I just planted my plant and its day 1 from sprouting. My grow room is 100% stealth and is behind cuboards. and everytime i open the doors it completely smells like ozone. not saying i have a ozone problem but i just wanted to know what some of the best steps to prevent ozone burn. i only grow one plant and my space is obviously really small.
thanks

If you have something producing ozone there's a problem. Nothing in your grow room aside from an ozone generator should be producing it in high enough quantities to explain what you're experiencing. And the way you prevent ozone damage is you remove the source of the ozone.

Hmmm.. maybe i have been misinformed. i read somewhere that the lightbulbs give off ozone.. and like if you plant is in a closed area the certain smell you get when you first open up the room.. other than that i never looked up anything about ozone.. and this is my first legitamet plant so yeah im a pretty big newbie for growing..

those lights wont gro weed and all they give off is heat . 4 pk 26 watt cfls 3000k will get u thru full gro and u will c a huge differance in growth . theyre cheap $10.00 and pick up 2 y splitters 2.00$ a piece total less than $15.00

There (A15)s if that means anything other than that it doesnt say anything
dont no what those r but u could search on 1000b . i would suggest getting a 4 bulb 2ft t-5ho fixture it does not get hot and is awesome 4 small spaces i have one and love it , although i run hps with it now , it works great alone in small spaces they run bout 100-125$ u should get 4 free 6500k bulbs with it then later buy the 3000k.

I researched Halogens and i never heard one good thing about them every one said there completely a waste and they give off no good light and produce heat, and since i have a small space i dont want that.. i think im gonna stick to my CLFs and just buy another gaint CFL and maybe upgrade the other ones..
