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.

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? ThxOther. Harvest - Drying

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant?
Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?

Not complete darkness during drying ok?I will cut my plants tomorrow, hang them in my room and leave for 2 weeks to travel. How important is complete darkness during drying? The room (45rh, 22degrees) has heavy curtains, but some soft light is shining through, so I’m thinking to nail a blanket to cover the window.Other. Harvest - Drying

Thoughts on reducing temp and humidity in this dry tent?I dry my bud in one of these HerbDryers that has an extractor fan. Because the surrounding air is still at 27 degrees celsius and RH at 67%, those values are the same inside the HerbDryer.
Any thoughts on how I might reduce the temp and RH inexpensively?
