I usually do same but after I shop vac and before I h202 everything I straight up spray clorox and wash it all down then rinse with clean water, then the h202 then wipe again. dont know if its overkill but it makes me feel better.
Do you take your lights out?
in my closet I have to take the middle fixture out so I can get at everything. tents not so much. but every couple rounds I decide to switch up something anyway so I usually tear it all down and start fresh at least twice a year.
I hand wash my cloth pots and then hang dry them outside. After they're dry the rest of the roots and shit come off a little easier. Def not the easiest to clean but I like them. This next run I am trying a cloth raised bed by Grassroots.
What type of detergent do you use?
It's super simple, just pvc and a cloth piece. Look it up, I bet itd fit.
I just rinse them really good and then soak them in some peroxide and warm water then I hang them. I havent actually reused any yet haha. I have a bunch, they're so cheap.
I clean mine by putting them in the trash.
As my grow is in a loft I would worry about the sheer weight of it on the ceiling beams. Also, I am in the UK and weed isn't legal here. I have never had any problems with the Police, but I have had a close call. My young daughter was playing in the street and some older kids starting causing trouble. A pair of these older kids forced my daughter and her friend to fight so they could film it and post it on YouTube. When I found out I went to calmly discuss it with their parents. I got a ton of abuse from their parents. I had no choice but to involve the local Police, it was the only way I could get the videos taken down. The last word these kid's Father said to me were "If you phone the Police I will tell them about the contents of your loft." To this day I will never know how that guy found out about my grow as the only other person on the planet that knew was my wife. So I had to pull it all out. It took hours. I took a few years off growing after that scare. I started again in April. Now my loft is setup so it can be gone in 15 minutes. So my other concern would be getting all of that wet soil back out.
I get what you are saying. They are £10.99 for 6 over here, that would be £22 every 8 weeks or so. That would be nearly £150 a year, aside from electrical costs, that would double my costs per year. Plus, it isn't very environmentally friendly.I clean mine by putting them in the trash.
For less than $3 a piece they get their money worth for about 4 months of use.
Depends what lights. If they are leds with leds exposed I would take em out
Totally agree. If you've had a mold problem and you don't clean like a maniac, you will have it again. Even if you do clean really well, there are probably still some spores floating around, so you should preemptively treat your next crop with biological fungicides from day 1.
