Veg tent looks good. Going to treat with Safer brand sulfur based fungicide in a few minutes.

Going to take out the baby ass autoflower shemale before i do that though.

Well, got my pots emptied out and put the soil in a 30 gallon tote, added 1tbsp per gallon of 444 and 284 gaia green, that will sit in my shed until spring for my garden. Reasin being is wont use it inside as its just carries the risk of introducing mildew back into the tent.
I rinsed out the pots and then put them in my washer with a little bleach. Hopefully they dont end up white lol.
I wiped everything down with clorox wipes for now, will be getting some 99% alcohol this week, then ill wipe everything down with 50/50 bleach water. Then ill mix up a 50/50 alcohol water, spray everything down, wipe it clean and do it again. Am also going to take all my ratchet hangers down and soak them im straight 99% alcohol to kil any spores on the ropes. Going to take the cover off the driver and clean all the dust out of there as well. Hopefully i get it all this time. The only thing i didnt do last time was clean the cover over the drivers, didnt think it was a big deal, might not be but im not letting this happen again

i did the same thing i went waay beyond on the cleaning and thinning out of stuff, than i thought i would be doing, i just couldn’t stop even when i finished, next day back at it at something else, also wiping down the room walls and ceiling, using a wet/dry for vacuuming, (more suction power)..
that area of the house is by far the cleanest of the entire house and i’m a neat freak to the maxx..

Yeah im going to be thinning shit out too. Ive got ph up n down, fox farm trio, gh maxi grow/bloom, and calimagic ill prolly never use again, as im on well water with plenty of calcium and i use espom salt for mag. The other shit i havent touched in 3 years?

Anyone know if i can use the ph up and down in my fish tank or is it not safe for the fish?

Ive got so much shit, and i dont use a third of it so im going to be getting rid of a lot of stuff. Im also taking the 4x4 down, going down the road to dollar general and renting a carpet cleaner so i can clean the carpet in there because i feel there are spores in my carpet too... 3x3 will stay up as i can just slide that one around i just have to take the plants out. It really puzzles me that the 3x3 didnt get mildew sitting right next to the 4x4 but i always went 3x3 then to the 4x4 so maybe i never contaminated them. Just really weird they intake the same air from the same room.

I still have a week or so of stuff to do before i turn things back on. Will be doing a lot this week while my youngin naps lol

just some strains are more susceptible..
carpet??? ya better clean that or rip it out and put down tiles in the future.,
either you brought in the spores and started touching the plants or your temp or humidity must have had large swings as spores are kinda always present, they just need right conditions to activate, unhealthy plants, nitrogen rich plants.. etc

The only thing that i really have no control over is the temp at lights out csuse my house is cold. Lights on is 79-83, light out is 66-68. But i really dont think thats too big of a swing, but i could be wrong.

I use a ceramic reptile 'light' to heat my tent.
Like this with a dome; https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Delux...words=reptile+heat+lamp&qid=1675004545&sr=8-7
There is a thermostat offered in that link, but I have not used it .
I think a few others here use this type of heat when it is only a tent and seasonal.

I would not use the Ph buffers for fish tank even if they are safe.
Causing pH shifts in tanks is one of the leading causes of user caused deaths IMO.

Really? So even though my tap water is like 8.4, just send it and dont bring it down at all? This whole fish tank thing is all new i know nothing about it honestly.

Stability and consistency are more important than accuracy unless you are deep into breeding.
You should do fine with basic live bearer fish [ guppy, Molly, Platy].
Stay away from small tetras, they won't like your hard water.
