Ozone Generators

So we all know that running a ozone generator will take away the smell of cannabis. Was thinking of running a Diesel generator inside my garage and connecting the exaust to my gas heater vent in the roof. Does anyone know if I installed a ozone generator at the end of my exaust if that would eliminate the smell of Diesel fumes???

They say these new Diesel Generators are smokeless but I'm sure it still smells like Diesel fumes when running, don't want to fill my neighborhood with Diesel fumes:)

Or if you have any other good ideas send them my way:thank you:

Wow.
I don't think so.
Ozone is bad for your and your plant's health as well but it does have it's uses.
For a long term smell solution I would run negative pressure with a carbon scrubber, not ozone.
Good luck.

If you read my post this is for Diesel Exaust fumes and will be exiting my garden all together....

I'm pretty sure Diesel fumes would plug a carbon filter fairly quickly????

Ones I'm looking at run at 60 decibels. I'll be placing it inside my garage, plus building a block wall dog house around it. Sound from the generator will not be noticed from outside the garage. Just need to do something with the fumes, doesn't even need to be completely eliminated as the generator will only run at night time....

Smart meters my friend. Once there are no more grow licenses available it will be impossible to trick a smart meter.

Therre is a thread somewhere here on smart meters an how you dont need to worry about them. What are you gonna do when ur neighborhood PD picks up a IR capable drone. How much are you running? Diesel fumes are a bigger give away then a smart meter which they dont need actually to see a spike every 12 hours. To much sativas my friend.

Not the paranoid type. I ran a 4k flower with atleast 1k in ac and accesories and a 1k in veg with a few t5 8 bulb set ups......on a smart meter.
I personally never heard of anyone using a genny trying to get rid of the smell. They are usually usually used in wharehouse grows where the smell isnt noticed as unusual.

Even if you run 1000W of power in flower, with smart meters thats enough to prove what your doing. No other household equipment comes on for 12 hours and turns off for 12 hours and does that day in and day out!!

My goal is to run a 10KW Diesel Genny running at about 1/2 load with battery backup. Wich would only be about 0.3-0.4 gallons an hour. Run the generator for 8-9 hours and let the battery's take care of the last 3 hours. Battery's will get recharged when the genny fires up next day. Small wattage items like fans and such would run off of regular electricity.

Genny and batts would be paid off after 2 grow cycles. witch would be every two months since I have a dedicated veg room. Genny and batts should easily last 3 years before switching them out for new ones. Now you have no light cycle for anyone to catch on to and a low electricity bill every month, how's the popo gunna even suspect a grow?

my meter keeps good time LOL . they can kiss my weed growing ass. i dont care either way. the old meter reader was cool and didnt care about weed,my plants . nice to not have unwanted visitors tho. bill is the same. they dont know what your turning on unless you got smart appliances i have heard. but ya cycles could be monitored along with spikes. my ac units in summer run all day long and they are high energy, my roomates space heater cause he is afraid of open flame gas is also high energy and runs prob 14 hours or so. i can name other shit too.if your running led units you prob aint got any worries unless you dumped 50k .you could hook up an excersize bike and generate electricity. peddle your ass off

And I'll be running 1000W Gavita's, that's just my user name:laughing:

Was originally thinking of going with LED lights but not willing to risk dropping $10K+ on lights and not be 100% satisfied!! once I get things up and running I'll prolly purchase one or two LED lights to to try out and do a side by side against a Gavita 1000. Same strain, same newts.

I used to have a heater plugged into a timer that ran from 10-10 and it was 1500 watts to warm my sleeping area when i lived in the sierras.
