Ozone and plants a Theory

Ok here goes, I am wondering what effect intermittent large amounts ozone will have on a plant? My theory is that dumping a huge amount of ozone into a flowering room for say 20 minutes maybe once a day will cause an immune response. I am looking at plant stressing and different ways to get a consistent result. I have done some research on line and I have seen results that talk about plant damage and reduced yields I do believe though these studies were done with constant ozone. Anybody got some knowledge on the topic?

I can personally confirm Too much ozone will damage your plants, I have experienced this from leaving one on for too long.
I would suspect with high doses of ozone damaging the leaves this would reduce photosynthesis so i don't think that type of stress would be good.
Ozone is best used in large doses to sterilise or small doses to combat mould in the grow room

I could see the Ozone latching onto the trichomes and "cleanses" them

I use Ozone on occasion and have fears of its interaction during the bud stage , we know it will kill the smell of the plant and that comes from its its terpenes so it can't be good for it.

Be careful with it , its rather potent especially coming from those commercial units

I have 3 models kicking around including the model with a black tube with a fan on its back. Its powerful as sheet and should be used for direct venting only.

Ive burnt my throat and sinuses in the past by breathing a little too much ozone

Don't
It won't

Small increase's in negative ions for brief periods would be like the room having been through a lightning storm.....Lighting creates negative ions. So do waves at the beach....

Avoid 03, it is dangerous at high levels, if you want an 'immune response' then either get a SAR product such as Harpin Protein or more expensive Chitisan works too.

I used Ozone to rid a cab grow of mites. It also rid the plant of all its leaves lol. Seriously, all the leaves fell off before anything new even decided to grow.

It's not natural for O3 to be so low in our atmosphere, to eliminate the smell get the 4L Ona gel,and it is 100% safe.

I use an ozone generator for one purpose to sterilize my grow cabinet with pots trays inside it after every grow. Would not use it with plants in the cab.

Yeah had same problems hence in coco now. Have my chiller only used about 4 weeks before giving up. Chiller and ozone seems the better solution without using chemicals. Have booked marked the aqua 6 for later on, im in uk so may be a different model but easy to find. Cheers.
