Negative pressure still needed with no carbon filter?

Let me explain... If you have tents in a closet, where the closet itself is heavily ventilated and carbon scrubbed, do you really need to have the amount of negative pressure that we normally provide to grow tents that have carbon filters inside them?

I was actually thinking this might be a case where equalized pressure might be better, helping to keep the tents the same temperature as the house temperature, instead of a few degrees more. I mean, the whole point of negative pressure is to make sure smells can only escape through the carbon filter, for security purposes, right? Well, the closet the tents are in is already taking care of that, so it seems I should just equalize the pressure in the tents to drop the temperature a few degrees. I was thinking about replacing the Dayton blowers I'm using as exhaust fans, with duct booster fans, and then I would change from passive intake to active intake.

Would anyone care to comment on these thoughts? Thank you.
