Hello im about to order a ozone generator for me as a second cover up if it starts to smell (outside the tent).
Does anyone have experience of how mutch mg / h it should be to be effective for 20 flowers in a seperated room with ventilation ? / Flodas

Why go ozone? carbon filtration does it so much better and you can go easymode and get a stand alone air scrubber type unit that also has a hepa filter. I'm guessing youre already using some form of carbon filtration in the tent itself, theres no reason to use ozone over carbon. Just google air scrubber with carbon and anything u see there will do a better job than ozone ever could as your second line of defense for odor.

Even honeywell makes carbon prefilters for any of their common as hell air purifiers.

That on any unit even if it isnt speciifically made for carbon, will best any ozone generator, for $15.

Also, don't use ozone if it will be pulled into your tent, not tolerated well by plants in high concentrations.

Yes i know i know :) but i will only use it when the tent is open for watering etc. I need it because my neighbour smells it. I dont have 1 400 and 1 480 carbon. Any suggestion on what mg/h? I already got a ionizer from honey but it barely helps

I don't know the numbers but have experience using ozone. At levels high enough for odor elimination you can harm growth. You might try researching the recommended coverage area of each unit, I believe most publish this. But only treat outgoing air.

I have to strongly, STRONGLY disagree. No a carbon filter slapped in a honeywell does NOT remove smell better than a proper ionizer. A commercial ionizer (3500) will blow that away. Carbon filtration is great for treating outgoing air exhaust. Ionization is great for keeping down the smell in the air of the house/building. Have never personally had any issues with growth being stunted or plants harmed - just use common sense. Match the rec square footage to your space. Dont stick a commercial unit meant for 3000ft2 in a 10x10 room, derr! Been a fan of them since 1997, never had any issues (besides cheap, crappy ones not working lol)

Plants like ionizers, but very different from ozone generators. Some units have both ionizers and ozone.
