Get yourself a better fan at this link.... Dayton Blower - Home & Garden - Compare Prices, Reviews and Buy at NexTag - Price - Review
.... once you get the proper sized fan, go to your local hardware store and buy a small amount of chicken wire (just enough to roll it up into a cylinder 16"x3-6" depending on the intake diameter size on your fan) then you will obviously need some sort of carbon filter. Most stores sell them in different sizes.. find an appropriate size that will wrap around the cylinder of chicken wire that you have made. Be sure to also cover up the open end of the cylinder. Being leak free is the key so duct tape any open areas so that all of the odors are forced to go thru the carbon filter thus eliminating the odors in your house.

how do you expect that carbon filter to work if you dont completely seal it up? in your second picture it shows your carbon filter is only wrapped about 3/4 of the cylinder. this does no good if air will avoid the carbon filter and go through the higher flowing open holes in the cylinder.

wrap the carbon filter properly and seal it up good so that any air exiting from your grow area will only travel through the filter where the odors are then eliminated.

Small amounts of ozone will clear your problem right up. Don't put the ozone generator right next to the plants, you want to hit the exhaust with ozone and not the plants themselvs.

I build my own ozone generators but yesterday I saw a nice little unti selling for $90 at a local grow shop.

High amounts of ozone will cause irriatation in your throat/lungs so only use small amounts.
