First of all, Happy New Year, peeps, long time no see!
Second, the good news. We're resettled in our new place and I'm never moving again
Finally, the bad news. Yesterday morning I noticed some little round splotches on the walls of my grow tent and the same white splotches on the leaves of my veg tent plants After a little reading I realized I had a classic case of powdery mildew . Although it didn't look like it was also in my flower tent sitting next to it, my one plant in the flower tent turned out to be a male. Needless to say, I won't be wasting any money on lottery tickets for awhile :doh:
I just finished bagging everything up and tying a tight knot in the trash bag and wiping both tents down with bleach and water. Get ready, this is where you guys and girls come in :headbang2:
What are the chances wiping the tents down with strong bleach solution is enough to restart a new grow? What else do you recommend? A little about my setup. I'm growing in two side by side 2'x2'x5' grow tents in the garage (they're really cool). I just intake garage air and exhaust it through a dryer vent to the outside. A word about temps - it's been and still is summer here in SW US, 86 degree highs every day. My garage is vented (for flood) so there is plenty of fresh air entering the garage. Those who know me also know I grew in a similar setup for years in roughly the same geographical area with no trouble. Let the games begin and happy to see you all!
