So I ended up with Hermies this round.

I have a custom built LED strip lighting.

I need to do a thorough clean of the tent and am gonna is bleach for all the walls, ceiling and support braces.

How do I clean the LED strips to get any possible pollen off? Don’t wanna ruin them. Should I also be fully wiping down the exhaust fan as well as washing the carbon filter cover in the washing machine or sink perhaps?

Bleach isn't needed
Water neutralizes pollen

ISO 99
I’d would hand wash the dust filter , but they stretch, so you might need tape to keep it in place n working right.
Hydro stores usually have the prefilters for sale, they’re cheap.

So I guess to wash my LED lights I could just use a damp cloth and go over each strip gently then?

Fuck really not happy this happened to me lol.

Dish detergent and water.
Or plain water and pH that sheet to 10. (Cleans brake dust and lawn mowers too.)
50/50 iso and water wash maybe for critters.
Sponges and buckets.
Take everything apart and clean like your name is Mr Clean, bald head and all.

Fuck. Cause ripping each strip off is going to be very fucking difficult and I don’t want to damage any of the strip lighting at all.

No leave the lights alone. Sorry for confusion

Sorry man I didn't read you just want light advice. Me I'd vac that with a Dyson and that brush attachment.

Thanks for the help guys. I noticed my Hermies last night I was like good god no. Wasn’t happy. Cause I’m gonna flower a new strain real soon.

I’m thinking when I rebuild I’m gonna have the filter in the tent. But have the fan outside of it. One less thing to clean in the event I get Hermies again and allow for more room near the top I guess.

I've never heard of cleaning a tent because of hermies after a grow. I'm pretty sure that the pollen does not stay active for long enough after harvest. Otherwise why the hell would I have my pollen in the fridge?
