Entering the growroom/box...

Is it true that you have to clean yourself almost to the point of taking a shower just to look inside your grow? Is it that easy for plants to attract mites,pests,diseases and all that mumble jumble? Say for my tiny 1 square foot grow?

[Shallow Hal]

no u'll find id u just shower in bleach should be enuff.

[JEFFAR420]

huh?

Just take a dip in carbolic acid and ware a big sterilized suit with an oxygen tank for you to breath. You might look like an astronaut, but your plants will be safe. LOL
No, just make sure that you haven't been around a bunch of other plants that you don't no anything about, or pets with tics and fleas. If you smoke always wash hands before touching plants or they can contract the Mosaic tobacco virus.

huh?

What he's saying is that yes, you are very much correct. Plants have to be kept air tight, and you must not allow even the tiniest amount of dust in your growroom or your plants will morph into 80' robots and all of human kind will be destroyed.

Keeping your tools (blades, clippers, containers etc) very very clean is a must. You also need to make sure your hands are clean like someone mentioned, and make sure that the walls, floors, and all things coming in contact with the plants were properly sterlized before you even started growing. Starting with a fresh clean room is a must for all new crops.

Some people with large post numbers have a bunch of BS post's, but you'll start to find out who can really help and who is full of it. And don't mind all the joking, we all get board, and stoned, so we just verbally ruff house around hear. Besides I loved the post about your plants turning into robots. LOL

some people go to exteems of sterility!
some times it is needed, if you are running aeroponics for example any little bug can screw things up big time!
i have a very strict regime of cleanliness due to the room being under ground and outside!, i have a double door entrance where one door has to close b4 the other can be opened, this stops light escaping and provides a midway area, this area has fly traps, sticky strips, etc within, i also change my shoes there!, as i have walked in from out side i change my shoes, but dont don an overall! or go in naked! evertime i step into the room i stand in a tray of disinfectant soaked sponge, and then to the room, where evrything is behind more doors!
, i keep the room temp to 18 degrees , which is too cold for most flying bugs to thrive, and makes them much easier to control1 although saying that i rarely have bugs in the main room!, i have in the past had problems with slugs livung IN the grow rocks, i now have this beat thanks to the cleanliness programme!
i guess you never can go too far if the crop is valueble to you!
last thing, evertime i leave the room . the floor is swept rubbish removed and floor moped with pure bleach!
go for it! do it right!

welcome to the world of endless possibilities,,,,,hydroponics!
