I live in a house with other people, they don't care that I am growing because they all smoke and could use the free bud... who would figure! The only thing is that they said they don't want others to smell it because this type of thing doesn't need to be public knowledge. My question is how can I ventilate my room without cutting (Landlord said "No") and installing blower fans to take the smell outside? I have 3 oscilating fans in my 8x3x6 enclosure and some weather stripping on my door. What else could I do? Negative Ion Generator?

ozone generator is probably more effective, ordor sock(carbon filter). I use a carbon filter and no one knows I grow.

I would install a scrubber, basically a 5 gallon bucket filled with activated carbon, with a fan drawing air thru it. I put baffles in mine, like a car muffler. it works so that you cant smell the grow when you are outside the shed. I use it in the house when I dry a harvest too.

I am not suggesting you buy this http://htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=52531 but I think something like this is what you are going to need. The two components are;
Squirel cage fan - I am going to advise going with something w/ at least 250 cfm. Don't make the mistake of buying other "boosters" labled as inlines.
Carbon Scrubber - Make your own, there are ton of guides out there. Learn how they work and build the unit to fit your application and fan. I started building after reading this thread. http://www.marijuanagrowing.eu/cannabis8114.html I have to build 2 of these in the upcoming months for non growing applications and am planning a DIY for the site.
You will also need to move additional air around the room. Since you have no ventilation plans, you might want to consider a few osculating fans.
