This is just my two cents there will be lotta gas Cham into I’m sure.
Sounds like you need a bigger filter and also may be a bigger fan remember you don’t want to push the air too fast through the filter or the carbon will not have time to scrub the air. If your humidity is high I’ve heard that will affect it also as far as the smell goes.

I have used some really overpowered exhaust fans, the only thing thats a real issue is the tent trying to implode lol. High CFM kits help.

I’ve always used cheap fans so I can’t suggest a quiet one. Re fro is correct... oversize your blower and dial it down as needed. It’ll move more air at a lower decibel than a smaller fan at 100%.
If you have a negative pressure you are sure to filter all the air but your tent will implode and be abit smaller.. the sides suck in several inches

If your tent sides suck in too much you can get a "high CFM" kit for your tent that adds extra bars on the sides to brace it more. I used two on my 2x4 with a 10 inch vortex lol. I dial it WAY down and it is silent but moving tons of air.

Right, couple of points.

First where does your vented air go that your house is stinking?

Second if you have two tents of different volume and you use one fan to vent both spaces then your going to have one tent at one temp and the smaller tent at much lower tenp because the air in that tent is been exchanged far more often than the bigger tent.

When your duct is different lengths and your filters are different sizes then you end up with the fan pulling through the path of least resistance , been the bigger filter. But since theres such a big difference in volume between the two tents it might work in your favour.

If it doesn't then you can use your small fan/filter to vent your little tent and send the air directly into the bigger tent and let your big fan/filter deal with the stink.

I have my fan inside the tent creating negative presser but blowin air into my carbon filter which is out side of the tent
