Sir Tokes A Lot

There's this guy in my apartment building that is either running a grow op without proper filtration/ventilation or he smokes so much goddamn weed the smell leaks into every apartment in our building. I don't mind but a family just moved in and filed a complaint.
Apparently it wasn't enough to deter him because I can smell his/her weed in my apartment, which has two 6" carbon filters running 24/7. I've received no complaints in over two years since I've been here (and have been smoking)... I don't want this guy to fuck it up for the rest of the people that live here. Thankfully we're in colorado and the notice posted on our doors by admin was incredibly polite, asking whoever this guy is to vaporize, or consume edibles or just do something about the smell -- it was like something from a parallel universe in how polite they were about his weed consumption/smell.
He's done nothing (kept on smoking/growing) and it's been two weeks, I'm at the point where I want to post a sign asking him to get a carbon filter set up because it's drawing attention from administration to about half of the building who smokes responsibly (using sploofs/filters or rooms where the smell doesn't leak out). I'm really not happy about the attention he's drawn.
Complaints to admin are off the table because it would only screw over people who use responsibly, while keeping myself out of their way, which is dickish and self-serving on a lot of levels.
I don't really know what to do... Our apartment complex is incredibly lax when it comes to weed, you can grow per terms of the lease as long as you do so responsibly/legally. Consumption is clearly allowed within the terms as well, so it's tricky. People in my building don't even mind occasional parties where music/weed/alcohol/nitrous and all manner of drugs are consumed as long as it's not constant or interfering with their lives.
I have nothing against the guy and don't mind personally, but he needs to get smarter about whatever he's doing to prevent prying by admin. I want to help him out, suggestions?

Why don't you give him a knock, have a smoke and a chat, and work this whole thing out? Most people would not be against some subtle persuasion, especially if coming from someone who is clearly knowledgeable in the subject...

I definitely would, but I can't figure out which apartment he lives in. His smoke is that pervasive.

If you can't figure out what apartment he's in by sniffing it out in the hall, it sounds like there's a good chance that it's you.

I thought that at first... although I was taking a long tolerance break when the notices went out, and I've been living here for two years without complaint so ? The pervasive weed smell also doesn't line up with the times I smoke, and I generally get blasted when I return from work. I no longer grow, so that's not a variable. There's literally no way I could smoke enough weed to smell up three stories of a building with carbon filters, external air conditioning/venting and fairly minimal use (a gram and half over the past week).

Really? Only 1.5 grams of weed over the past 7 days?
Because yesterday you posted that you were smoking "massive amounts of sativa". So I'm not really buying that you smoke just a bowl or two every day.
Sounds like it's you that they're complaining about, and you're too stoned to realize it.

Start smoking a lot of crack
The smell of chemicals will naturalize the smell of chronic
The increased attention may also help you figure out which apartment the smell is coming from

Now that you mention it, he's almost definitely growing. I'll check the electrical meters next time I go out and see if there's a huge discrepancy.
@Burke
When I said massive amount of sativa, that was like half of a gram and I was preparing to go through a tank of nitrous, ergo, embellishment? Half a gram was a massive amount for me... I have almost no tolerance right now because between work and sleep, I don't have that much time to smoke. Weekends, sure, nights, occasionally, but yesterday was a celebration of me cashing my first paycheck from the new group I'm working with.
I can definitively say, being pretty damn sober now, that STAL is not me.
