Absolutely, I mean there are strains with less smell, but once the plant hits the second half of flower and starts reeking... that ona gel won't be of much help.
But not to worry a diy carbon scrubber is easy to build and there are many here on IC who have reported about it. With this small of a set up and just one plant a really small one will be sufficient, way smaller than the smallest commercially available. There are ready built micro solutions available too, but I take it you want to keep the costs down, so diy it is...

before carbon I was using ona inside box and there was no smell but had to replace ona daily with fresh ona gel /was using small amount in front of intake fan/.

it will work but its not worth it since you will be using tons of ona gel..
but it will work if its replaced daily..

its just expensive..
and you will have to harvest very soon coz it will not work in full flower..
had to ductape the box mid flower coz it was smelling a little too much to my liking..
carbon is best no smells whatsoever even with full box in late flower.

e: oh well double posting about stuff since too high again..

thanks guys, I guess I'll be building a diy carbon scrubber. Actually I already considered it and have charcoal ready to make one, but I hoped it wouldn't be necessary. shouldn't be too hard :)

She's looking a little healthier now, the bottom sets of leaves are a write off though so I'm not sure what that means for topping... I guess I'll wait for four healthy sets before topping.
