how to avoid pests and disease through simple maintenanance..

[nickfury510]

I was goin to post this in the newbie section but i thought it might be of more benefit here as i know longtime experienced growers who dont employ these simple tactics for success....

after each grow......


CLEAN YOUR SPACE........

after my plants are done.....

I completly empty my grow space..

i then completly wash every inch of the inside down with iso..(in a bigger room i use a spray bottle to spray the shit out of every corner and inch..dont worry if you dont wipe it all up iso alchohol will disapate..

i then clean and maintain anything that goes back insidide said space....

time to hook it all back up....(for hydro growers i also run my system with a water and hydrogen peroxide solution to clean out the old tubes and pumps.)

now that we are all clean sanitized and ready to go we can fill the space back up...

hope this helps you guys out and ensures great harvests for seasons to come.........

its all coco, its canna coco in gh coco pots..the mass on the bottom of the pot in the second pic is a rootball that grew through the pot into a second pot that i put them in about 3-4 weeks flowering....i do have another grow going right now with soil but i do prefer the coco in an ebb and flow table.....its hard to overwater them(but not impossible)..the coco breaths so well the roots dont starve for oxygen......
