Pre-grow maintenance

Post by Grumpy Toad »

I'm a week from harvest and this time I am able to go right into another grow. Yay! So right now I'm making a list (it's what I do) of all the things I need to do in preparation of a new run. One thing I do is lubricate the entire length of the zipper on my tent with paraffin or a candle. So far, knock on wood, I've never had a malfunction of the zippers.

Curious if anyone else does similar. Or do you have other little things you do as preventative maintenance?

I always spray down the walls and floor with a mild bleach solution and give the LED a wipe over. Of course all my equipment is washed in-between grows. I also have a quick inspection of all the cables etc for damage

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Yes, I do the same. Like to start with a clean slate.

I run a hoover around the place and give it a bit of a dust.
