Thought I would share this with you,definitely well worth a read.I bought some clones in a few week ago,also had some mothers vegged up to around 3 ft that i was going to flower next.Ive had to ditch the disco biscuit and a jaffalatto also super lemon haze and all the sugar factory ,3 plants lovely plants all of them .I kept treating with some stuff I bought from the local hydro shop,did not work.Well it did for the first 24 hour but everytime it come back it come back worse.I have been through everything that I've have done,i work at a family nursery mainly doing fruit trees grafting but a lot of other stuff has well .We talked about it other day at work ,went through everything .Night temps cool ,but no colder than any winter air flow same has its been for 10 year never had a problem.Only ever had this once on my plants ,im ocd with everything,so constantly cleaning the rooms .I added a heater still the problem was there ,we was lost at yhis point.Then I remembered adding 6 ladybirds ,from outside about a month ago.I gathered them all together and put them on a plant ,that i was not going to use under a bag for a few hours.Took the bag off then put the ladybirds outside ,that plant was effected within 48 hour of having them on it .One of lads I work with deals with most of that side pest and mould ext at work .He said if I had told him earlier about them,he would have told me it was them.In autumn they gather to hibernate through winter,but before that they walk on all the dead leaves cleaning of any insects.The spurs must have been on there legs ,thinking about it now .It has to have been those,it can't have been anything else.Lets hope its gone now ,because it did my head in losing all those nice strains.The disco is pure fire so was that lemon haze ,sugar factory i have more seeds .But still took a lot of effort sexing them with limited space.

hope this helps

This is where I'm a newbie never had it before,if the problem was not that bad would you say it would be safe to put new clones in.We have bleached the shit out of everything took a the fans apart,bleached all tent .took all the old polly out of veg room treated it with the stuff we bought from shop. It was not that bad just the odd spot ,think I caught it in time.But like I said this is new to me so what would ya advice .
 
That is where research will lead you to your own answer. Once pm spores are out they spread and are hard to control. If you have the space perhaps different area / tent.

Pm is no joke and I would be monitoring that plant.

Thanks for reply dude appreciate it ,I cant afford to risk getting it again .So filters getting ditched and all fans.To many small areas the spurs can get into.I have bleached the full room well my wife has ,we honestly thought we had caught it early on .But looking back now ,it only started when I brought those new clones in,it was only very small areas .But I cant help think it was from clones now,ya might think I'm mad getting rid of fans .I have loads of stuff in storage that I can use ,so I just pull those out.I use most of what I grow for me and a few others for oil though not bud .I cant risk using weed with any kind of mould .So its start fresh in a few week after bleaching again tomorrow and every other day until I'm ready to get more on go .

Don't ditch all that equipment. I've said this in multiple threads now, pick up an ozone generator. It's one of the best grow room cleaning tools you can own. I bleach my rooms after harvest, then let the ozone gen do it's thing for like half an hour with a small oscillating fan next to it. There is nowhere for the spores to hide.

Tyke I just bought an AirROS, it produces H2O3 which sterilizes everything the air touches.

I'm on my second grow with it, I got it half way through the grow and I already had some mildew growing on the clone off the mother who had PM the grow before.

Check out Renfro's thread on the machine:
