new grow

[tunacan]

I remember you discussed this topic but I could use a refresher on cleaning the tent between grows.
Also do you change the carbon filter regularly? thank you for your comments!

I just vacuum any loose debris from my tent, then get the next grow going. I've also had the same carbon filter going for a couple of years, and it still works well, no smell escapes my tent unless I leave it open for a bit.

thanks for response!

Anyone have a checklist of tent cleaning tasks and cleaning supplies? I had powdery Mildew last grow and want to start as fresh as possible.

I don't have a checklist. Between grows I switch out the carbon filter's pre-filter and vacuum the tent,. If necessary I wipe down the walls, fans, filter, and lights. I use a 1 part water and 10 part hydrogen peroxide solution. I don't use vinegar or bleach inside the tent because I don't like the smell. I do use vinegar to clean water deposits off of hardware and to clean the salts from the cloth pots. I soak the cloth pots for however long it takes for the salts to dissolve and then run them through the washing machine a couple of times. I have not had any issues doing these things.

Perfect. Thanks!

What ratio of vinegar to water for pot cleaning golfnrl ? I need to do that

 

[golfnrl]

I use the 30% strength vinegar at about 6-7 parts water to 1 part vinegar. Might go 5 to 1 if the salt and mineral buildup is bad.

Great thx
I knew you put them in the washing machine but when I was between grows and needed to clean my pots they were too dirty to go straight in my washer, so now I know the pre wash with vinegar is the trick
