Decided im gonna try something new in the new tub setup in a Bloom room.

Basically its a clone - Bloom setup, BUT instead of the hassle with temp at 68 - 70, im gonna let it be warm (75 - 80). I do know that that will invite ALOT of germs fungus and other shit into the system. SO, to prevent this to happend, im gonna connect a Ozone generator (10g /h massive beast) to my venturi injector and via a timer add O3 into the system. The bi product of O3, is pure O2 - and the ladies would love that.

I got a lot of good experience w O3 in my "other" legal work, so i know it works. I think this will prevent problems w the roots. What you think, doable?

I don't know if its doable or not but that is a lot of ozone (do you have a way to measure how much is in the water? ), not sure what it will do the roots. I have seen people running fish pond uv filters to try to combat pythium but they only treat the water flowing through them and not anything that is actually attached to the roots so i'll definately be watching this with interest :) ( i actually have a spare 10g /h ozone generator right next to me as i'm typing this lol )

Spider Mites love heat and moisture. Just a heads up. Of course I don't think they swim well either.

Hi red. Ye it's way to much. 03 is a very very aggressive gas. To much and it will affect the roots for sure.

Not gonna max it. Going to start 1 h each day. Divided 2 x 30 min / 12 h interval. BUT the big product of o2 and zero germs in so tempting have to try it. Especially when (like u) I got the gear

Hi ykind. Well the overall temp in the room will be the same. Same vent system that fix that. It's just the water temp that will be slightly higher, about 15 f or so.

I would start with 2 x 15 mins per day and watch those plants and roots real good, if you get no signs of stress or damage then you can up it slightly a bit at a time if its needed.
I so wish i had the space to try all this stuff out but its just not possible for me so i have to grow in a small cupboard :(
