    Default Smells

    So for the last day or two, upon arriving home, I can definitely smell weed even though my fan and carbon filter are running exactly the same as they have been for the whole grow. FIlters only a month old, so it shouldn't be a problem. Have a lot of negative pressure-I can see the tent walls being sucked inwards. What could the issue be?

    Could it be a loose fitting / connection somewhere? Where is you filter, in or outside of the tent? If its outside could be worth giving it a smell to make sure its not a dud...

    Everything is in the tent. I did check all the connections etc. Cant really see any issues. Its all the same as it was the day i put it in. The plants are heavily into flowering now, so the smell is at its peak. Maybe a little is managing to leak through the tent vents. I do have some ONA Pro..

    If there is no smell coming out of the extractor vent then yeah sounds like it must be the tent but thats really odd if you have negative pressure. You dont switch off the extractor fan at night or anything?

    No i dont. Its running 24/7. Really weird. And im wary of using ONA in the same room as the tent from all the poeple saying it will destroy the smell of the plants

    How’s the humidity in there? High humidity can stop the filter working efficiently

    anything over 70% humidity and they won't even last a few months b4 dying

    edit--
    all the rain the last few days might have spiked the rH and above 70% they'll not run @100%

    In my experience its normally the ducting that has disconnected. You know with us all being stoners its easy missed.Id triple check all your ducting, likely disconnected from the filter. Humidity could cause it or your filter is spent. Unlikely though since you just got it. What brand is it?

    I have a RAM pro and no issues with smells (second grow). Smell has really picked up the last week or so

    Humidity is 41% so it's not that. I'll check ducting
