My highest reccomendation for this inexpensive unit,ZERO SMELL & cheap.

Well, I guess I dont use the ozone generators correctly---so I have a couple of units not in use anymore. Even with a 4'x4'x8' mixing room and a "Big Blue" 10" + a Uvonair1000, mixing screens, walls, then brought outside with passive ducting, these things never worked for me. This WW I've been growing for the past year is completely out of control smell wise. I thought the uv was working, but add heat, humidity and a 440cfm at 50% and they failed for me.
So I bought another Phresh 10"x39" filter for over $200 and put it in the room and send the exhaust straight out---wow, no smell in over 3 months now, not even a hint of mj smell ever...... I dont care if this things fails in another month, I 'll buy another one just for the peace of mind it has given me.......
I am sure the UV must work; I just couldn't get it right........

I am with you wyteboi!---->'.....carbon is the only way to go .'

.......I have heard they are better---The Corona Disharge Units....but by the time I had heard that I was way in over budget and had gone back to the ever-faithful carbon.
Please do post your findings with your build!!---a diy would be great! +rep, Murphy!

how do you install these? does it do in the air ducting or into a box where the air is mixed? thank you
Ive heard of both working---and my hydroshop guy said the inline ones(like the one in the beggining of this thread)work. My experience is that's not true; it needs needs to have the time to mix, and is the reason you see peeps posting about useing screens, boxes, rooms, etc., for it to havve time to work. The carona discharge seem the way to go, from what I've read, but never tried one myself. Next time around I will give on a shot---and I am waiting to hear of Murphys results in his journel, which I need to go find atm.

I do swear by the carbon scubbers, as big and expensive as they are, and the way I am useing one atm I am sure it wont last to long due to RH...........
Great luck to you MechanicalStoner!

not so much at the journal yet i'm not really much for the blog format(i've never even really done it) i'm havin a major episode with my back and have been really medicating lately-
i do need to start getting some pics up! LOL

but i'm getting ready to put together a fairly large med grow (only 12 but as big as i can get 'em) and i think this type of unit will produce the highest scrub factor
the thing i still don't have is a glass tube that i feel is thick enough, the one in the pic i posted, and the one at the shop (which only has 1 glass tube instead of three) use a glass that is almost a quarter of an inch thick, now i don't know if it matters or not but the piece of glass i have is a straight hurricane lamp shade/tube, i was going to put the screen in and out and then dip the ends in that red plier handle dip, for coating tool handles

if any of you guys have an opinion on the glass let me know, i don't think the thickness of the glass matters though as the DIY one posted on here the guy uses just a flat piece of window glass which is about the same thickness of what i have

probable cause

The second set of experiments was based upon a situation present in an illicit
marijuana grow house in northern California. In the grow house, ((((odors from immature​

from a road several hundred yards away, and subsequently used this odor as probable cause
for a search. In this second set of studies, we first sought to determine whether the odor of
immature marijuana plants differs in quality or intensity from that of mature marijuana

plants. We then investigated whether participants

I have a room that is 10x13 with an 8' ceiling. Would the Gen-1 be over kill for my room? My set up in 2 XXXL hoods with an 8" Vortex fan that is self contained and I dont want to add a carbon fan. The door to my room is always open since I live a alone and rarely have visitors but my house STINKS. What is the closest that I can have the ozone generator without causing any harm to my plants?

i have one and it is the bomb. def kills all the smell out, 5500 cu foot to be exact. will easily take the smell out of a 20 x 20 x 8 ft room

You think two of these would work for a 40' x 50' x 20' foot space. It is a 2000 square foot area with a 20 foot ceiling. What do you think would work?

ok i read almost all 22 pages of this thread.

ive spent almost an entire 12 hours straight reading about ozone and i cannot get a straight answer. so many of the dudes on this thread say that ozone is sooooo very dangerous and that it kills the plants and should only be used in areas wwhere no one is living.

I called my hydro store (obviously they want to sell products) but the guy i talked to said he has an ozone generator in his house and it does a great job eliminating smells and has very mininmal health risks, he also said the plants are fine with it. ( granted he aint talkin bout cannibus but still)

My thoughts on this are that i can get one of these ozone generators, and run it right outside my flowering stealth box exhaust fan on a timer to kill the odor. safe plan?!?!

panhead, ive been reading your posts about ozone and im doing an apartment stealth grow so noise level and smell cover up is a must.

im only doing one plant at a time so getting an inline fan with carbon scrubber is just a waste and there so loud.

ozone seems like the best choice for me and it sounds easy! im just deciding on which model to get, my budget is about two hundred.

i can either get the strip one you have in your thread, or, http://hypnotichydroponics.com/uvonair3000standard.aspx

which would you recommend? any thoughts?

which one do you think would be better?

im leaning towards the one in my link but it makes me think twice about it because you dudes have actually used that other one and recommend it

Uvonair makes great duct units but their room units suck I've used them both. I would probably buy multiple ozone-1's because they are so cheap compared to the uvonair.
