ozone generator

hi, does anyone know if an ozone generator is an effective replacement for an extractor?
cheers

i think an ozone generator is just to reduce smell aint it...???
if they are to reduce smell you will still need some sort of extraction,plants need a good air-flow(intake and out-take)

The Uvonair ones are the bollox, but they're not cheap and you still need an in line extraction fan. The advantage over a CF is they cause no restriction to the airflow and they're good for many of grows as opposed to 3 or 4 with a carbon filter. They're a proffesional piece of kit and that's reflected in the price.

Absloutly not, you need good extraction for many reasons, removing smell from the turpins, on your developing buds, more important is to remove the moisture the plants wil transpire when growing, without this you will get mould, it will allso remove the heat from you light, proper extraction is as important as water or lighting, try to think of it in this way, without proper extraction your wasting your time and effort mate.

Bom!

hi m8 first ov all there 2 types ov ozone gens, uv and corona discharge, the uvonair r uv if u get 1 ov them get the 5000 m8 the 1000 is wank imo.
im runing a mountain breeze corona discharge unit at the mo witch cost about £150 and can be used in areas up2 150m3 dose a very good job imo.
u can tune it down to 10% so your not puting to much ozone in to the air i think the most ya ment to go to is about 0.05ppm after that its not gd for u or ya plants (read all about ozone b4 u use it plz ) its also advised to turn it off wen your in the room and even run the gen on a time i do 15m's on and 30m's off az ozon only last up to 40mins max in the air the off time alowes the ozone brake down in to air and co2 yup co2 <good thing..
but i dont think id run 1 with no filter some do but id not like to + yad need it runing all the time and thats not gd 4u
ps if at any time your runing a ozone gen uv or corona discharge and you can smell it turn off or down the gen untill the smell of ozone is no more and then turn it bk on i find 15 on 30 works ok with my gen runing at just under 50%

so imo yes ozone works fact dont think id run with out a cf and if u use or plan to use it read read and read some more ozone can b bad 4u but it can b good 4u to az long az its used correctly and yes still run in/out fans to replace co2 that the plants use but if ya got co2 and air con then u can ditch the in/out fans and just run a cf on a open loop in the planted room so it just scrubs the air in the room/tent cool with aircon/edumid and top up c02 with burners or cans/bottles

I use an Ozone genny in the room. I let it pump out every hour for 30 min then shuts off for 30 min and repeat. I don't worry about it filling up the room as "my whole point" was that it just pumps Ozone into the room *half the extraction rate* and the Extraction/Air con unit sucks all the air out with Ozone so it dosn't smell as much on the way out of the house. Works for me. Would say you NEED extraction with it. Brill info from Up2nogood

And i have no CF

just watch wot ya doing if u push air out side m8 ozone smells can giv ya away to pal. i just vent the hot air from ma lamps in to the wash room dose a nice job of drying ma washing lol

Lots of open land around me so not much to worry about, I just do it for piece of mind really encase anyone would be wondering round the house. But there is no smell what so ever "ozone or bud" even when the OZ is off as it vents under the house first under the floor, so there is a kind of "holding space" for all the air to get treated before it cools and escapes.

Bit lucky really finding out i could vent into the floor, It's great
