Need help, clarification - Odor control

This may sound like a stupid question, but everything I've read seems to indicate that carbon scrubbers are only used in an enclosed setup, like a box or a tent. I'm doing a closet grow, but I removed the closet doors because it isn't very deep, so effectively I have 3 plants lined up against one side of the room. I have a window A/C in that room that is no longer used, and another window A/C on the other end of the apartment in the living room, and that's where the odor is leaking out from. I've been burning incense to compensate, but now its 8 weeks into flowering and the air blowing out of the A/C just smells like incense and weed. I've put car air fresheners across the filter when the leak began a few weeks ago and that worked great, but I had to replace them daily and I'm looking for something more permanent. ONA doesn't sound like it would be effective enough by itself. Any ideas?

 

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! Since I don't know anything about this stuff, could you please just confirm that this fan is compatible with this filter, and that it would be effective for my situation?

Fan - Hydro House 6" Inline Fan

Filter - Phresh Intake Filter 6" X 12" 450 Cfm

Merci encore pour tout l'information mon ami

 

You guys are awesome, I actually just added a sig to reflect that fact lol thanks dude. I guess I have one more question, when the lights come on I open the door to the rest of the apartment and stick a fan in the doorway on the floor to bring in some fresh cool air. Should I use this new fan similarly, or should I have it blowing air out of the room from the floor and allow the fresh air to enter naturally due to the negative pressure in the room? To me it doesn't sound like a good idea to bring fresh air in near the ceiling and force out stale air from the floor, but then again I really don't know much on the subject. Ideally I would mount it up on the wall by the door so it can act as a more proper exhaust fan but that's not really an option right now.

Edit: Also, will I have to purchase a pre-filter and/or flange for the above setup or is it good to go?

 

Well, I already purchased one, from a different site but same picture. Upon further research I found it here: Phresh Intake Filters - Phresh Filters

Apparently what I bought is advertised as "Phresh Intake Filters," and the ones you use are advertised simply as "Phresh Filters." So is there a significant difference between the 2? Did my ignorance get me totally screwed or is it usable?

Edit: Yeah I think I fucked myself please confirm so I know if I should attempt to cancel the order

 

Just my luck, apparently I placed the order with the best online company ever, because not only is it already in transit, it's already in another state! So I guess I'll be posting a review for it next week, cuz it would cost me like $20 to ship it back and restock it. I figured out where I went wrong, the damn things are advertised to remove odors in a couple different sites like ebay and others so I just assumed they did :facepalm:

 

Sorry, I just saw your reply. My research gave me similar results, except that it's apparently defined by phresh as "nano carbon felt technology." Well, it came in today and I'm extremely pleased to announce that it works great. To test it I put it in the room and shut the door, came back in an hour and it smelled like nothing at all, maybe a slight artificial type smell. You can't even smell the plants until you're within about 2 ft of them. Also, these instructions came in the box, from Phresh themselves:

"Should you want to attach an inline fan directly to the Phresh Intake Filter, you will need to use a razor to trim back the paper collar, increasing the inside diameter of the collar. This should allow you to place an inline fan inside the collar. It will be a tight fit. Please understand this is not the intended use, but can be used this way. Securely attach fan to the filter with duct tape. Make sure to seal it completely to prevent air leakage."

It was 100% accurate, I couldn't fit it onto the fan until I trimmed it back with some scissors. So if anybody happens across this thread, these intake filters do help remove odors, but I'm sure Phresh's main line of filters does a better job. For my needs, however, this filter/fan is more than sufficient, because my place doesn't smell like anything anymore. Thanks again dude, your help has been much appreciated!
