The smell will vary depending on how many plants you grow and the strain and vigor of the plants. Also, the smell usually doesn't get out of hand until the last week or two of flowering and of course throughout the drying process untill they get into jars. This will give you plenty of time to figure it out. The smell wouldn't come through the intake, instead it would exhaust from the room; however, some kind of screen, or if possible, a hepa filter on the intake would be nice to prevent insects and their larva and mold spores from entering the grow. Carbon filters have always worked wonders in my experience as far as removing the odor from the exhaust air. I have used Carbonaire can-style filters for years now because they have never failed me...and I have pushed quite a bit of odor through them in the past. They make 4" 6" 8" and 12" filters and they have a built-in flange that an inline fan such as a Vortex will fit snugly into.
