I'm about to clean my veg room with bleach now I have about 30+ plants in there and was curious if I could take them out maybe even for an hour till I clean the room and put them back in.

also has anyone heard of orange agent? I know it's a spray but can I apply that with bleach to use on the floor and walls?


Thanks.

Muff.

yes, you don't want to leave them in there. No, on the orange agent.

I take my plants out all of the time to clean,while they are in Veg light is no biggy.I wouldn't risk mixing anything with bleach unless you know the exact ingrediants,especially something with the words Agent and Orange in the title..lol

Was the purpose of the Agent Orange as a soapy kind of dirt cleaner?

If you mean Agent Orange, yes, I've heard about it. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange
If it is the same thing you are meaning, I would be cautious about using it. It's bad both for plants and your health. If it is something else, I wonder why they use that name for it. Agent Orange is really well known since the Vietnam war.

I only run a few plants - between 3 and 8 - and always take my plants out of the grow tent before I clean with chemical cleaners. I suppose I'm fortunate that I can move mine to another room where I can throw CFL's at them. But as long as it doesn't go fully dark its just like a cloud going over.

switch out the bleach, both for your own sake, your plants and the environment

read N0 10 and then read this:

IMO a must have for every grower, so cheap and the closest thing to actual magic (actually physics, but it works)
