    I honestly can’t remember the last time I actually wiped down
    my tent. After each grow I clean my reservoir and dust the fans off but see no need to wipe the tent walls down. Unless you had a bug problem I see no need. Even then, I’d throw everything away and start with brand new equipment just to be safe. I used to wash my fabric pots after each grow but I don’t even do that anymore. If you keep a clean and tidy house without exposing your grow to the outside world bugs wont be an issue

    Thanks for the responses! I hate saying this because I feel like I'm jinxing myself, but I haven't had issues with pests just yet. I'm mainly looking to be preemptive in avoiding situations that invite potential pest problems. I'll definitely be buying some peroxide asap as I already have isopropyl alcohol for all the tools.

    3% for cleaning, 5mL of 3% will sterilize a gallon of water. That's what I add to the rain water for the humidifiers.

    A 50/50 mix of vinegar and alcohol will kill mites. I've used it in the dog and cat ears, 24 hr results. Not fun using it on the cats.

    I pretty much clean everything in my space with a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water mixture.

    Just the 3% version? Or a stronger solution?

    Perpetual Growing & Cleaning

    I am almost in a situation where I have a perpetual grow setup (two flower tents, two vegging/clone/seedling areas). I was hoping someone that has a perpetual grow, one in-one out constant flowering, could answer a simple question, what do you use to wipe down the tents? Keeping the floors clean of debris is easy enough with a hand vacuum, but normally people suggest a bleach mixture for wiping down the walls, floors, and equipment, of which is followed by allowing the area to dry out before adding plants. Since plants are on a constant rotation, I need something that I can use to wipe down the tents while still allowing plants in said tents, and that won't negatively affect the plants. Any suggestions are appreciated.
