Efficiency of carbon filters ??

Hey there,
Just looking for some sort of assurance.
My apartment is 1 room shared and we live on a main road. My roomie wants to grow a few plants in a grow tent with a carbon filter extracter.
The thing is theres not really anywhere to vent it too and if the smell leaks outside of the tent itself or any smell comes out that extractor then he will probably get busted.
Are these things good enough to contain it all?
Or do u think in our situation we should not do it?

Hmmm OK.
So does everyone who grows own their own house in the country then? I assume they must do as theres no way of getting rid of the smell completely and the neighbours are bound to get a whiff every now and again if you are venting it.
Also landlords generally inspect their property every 3- 6 months so how do people get around that? I thought doing it stealthily with carbon scrubbers and venting would be enough but if the room its in still smells then the landlords will bust them.
Generally the its seems pretty impossible to do unless you own a house in the countryside?
Someone needs to invent a strain that doesn't smell !!! It would be a gold mine to anyone that can do it!

Thanks.
Has anyone invented a strain that doesn't smell?

Thanks guys.
I reckon if we have 1. Sealed grow environment 2. Low smell strain like northern lights 3. Low amount of plants (3-4?) 4. Carbon filter and ozone generator 5. Vent the air output outside 6. Get a larger, more discreet apartment, preferably top floor
The lighting used will be CFL as well which I think may help a bit as the heat from HPS might make it smell more.
Hopefully that will be enough to keep it stealthy.

Hmmmm I find that hard to understand
A 250 watt CFL can be touched with the hand yet a 250 watt HPS is absolutely cooking and would burn you if you touched it and they stick out like a sore thumb with thermal imaging cams.
I don't think whatever is generated by a small CFL would be visible. Especially considering it would be constantly being vented out by cool air.
I spose you mean you have to use many more lights to get the same lumens then that would then increase the heat output by comparison? I think I get it...
We are talking about 3-4 plants though and were think of using 2 x 250 watt CFLs . One the flowering type and one the veg type but we just gonna run both through the whole process to get a full spectrum for the whole grow.
