I have an ozone generator. I used to run it in my flower room for 15 min on/15 min off. It is very effective at killing odor. Can't speak on mold or pm as I never really deal with that. I've since upgraded to ventilation and carbon filters, but the ozone generator does a fine job.

I use ozone as well, but not in the room, just outside. Ozone will kill mold, mildew etc. I heard in the room is no good(kills flavor, smells, taste of flowers) unless used between runs, that should be fine.

So you had no issues with it hurting the plants themselves and ran it in the same room?

Any way you could find out how much ozone your generator makes?

There's an article that says 30-45 seconds for every cubic meter of your grow room but this is assuming an output of 400 mg ozone per hour, the ozone generator that I bought puts out 4,000mg ozone per hour (10 x)

article discussing this here,

Also you are not supposed to generate ozone and be in that room! You need to wait 45 min before reentering or it'll hurt your lungs!


Any other input? Read the article, seems very helpful... Want to sterilize the room without hurting the plants! What do you guys suggest?

And if you use this before week 4/5 of flower, I wouldn't think the smell would be effected on the end product because there's plenty of time left for growth of buds/terps....

I'm honestly not going to be much help. I used it many years ago for a short amount of time (until I read about the potential health concerns). I just know that its effective for eliminating odor. I still have it. Here's a couple pics of it...

I have the exact same one but I've had to replace the bulb, I'm going to have to research articles on the health concerns, I know they use ozone in hospitals to kill bacteria and germs. I think there's only a health concern if there's an over concentration of ozone. the one that's pictured has been running in my basement for more than four years without issue other than a burned-out bulb. It all boils down to how much ozone you're producing in a certain amount of time and the volume of the treatment area.

On another note I broke down and picked up Soulmate, Phone Home and Heavenly Hash Plant. Looking forward to some Wookie crosses, and I'm real curious about that Bubba Katsu as well.

Actually, they use uv-c light to sterilize, i looked at getting one of these to sterilize an empty room.
