We painted 2 weeks ago and the odor was gone.

So we put in plants and after a week we realized the plants began to decline and die due to the paint on walls.

The stronger strains are still not dead. How to fix this asap?

Ventilation is enough? Carbon and hepa filters? Ozone?

Oil based paint. Yes VOC mustve been high. We added ventilation and turned off co2. We also added a few hepa filters. What else can we do??? Paint over the VOC paint with a non non toxic sealing primer or glat white latext paint?

I have one on the way.

How/how much to use for plants tho?

I also am having the high VOC paint painted over with low voc primer.

We are hoping all these effortd will fix the siutation quick and turn around the plants.

I'd take out plants b4 blasting the room with ozone. I only use mine in the exhaust room if family is coming over or to clean between runs.

Sorry I'm unsure about the amount or ratio when using around plants?

In high concentrations it's a known terp and plant killer so I just don't use it until after harvest.
I've read about it being used at low concentration around plants but idk anything about it I'm afraid.

Ideally take the plants out and vent it from ozone before returning them back into the room.
