What to do about WPM attack?

[Downhomedude]

So I started seeing WPM on a few fan leaves of my latest 3 plant crop which I quickly removed.

Now as I am close to harvest I am seeing WPM on quite a few sugar leaves going into the buds.

I am getting used to the fact that the crop is trash.

Will my entire setup (tent, fans, lights, etc) now need to be replaced?
The tent is pretty old, so I could use a new one; I am not sure however to clean the lights etc.

Help a growmie out! TIA

Na wont have to replace anything.

Just make sure to do a good wipe down after harvest. Preferable a strong sterilizer like Hypochlorous Acid (Athena Cleanse) or bleach dilution.

Including the lights? They are BLOOMSPECT Dimmable SL1000 LED Grow Lights - just wipe down the panel and let dry?

^^^^ look up bud washing … it’s a final Hail Mary for circumstances such as this.

Agree about FULL GROW AREA cleaning after chop.

The CERVANTES Method! I saw this! Health-wise, is there any danger from residual spores remaining on the buds for smoke?

Do you use soil and do your plants sit on a cement floor?

 

[PadawanWarrior]

Get better airflow in there for next time too.

No! But I do have them sitting on bricks in a deep drain tray so they are not sitting in water.

I plan to put up a 4" 195cpm fan with filter next grow. I've been lacking on the airflow, but as I said until now I've had relatively little issues except the occasional critter. I think the late season rain and cold evenings got me. Hopefully with the increased airflow and better maintenance thru the grow cycle this won't continue to be an issue.

Get a hygrometer so you know the RH.

If its just on the leaf 100% gone, If its in the bud not so sure you didnt post a pic so hard to say, I have seen wpm on plants when harvested test clean after washing.
