I was wondering if any members here Run ozone in their grow room/tents during a grow as a preventative sterilant . Any recommendations on a ozone generator for a 10x12

You can have ozone in there as a sterilization to the room, but you can have NOTHING growing, and you can’t be in there either.
Ozone is toxic to everything.

Okay I’ll rephrase, it’s toxic to humans. Not plants.
But it can’t be in the same space as you live in. So green house, shed, different building etc.
sulfur burner to keep mold at bay would be a good investment.

This article is meant to help when you already have mold as a measure to hopefully avoid complete loss.
@Covertgrower you had it right the first time, it’s fine as a sterilization idea after cleaning your area post grow but ozone kills organic material.
“Even low concentrations of ozone in air are very destructive to organic materials” - Wikipedia
Now I know Wikipedia is not the greatest reference but any google search or reading of a ozone machine warning label should tell you this.
It damages respiratory cells first and foremost in animal and plants!
I’ve used one of these machines in my house a couple times in the summer and in my travel trailer and they are crazy, in a good way and a dangerous way.
@Covertgrower Intresting suggestion on the sulphur burner never heard of that but that being said I know LED’s have issues with sulphur and thus why Samsung built the LM301H chip for horticulture applications over the LM301B chip

We used to run an ozone maker for 30-45 minutes about twice a week in my old grow room, and I never noticed any problems to the plants. We would just make sure and stay out of the grow area for an hour or two after we ran it. I don’t know any more than that about them, but I have been trying to figure out if it is worth buying one of not. If any one has any more info I would love to hear about it. Thanks
