mines in a coolshade hood thing and i generally go for 10-12 inches sometimes a bit more depending on how my girls spread.

ive got one of these: http://www.hytechorticulture.co.uk/environment-control-odur-control-c-10_31/uvonair-1000-p-522

 

[Marlowe]

what size ozone generators do you have?
and another question i should have asked a long time ago, how far should i keep my 600 from the plants. its in a cool tube but i dont hae the fan n shit hooked up yet.

Uvo3nair 5000... In combination with a carbon air filter Im able to keep any strains stink down...

Ive learned not to use in dry room caus itll tone down the buds smell

 

[Dezracer]

Better it smelling of bleach than MJ....super clean air that makes your hair go white!

You're right about that.

@ tryna- mine is called an air laser. Its an older unit but meant for rooms up to 3000sq ft. I'd like to run it inside the roombut worry about O3 concentrations getting too high and killing the plants. I don't really know if that would happen but I've read a few different places that it will. I have a piece of tubing going from the outlet on mine sticking into the plenum I made so it cleans the air before it gets blown out of the garage.

They supposed to mess you up or some shit??? I heard they can be bad for you if ran for too long but I don't see how!?! I been thinkin about gettin one what with every other new strain being a super strain I may need all the odor control I can get. I'm already shitting it waiting for the livers too take full affect. Lol

My girlfriend is a Chemical Engineer and she says the same thing... Ill have to ask her

 

[TrynaGroSumShyt]

cool, im getin my carbon filter soon, and i want a smaller siezed ozone gen. i dont want any smell at all. even non weed smells.

 

[Dezracer]

If you're willing to spend the money, there's nice ones that have different settings which makes it possible to run them 24/7 without worrying about harmful effects.

Some manufacturers will have stupid claims in their ads saying it converts the odors to harmless oxygen or sometimes fresh oxygen. What I've read though says it's the 3rd molecule that makes it harmful. It's O3 (Ozone) and not O2 (Oxygen).

 

[Marlowe]

Okay... Talked to the girl and she says if you can smell the O3 then you are breathing it... In your lungs and your body it becomes a free-radical or carcinagen... just like smokin the cigs!

Cheers 600 crew
I see ozone is being discussed here. Since I'm a IAQ contractor I thought I add a little bit of science to this discussion.

From the EPA site:
http://www.epa.gov/iaq/pubs/ozonegen.html

Excerpt:
How is Ozone Harmful?
The same chemical properties that allow high concentrations of ozone to react with organic material outside the body give it the ability to react with similar organic material that makes up the body, and potentially cause harmful health consequences. When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs (see - "Ozone and Your Health" - www.epa.gov/airnow/brochure.html). Relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath, and, throat irritation. Ozone may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and compromise the ability of the body to fight respiratory infections. People vary widely in their susceptibility to ozone. Healthy people, as well as those with respiratory difficulty, can experience breathing problems when exposed to ozone. Exercise during exposure to ozone causes a greater amount of ozone to be inhaled, and increases the risk of harmful respiratory effects. Recovery from the harmful effects can occur following short-term exposure to low levels of ozone, but health effects may become more damaging and recovery less certain at higher levels or from longer exposures (US EPA, 1996a, 1996b).


"Available scientific evidence shows that at concentrations that do not exceed public health standards, ozone has little potential to remove indoor air contaminants."


That's why we use only media filtration !


Good luck!

It seems what I had read originally had been copy/pasted because that's what I read word for word. I feel better about my decision to run it in the exhaust duct now.

Thanks for that info +Rep.

 

[3eyes]

DST- sounds like you need to be walking around the DAM more often or need a helmet haha!

Lol the shapes i get in even walking around the Dam i need a helmet had some really close shaves with bicycles trams and cars

great info unity +rep

I won't be scrapping mine, just keeping it in the exhaust duct so I'm not breathing it. I'm going to move my filter over there I think to set up as a scrubber just to be sure no odors get out of the grow room and into the house. It is starting to smell pretty strong in the room now that there's 21 reg sized plants one there at different stages of flower and I'm concerned about it getting out somehow. It shouldn't as there's a noticeable negative pressure in there. When you open the door the curtain behind it gets sucked away from the door into the grow side of the wall and you can feel a small amount of air flowing through the intake on the wall that's connected to a duct with some bends in it to keep light from getting in or out.

 

[Dezracer]

Only problem with moving the filter is then I won't have any odor control measures in place at my house when I put the vert back together. I just really don't want to spend any more money on this stuff for a while so I won't be buying another filter before the scrog finishes.

 

[mcpurple]

well i got the buhda vape and i am glad i did, it saved me some cash and works great. and while i was at the head shop i saw a few triple perks and started asking about them and she said they are new and have a carbon filter built in so thet when the smoke goes through it the smell gets almost completely eradicated and i almost got this instead but never used one before and did not want it to smell to much when used cuz i wanted something to use inside. my next peice i get will be this triple perk with a carbon filter though for sure.

so any one ever use one or have one?
i just wanted some info on them before hand and see what uses of it have to say.

here is a pic of one, they come in less bulky shapes as well but i though tthis one was kinda cool

My OZN-1 is in my sealed room. I wouldnt throw it away

Im a little concerned about my long-term health though. I think a couple free standing can66s or can100s would be able to replace it. Big money though.

Tell me about it. Too expensive imo.

 

[D.Gotti]

haha yeah it would cost me ohhhh somewhere around $1000 and much more space to replace this $150 box that hangs in the corner

 

[D.Gotti]

Wow you guys wouldnt believe the attention im getting from these induction (edfl) lighting companies.

 

[Dezracer]

Yeah mine is mounted to a box I built of melamine that houses a noisy fan and the outlet tubing is just stubbed in there. I needed the box anyway so the gen really doesn't take up any extra room. The box is mounted to a wall up off the floor too so I don't lose any floor space. I just run a 6" duct from each tent into the box and the one fan handles cooling the lights and exhausting the air from the entire space all at the same time. So far so good but I don't think it'll cut it during the summer months.
