Just done the most satisfying part of setting up a new grow...

Scrubbing the pots, drip trays and cleaning the tent. Probably one of the most important too.

I vacuum the tent and spray it with an anti bac/anti mould solution. The pots are done in hot water and dish soap.

I have a batch of Autos to sprout on Monday.

Good grow hygiene is really important!

I hear you. I pull out my tent 'tray' and give it an 'anti' whatever wipe-down, spray and all that. Do the same with the tent itself and any gear in it.

My saucers get cleaned weekly (I've done a few runs of smaller autos so I can pull 'em out of the tent when I feed/water, and I clean the saucers as I go, so that if I need to check my runoff it's somewhat accurate rather than just hydrating the salts built up on the plastic.

I luckily don't get much dust/dirt buildup in the tent since I have any intake filtered with MERV 13 fabric and we don't have any pets, etc. in the house.

This weekend for me is:
Saturday: Chop and hang

Sunday: prep soil medium & starter pots for a couple photos & drop seeds; do the same for our summer tomato plants, which will share the tent while seedlings.

I start all my seedlings in a big 'tupperware' storage container that has a layer of styro at the bottom and is papered with white for reflectivity. Heat mats go in, low wattage LEDs go over top, etc. I dry in tent, so once the hanging is done, all the plants will move into the tent. I also have 5 different hot pepper plants that are seedlings and are part of the party.

GL Speedwell!

I just reset my flowering tents the other day, and finished up today by cleaning trays, my res and a bunch of Floraflex rockwool toppers. I also remembered to let my Blumats soak so that I can clean them up before I sell them. A clean grow makes you want to keep it that way.

Hiring a good crew for the season.....that is the most satisfying for me



Supervision is my strength.....

You're hired....when can you start?

I clean as I go but never clean my pots and those disposable antibac wipes save a lot of time. Apart from the mesh port dust ive very little to do luckily.

I buy new stuff just to save cleaning, I'm so lazy but the overheads are so small compared to my profits.

Throw away generation lol

Cleaning sucks. All my pots get bleached anything bleach-able gets bleached. Fans disassembled and cleaned the whole tent gets a spray down and uv sterilizer lamp. Pre filters cleaned and straps washed .... The whole 9

From the look of things, I'd have to move a good distance...Here right now we have snow that you can measure in feet instead of inches.

Though I did work at an ornamental garden on the horticultural side of things at one point in my past.

So basically you grew yesterday.
