I happen to be an amateur mycologist, aka a mushroom grower, so I'm quite familiar with all manner of fungi over my years of experience with the hobby. Also I have used peroxide as both an additive to spawn medium as well as a treatment for some contams, but I've never used it to fog a room...

Thanks Med, but whoa, that commercial fogger am not cheap at around $4k, lol. I just have a room in my basement, although to do a thorough job I'd like to fumigate the whole basement. My 35% peroxide arrived so I'm going to dilute it with tap water to about 8% and then use a couple of...

That makes sense, although it is weird and maybe hard for some to believe, there are some things, especially fungi, that could jump the animal plant divide. The article does say that it may be opportunistic, needing an injury or other entry point to be able to get started, but as much as we...

I'm not going to argue with you Kingrow1, because it's becoming increasingly obvious that you aren't actually reading, or at least comprehending, what I've written. I SAID it's not Fusarium that I'm dealing with, and I would remind you that YOU don't know everything there is to know on the...

Well if you read the article it states that while not common, they may be an opportunistic pathogen which enters via an existing injury. Among the causal agents of non-dermatophytic onychomycosis, a number of Fusarium species viz., F. solani, F. oxysporum, F. proliferatum and F. moniliforme...

I don't think it's Fusarium that's causing the blight disease, I think it's possibly a species of Botrytis, same or related to what causes bud rot, although I'm leaning towards it being a different one because, while not proof, I've rarely had bud rot issues, even when the blight returns in the...

Btw, that article linked to the study of a type of Fusarium that causes nail fungus is scary - to think the same pathogen can spread from human to cannabis is just plain bad news. http://www.ijdvl.com/article.asp?issn=0378-6323;year=2012;volume=78;issue=2;spage=229;epage=229;aulast=Jandial

Yes I started them in the dome because it is extremely dry due to very cold temps, like low 20%, and because I'm having to keep overall room humidity lower than ideal due to a current issue with some fungal pathogens, I'm avoiding using a humidifier. They also stretched a lot because I didn't...

Has anyone had experience fogging a grow room (between grows) with Hydrogen Peroxide in high concentrations? Read that some hospitals are using this technique due to H2o2's ability to kill a wide range of bacteria and fungi including spores due to the oxidizing affect. I'm considering fogging...

I agree that some are being incredibly naive if they think that "just controlling the environment" is the cure-all. There are INDEED pathogens that are extremely tough to get rid of, although I have to admit I've never heard of anything on the scale encountered by the OP (unless it's a regional...

Yeah, that is painfully funny, but reminded me of a time, many years ago, when I had to flush a bunch of seedlings because a nosy landlord saw them sitting on my kitchen windowsill and threatened to call the cops. I moved shortly after that, but not after getting revenge - one night, a few...

One more question Med, what do you use to fog with? I was thinking of using two humidifiers and a couple of fans to try and spread it around, maybe run them for an hour, maybe two even. But I know you can buy fogger equipment (not cheap) but also saw you might be able to rent such equipment...

Well I'd have to differ with you a little in that moderate humidity and heat are good for cannabis and also unfortunately good for some types of fungus. Whether it's Botrytis cinerea which causes bud rot, another form of Botrytis that causes leaf blight, Septoria lycopersici which causes leaf...

Yeah, back when I ran straight hydro, I couldn't control the temp of the rez well enough and got root rot, and I just poured several bottles of the 3% peroxide you can get at Wally World, and that eventually cleared it up (don't remember the ratio to tank water, but H2o2 is VERY effective...

That is great news Med123, and I was thinking the same thing, that while dilute H2o2 can be healthy for plants, too high might oxidize/burn the leaves/flowers. So I'm planning to do the entire grow area before the next crop. So in the article it says about 8% concentration, is that on par with...

I concur, I've had great luck with OES, fast replacements for bad beans, and though I believe he's a one-man operation, he tries to stay on top of the biz, maybe not always successful in getting back to your emails, but that's the only negative, if you can even call it that. I do agree that I...

DUDE, did you happen to notice that this post is over SEVEN YEARS OLD? I don't believe any of the info can be regarded as accurate, in fact a LOT of seed banks aren't taking CC at this time because of the crooks running the banks don't seem to appreciate others breaking the law (unless they can...

At first I thought you were talking about the smart water meters which my county installed earlier last year and because the old one was in my basement (where my grow room happens to be) they did indeed have to come in my house. THANKFULLY, they gave everyone about 60 days notice which gave me...

Sometimes when you move a plant (especially far away) they get home sick and act all weird - cannabis plants are a lot like cats that way, except of course that you can't smoke them... well you could, I suppose but I think that's against the law in most countries, and besides it makes PETA...

Got another email this morning saying my gear is now in the mail with tracking number too, so now let's see how long this takes from the UK to my door ;?)
