I'm the kind of guy that likes a veg and flowering room. I find instead of having two carbon air filters and fans, to kill the smell of the veg area I enjoy an ozone generator on a digital timer. It works really well if you time it throughout the day to where it just precisely kills the smell.
Peace.
Actually ozone, unless it is a direct vent to outside, I think is a big no no. It stunts growth with plants, along with lack of airflow.
the ozone generator is bad for the environment so dont use them i mean its good vibes for your plants. How big is your room? 1 carbon filter a good one can easily get rid of all smells.
I have a pretty big carbon scrubber with 6 inch 450 cfm fan. These plants in my closet stink to high heaven; black domina strain. Grown before, but never had plants stink this much. It's incredible. Guess the Carbon has to go inside the closet, instead of right outside it. I mean the smell isn't that bad, but I can still smell it; and it gets more powerful everyday.
I was going to get a 1 minute interval digital timer and have it run the ozone for 1 minute, every hour. The unit I have is so powerful if left on for 30 minutes would create enough ozone to be "possibly hazardous to health." hehe.
Like you corrected yourself in the OP, only run ozone generators inducting, and make sure that ducting is being vented outside and not into your household.
I find that the best way to get rid of smell is to not only have a scrubber on your exhaust, but have one that's constantly recirculating the air inside of your room/closet. Obviously depending on the size of your room is going to effect the size of the fan and scrubber you get.

Try this one, flood your grow room with ozone. The plants that don't look like they are dying are more along in the rooting process then the others. Hey, it only slows them down for 3 days.
I don't really recommend it, but I did it by accident; live and learn.
