If the extractor fan is not always on creating a negative pressure in the tent, the smells will seep out. Guessing your carbon filter is attached to that.
If the carbon filter is in a high RH it's less effective and will resume working more efficiently in a lower RH.
If the carbon filter is older it might be spent and time for a new one.
Keep temps low to try and reduce the amount of smell coming off the plants if possible and point the fan at a wall vs directly at the drying buds may also help.
I notice when my extractor+filter is not on and the mini tent fans are on, smells seep out into my living area. If I have the extractor fan on the lowest setting 1 outa 10 it keeps it from doing that. As long as your RH is saying between 55-62 and temps are around 15-21 it should dry nice and slow.
Good Luck!

You did not say what type filter you are using? Is it a thin sheet style or a large canister?
My filter works well if I run my fan at 4 or lower (1 is lowest, 10 highest). If I run it higher the carbon filter can't absorb fast enough to keep up with the airflow. To help I run a larger filter. So, I use a 6" filter with my 4" fan and it allows me to run the fan much higher and still absorb odors.
Also, carbon filters do not last forever. With heavy use and high humidity they don't last as long and need more frequent replacement.

2x2 Circulating FanWhat is the best circulating fan for a 2x2 tent available on the european market?
I bought a Secret Jardin MO20 oscillating fan, and I highly regret it because I have read several reviews mentioning that it can catch fire. Is there any other good alternative for circulating air?

To harvest, or not to harvestCurious what others thoughts are - I realize this diary is seriously lacking. I only stumbled here on week 8 of this experiment.
Do you think this girl is nearing, right at or still some time left before harvest?

WW 70% Indica/30%Sativa, if the trichome color is milky it will be a head fucused instead of body focused effect

Should I trim/jar now or wait another day or 2?Today is day 4 of drying and I've unfortunately had my temps around 68 and humidity at around 42%. The buds feel pretty dry/on the verge of crispy but the stems still have some bend. Should I jar tonight or will the moisture even out and wait for that snap? Thanks for any help!

Is this still good or is it ruined?Hung plants to dry and waited for stems to snap, unfortunately when I checked the buds were so crispy they basically crumbles in my hands. I heard this could be mold/rot also. Did I mess up and over dry my buds, or is this something much more awful? Is this still salvageable?

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.
