I battled powdery mildew ( from my buddies clones) last grow so I finally through everything out . I cleaned up the tent , pulled the light and fan . ( wiped them down with peroxide and water) .so what I e done so far is this. Washed the tent completely down with water diluted bleach. Let that dry for a few hours then completely sprayed everything down with peroxide and water. Ran a ozenator for 1 hour . Respray walls ceiling and floors down with peroxide and water. The only one step I was thinking of doing was, I read someone took brew store “ metabisulfate” and mixed it with vinegar to create a sulfur bomb. ( zip tent and run away ). Think I did enuff or should I sulfur bomb 💣 it ? Thanks for any advice.

I ran into that damn WPM issue a while back. Tried isopropyl spray, milk spray, hydrogen peroxide.......killed all my plants and tore the room down too, cleaned again. Next round of flowering 3 weeks in WPM raised its ugly head again. Tossed all the plants, took out the lights, fans, air scrubber, cleaned and then installed just an exhaust fan.....ran a sulphur burner one Saturday morning when we headed out to hockey. Came home and could smell that sulphur from the road
Its been 2 cycles and NO WPM. Have also been running a UV light for 5 minutes in the dark cycle, every 3/days. 👍🏼

I don't use a tent but that's where I'd have gone with it too. Wipe everything down with a surface disinfectant and then run a UV disinfecting light in there for anything airborne.

Been reading lotsa threads about sulphur burners. Either a home made one or electric skillet cheap option. Wondering how long a 4x4 tent with the light and fans etc would need sulphur to burn in that size of tent ?
