filtered --
we need more info here:
how big is your room -- how many plants do you have
that will help decide how large a carbon filter you need.
In my set up the filter ducts out to an aluminum chimney so that it releases on the roof.
That still doesn't get all the stink out. I suggest purchasing an ozone filter like from ecoquest, or another quality ozone machine.

its a small room with 7 plants 4x4
a vortex 172 cfm 4" exahaust
carbon filter odor xtractor 4" out the back wall
should i go with a bigger carbon filter or exahaust fan?
should i also get a ozone machine

i only use my filter when i got stinky bud around week 2or3 of flower the filter lasts about 3 shows but if you use it 24/7 it will need to be refilled after a couple months theres also some gel in 2.5gl pail that works well called ona

okay chiefa, lets calculate: 16sq ft as base and 8ft height? that would be about 128 cu ft then - the exhaust is strong enough for you room therefore. if you add a carbon filter that is bought and not from the DIY section here it has a rating and this should be about 15% more then your vents rating leaving you with the need for a 197 cfm filter.

if possible fit the exhaust pipe to your chimney and ventilated it out at roof level - not too many folks crawling on your roof, eh?
