Hi Waldo,

Is your ducting, fan and filter all taped up with no leaks.

Maybe a hole in the ducting after the filter?

How do you have your filter/fan/ducting setup ?

The only thing I can think of is humidity.
When the lights are on, the plants are 'active' and transpiring a lot more moisture in to the room....this may be affecting your filters ability to cope.
Have you got a hygrometer that you can use to check this and if it is a problem, can you increase the airflow??

humdity is 52% mate is that two high i use a twin fan controller but just run the one fan

I would be concerned if it was above 70%.
52% should be no issue imo.
Check and re-check your joints and look for a little hols in the ducting....some types can tear easily.
That's all I can come up with.

I was gonna say neg pressure but maybe its because your using a grow tent, I've found when I have used the 1.2/1.2 tent I always have a smell issue, not really a cannabis smell but a plant/leaf smell, thats why I stopped using them as a flower room and now just build boxes using 2x2 and plasterboard One thing I did find that helped was when I was using a 6 inch 300mm(L) filter I was getting a canna smell but then changed to a 6 inch 600mm(L) filter and the prob was solved. I now use a 10 inch 1000mm
