 Odor control

Alright, It's about time for me to start researching odor control.
My plants are very small but putting out a tremendous odor. By the time they reach maturity its going to be ridiculous.
I've seen about every video ever made on growing so I have a few idea's rumbling around.
I feel the need to make this post even though I know there's probably 50 million posts about this already.
Who knows, maybe some newbie will stumble upon this post and reply with a revolutionary idea that nobody has thought of.
Oh well, I figured I'd ask you guys what are some good ways to control the odor before I google away for the next 3 hours.
I like to tap all resources...
I have access to tons of activated carbon. I currently run over 30 fish tanks and each one gets new carbon every month.
Has anyone ever made they're own carbon air scrubber?
For people that own one, How are they designed?
Thanks if you decide to reply

I've done a DIY Carbon scrubber; easy as pie. As less mess if you dont use fish charcoal; but air purifier carbon filters. Basically its a filter soaked in carbon. As for how its made; hundreds of thousands of ways! Depending on how safe you want to be; i just did a mesh circle around a 4-6" duct adaptor with a 6" cap, then wraped that in two layers of the filter; then taped the ends... done; worked.
Another way is to buy a pricey ass one.
Another is OZone. Im in debate about this. Its good; its bad. Ask one person and "Its no worse then cigs", ask another and "You die the day you use it". These too as i found out are DIY; for around $50 depending how thrifty you is. But this will actually neutralize the air by emiting O3 and electrically charged stuffs that attract dust and pollen too. I'd research this and lemme know what you discover 
Carbon scrubber will deff work; just decide how big; what shape; ect that you want. You can even do a dual chamber with active carbon inbetween the two carbon filters... possibility is endless...

there should be plenty of tecs on how to create any size scrubber you want, definitely the way to go buying anything professional is just stupid.
