Cleaning grow tent of pm spores

so im about to harvest I've been keeping the PM under control. Anyways I want to make sure the PM does not return on my next run. What is the best way to completely get rid of every pm spore in my grow tent. The guy at my hydro shop recommended something called a trinity bomb(never heard of it)? What's the best way to completely disinfect my tent??

First off I would burn any plant/clone/seedling you have going towards your next run. Buy some phyzan and spray everything that would or could ever come into contact with your growing area. Walls...scissors...your dog...(actually just for real don't spray your dog, but don't let your dog in your grow.). Spray everything and spray it on thick. Consider if you are using any sort of outside air intake. That can bring the fungus. Dont mow your lawn and roll into the grow with same clothes on. I have had powdery mildew and its really a matter of getting your humidity to proper levels, with the grow temperature, and not having your plants buttfucking eachother over space and light. All questions about plant conditions should be followed with what you are growing with. Ok ur growing in a tent, what kind of a tent? Like a camping tent. LOL JKJK, are you in a house?a shed? What kind of lights?How many plants?whats ur tent size. Whats ur humidity. Whats ur room temp?How often are you watering? What is your nut regiment?what are you using as a grow medium if any?if so what size pots are you growing in? What size are your plants?are you in flower or veg?I can continue but I think you get my point

If you have a carbon filter I'd toss it out . Than use a oxidizing agent like bleach , hydrogen peroxide. Or a can or two of Lysol air disinfectant. Make sure zipper back of fans

lysol, bleach water...both are fine.
you get spores because you maintain a space that is conducive to mold growing, bot because of old spores in the space. Spores are everywhere, all the time. your job is to clean your space, even soap kills spores, and then control your temperatures and humidity, then mold wont flourish. A dehumidifier and an air conditioner is what you need to stop this from occurring.

One thing I noticed - I run 4 different strains in the same object (at the moment the dehumidifier wasn't working and RH was around 60-80%):
One (1) had a lot of PM - deep in bud PM (probably the first that spawned a breeding ground for the rest)
One (2) had none PM (same system they are actually brushing one on another)
Few meters apart .. one (3) had none but after some time it started to get some but still very little (probably correlation to concentration)
And last(4)... it was introduces as last strain - it had much more than (3) in a same system...but still less than (1)

So from my experience, as always, genetics is everything

You can bake the filter in the oven.


Burn some sulpher.

If you want to use bleach or lysol ur probably fine in a tent. I would never recommend using either to clean your grow. You can either be lazy and have suffer the consequences, or shell out the cash and do it right. I mop the floor with bleach water...Im not spraying bleach on the tools I use or anything that is going to come into contact with my plants. You gonna bleach something thats gonna touch your roots? Just sayin...You know why Physan is so expensive??? Probably not because bleach is better for your grow. bleach lingers is what I meant. It is specifically a fungicide. To be sprayed on your plants. Don't spray bleach on your plants. And if you didn't know, you need to spray the physan off of your plants afterwards and obviously do this with your lights off, before anyone say's it doesn't work
