting back thank you again

Do me a favor and post the amazon link to the fan/filter you bought. I will adjust it so we can leave it up for members. OK?

@latewood if there is anything else just let me know thanks
That’s the one I got glad to know it works as soon as mine start to smell outside my media room I’m going to hook it up . I thought my wife was going to flip out over the smell so . I took her down and opened the door and she said the same thing about not really smelling it and she has never smoked . I thought for sure she would bitch me out all she said was what little she did smell was pleasant.@Hogmaster

Well had to hook up the exhaust when I opened the door to go downstairs and the smell of weed hit me in the face the other day but now it is totally gone if I want to get a sniff I literally have to open the tent and stick my head inside . So yes for me this works great

Yeah bud I already had it but was kind of shocked when I hooked it up how well it actually worked . Your wife kind of sounds like mine . My wife has only tried weed once and it crippled her for about three hours . She doesn’t understand how I can smoke and still be able to move lol . So more for me 
But she likes the fact that it improves my quality of life so all is good

Wish I could have done that but no such luck I had to actually tell mine I was going to start a grow weather she liked it or not I had to confiscate our game/media room for my tent she is in the basement to much for me to hide it . But for the first time in 26 years she truly shocked me and said that my being comfortable was more important than her not liking the fact I smoke . I broke my back a while ago and I hate opioids so my life has kind of been on hold I hope this works

Plastic off the room sealing it on the edges with tape. That should close things off fairly well and keep the smell into leaking into your house. The filter and fan should then work much better. Plastic is cheap. Can get it at any home improvement store under vapor barrier. Running it through the chimney probably does not help. Once you have the area sealed up you will be able to use the filter just inside the room itself and it will scrub the air creating fresh. Just a bonus. I’ve done it in my basement and worked real well.
