ya, i've been told to avoid the 'corona discharge' models... that they don't work nearly as well as the other type. i'd also recommend a OzoneJr.1000 up to a Ozonator 3000 for that size space. i'd stay away from the "C.A.P." model as it isn't easily controlled by a timer.

as long as ur not sleeping and growing in the same room... in the grow room is just fine. ozone falls so you want to place it as high up in the room as possible (attach it to the ceiling) upwind from your plants.
if you were moving your air to another room to be treated (perhaps before being exhausted outside) then after or in the ducting would be fine as well. it would need time to work in that setup... so it would have to come on for a few minutes before the air is exhausted.
i am running a constant "500 cfm" home depot inline exhaust booster fan to draw fresh air into the flower room day and night (it exhausts the ceiling air into the attic... which then exits the roof directly outside. So basically i just make sure that even when i am in the flower room standing right next to my plants i cannot smell them.
i've grown pounds of bud per harvest in the middle of a ghetto trailer court with trailers 10 to 30 feet away on all sides... and police officers canvassing the ghetto trailer park for criminals. I did this with an ozone generator 3000 alone, in the flower room. (approximately a 7 by 15 foot space with 15 minutes on and 45 minutes off.) plus i think it helps to stave off powdery mildew. at least, i've never had a problem with that... so it could just be anecdotal.

Not so into the Florida thang, 'fraid. Gimme the Pac NW any day. . .
Trailers are a fantastically economical way to grow massive amounts of weed. Definitely not without some drawbacks though when in a park of any kind.

sick grow bro.....all this time I been skipping you journal cause the "hempy" part turned me off..LOL ...late, but better late than never...subscribed
heheh. its just like any manual hydroponic setup... could just as well be coco or rockwool cubes or hygroton... though i'm personally in favor of pure perlite at this point. If it were an automated hydroponic system then i might have to consider a different medium... but i could see pure perlite still working with ebb and flo as well as drip irrigation, just not so much aeroponics or deep water culture. there are a surprising number or people on RIU doing different types of 'soil-less' potting mixtures... BAYAREAMEDICAL and raiderman and Thundercat and shrnkrmn are just a few that have been going a while now.sick grow bro.....all this time I been skipping you journal cause the "hempy" part turned me off..LOL ...late, but better late than never...subscribed
but welcome to the grow... and i believe that there are good things to come
i have some changes in the loop and on the drawing board..

Hey gambler good lookin out man, thanks for the name drop bro!! I am however using soil at the moment. Its soil with alot of perlite in it, but soil.heheh. its just like any manual hydroponic setup... could just as well be coco or rockwool cubes or hygroton... though i'm personally in favor of pure perlite at this point.

woopsHey gambler good lookin out man, thanks for the name drop bro!! I am however using soil at the moment. Its soil with alot of perlite in it, but soil.
weren't you doing Hempy for awhile?maybe u've used perlite with your shrooms
i see that people do that when they are 'casing' them, i guess. damn't man, one of these days i'll get more motivated and hop on that train. right now i'd need some things i don't have though... like a refridgerator... and a hotplate... etc. the only electric i run is for the cpu and the hot water heater just before taking a shower to reduce electrical usage.but a country boy can survive (heheh) OH .... A COUNTRY BOY CAN SURVIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE !!!

Smart. I was wondering what precautions you take...I am paranoid about running my 1k, let alone all of a $600 bill!woops
maybe u've used perlite with your shrooms
.
I pay $120 ish per month, but way less bang than you got lol
after asking for a reduced electrical rate... my last bill was just under 400... so that puts about 1k into electrical costs. i can live with that.
.
i've heard good things about the G13xHashPlant. i can't complain after stripping fan leaves here and there ... with latex gloves the flowers and trichomes form finger hash. quickly realized you can't take real big hits of finger hash and expect to hold it in

Thats good news! I read you had asked about it. Just out of curiousity, what kind of interactions do you have with them discussing it?
Do you mind talking about it on here? If not, maybe a PM, if you want.
I am just wondering, do they ask you why you're using so much power? Just curious for that story...
Thanks bro.

DaG, bigjesse, if I may: My bill's $580/mo right now and I've had it as high as $700; used to pay my bill in crisp $20s at the power company office counter. No one ever raised an eyelash, blushed, grimaced, or anything.
I know this all could vary wildly from state to state, county to county, and township to township, but in my neck of the woods it's not something that alone is indicative of illegal activity at all. My neighbour (the closest one resembling such) has a full metal fabrication shop in his garage and he pays twice what I do a month for elec.
There're people in Mcmansions consuming $600/mo without blinking, and without doing anything illicit whatsoever. I don't lose sleep at night over this aspect of the business, that's for sure.
Just call ur local provider and say... hey, look i'm paying xx.xx per kwH and two other people that i talked to are paying yy.yy or less per kwH. So if i look around are you going to be able to match a lower rate when i find one? "Uh, no sir, we can't do that, but we can give you the lowest rate that we are offering right now... which is zz.zz (even less than your friends are paying !!)." They aren't going to call you and tell you ur being ripped off and that they would be happy to take 35 percent less per killowat hour. You have to call them after finding someone else that is paying less... so ask around. It's like moving your credit card bills to a cheaper interest rate (or threatening to do so).
I used less than 4000 kwH last month... that makes me feel that i am still pretty 'safe'. i have heard about cooperative efforts between the police dept. and electrical companies whereby they choose some arbitrary usage amount, like 4000 kwH per month, and print out a list of people that use more than that as possible suspects. Something to consider, i guess.
(EDIT: and like OldFrog said, it isn't hard to have a high electric bill. one of the first things i did when i moved into the current location is insulate the hell out of the place. windows, water heater, extra attic insulation, skirting (5 bedroom mobile home), tops and bottom of doorways that lead to mostly unused rooms. almost all electric panel switches stay off. the lights are almost all air cooled. the ballasts are located remotely under the house. etc.)
