With you on that one, Chief. Have had to chop a grow myself not too long ago. You can definitely use H2O2 as a cleaning agent 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) While i have your attention, PM has spores right, so does this mean i have to disassemble my fans and clean EVERYWHERE?

CreX Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 do yourself a favour and stock up on some IPM products if you can. Get an anti fungal agent - copper soap, Sulphur burner, neem too a little, AQSG Get an anti bacterial - H202 is great for spraying plants, unscented bleach is good for general disinfectant of your tent and tools (Sodium hypochlorite) Get an insectacide - Margret has a whole bunch that are pretty potent, Neem, Pyrol all work like a dream and then, also get a wetting agent, as well as a foliar feed of your choice, kelpak is good, and have had good experience with Trellmix all that could easily set you back over a grand, and there are many other products i did not mention, but i would start with the copper soap and pyrol, and a wetting agent. tis the season for PM with all this humidity and rain we are having. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I agree with @CreX Coppersoap is great for PM but should not be used when the plants are in flower - you can then make use of Sulphur (not burning, but get one which you can spray). Wetting agent is always useful too. Pyrol is great for pests and I see you already have that. Hydrogen Peroxide and/or bleach (jik, or whatever) to clean and sterilize the tent and equipment. It would be best to clean the fans and everything but in reality it's going to be near impossible to do a thorough clean and get everywhere. You can also consider a disinfectant fogger, have all equipment on and running (so the fan moves) and set off the fogger inside the tent. Keep in mind the PM spores have likely been pushed to the outside of the tent via your extraction fan. So perhaps set it off in the room which contains your tent and ensure a good portion gets inside the tent too. This might be easier than using a cloth with bleach or H2O2. How well it works in comparison, I am not actually sure... but in my mind it makes sense that it would work well. lol Pitty you have chucked the plants already, I was going to suggest coppersoap and/or some sulphur - should get rid of the PM and possibly even those weird spots you had. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG420za Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 I haven't tossed the plants yet @PsyCLown, my mate says he'll take a chance trying to mend them. He's hellbent on saving the genetics, coz they are good ones to keep. I'm doing a proper clean over the weekend. Full tear down of everything. I have one of those hand pump sprayers, so i was checking i could mist the entire tent then zip up and hold the mister at the intake vent with the fans on to get the H202 everywhere. Wipe down and repeat. Just worried about the H202 potentially eating on my LED's. I could remove the lights and spray that down with ISO... Also, my tent vents directly out of a window, so the room should be safe... Would bleach kill the spores? I know H202 will. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Bleach will kill the spores. May be a better idea to wipe down the LEDs yourself then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Smith Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi guys. I've not worked with wetting agents before. Would I be correct in assuming they are useful for when trying to keep your medium as dry as possible, yet still offering the plants maximum hydration? So, would a wetting agent also work well for watering while having fungus gnats, as another example? Or should one be using a wetting agent throughout the grow? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wetting agent is something you mix with a solution which will be sprayed onto the plants. So something you'd typically mix with pyrol for instance, the wetting agent helps spread the solution when its sprayed on the plant and prevents it from forming drops and rolling off the plant. It helps it to stick to the plant basically. It helps spread the liquid and prevents it from forming droplets and rolling off. If you have ever used a product like Wynn's C-Thru on your your windshield, it might make more sense. After using C-thru any water will form a drop and run off the windshield easily. This is the opposite effect you want when spraying your plants with some sort of foliar spray, so a spreading agent / wetting agent helps prevent this from occuring.

Teal Smith Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Cheers bud. So is there any application for a wetting agent to go inside grow medium at all? Or strictly for foliar spraying? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or strictly for foliar spraying? None that I can think of. It's for foliar spraying. A wetting agent prevents this (see the water droplets and how that will prevent the solution from staying on the leaves): It will help the solution spread more like this and coat the leaf / plant better: 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGG Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi, what will work as a wetting agent? I have read that dishwashing soap can be used, Pro Bac seems to be save, any suggestions will be appreciated Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyCLown Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 @GGG Efekto G49 and SK Eco Oil are both decent options. There are a few other options too. Builders and nurseries should stock them, the bottle will tell you how much to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psylecta Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Whatever it is should be included in this PDF (Kudos to the member on the Cpt clone group for sharing this) Its exceptionally detailed with regards to pests & fungus/molds/mildews etc looks like rust spot/rust fungus - its commonly brown but can be yellow too What's_Wrong_with_My_Marijuana_Plant_(1).pdf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
