Surprised by your last comment. My Aurora grows were so non-stinky that I didn't bother with any carbon can. Is it the Papaya that's giving off the dank smell? Don't forget to identify your photos so we can tell which is which!

Yeah i will make up some labels for the pics.. yeah its both that stink,the AI is a very strong vibrant smell where the papaya right now is more mellow but fruity or sweet smelling......even my lil host's are stanky too..
