I personally use carbon filters for both my intake and exhaust. I use slightly more intake pressure so the tent is poofed out just a bit. When you press on an outer side wall of the tent it should slightly spring back out. This positive pressure will prevent pests and dust from getting sucked in through seems and openings. I filter the exhaust to prevent my home from smelling like cannabis flowers. I have a 6" inline fan and carbon filter for intake and a 4" inline fan and carbon filter for exhaust. Both inline fans have potentiometers and the ability for speed control so I can dial in the positive pressure.
