Send it back an get another, larger one, I've only gone thru 1 6inch scrubber in about a year, took awhile before we started smelling anything.

Make sure the carbon filter is rated appropriately for your in-line fan. If the fan is pushing too much air through, and the carbon filter can't handle it, your air will be aromatic with the sweet odor of our favorite crop. I have a 4" fan, 32"x32" tent, and a 6" filter (adapter between fan and filter). I have zero odor. I struggled too until I arrived at this solution. It's been very effective for 3 months now.

Also check for air leaks, wood would definitely cause that problem
