Advice for clearing grow of PM spores

Hey, first grow got PM week 4 of flower. Chopped the bitch and am gonna start some blueberry feminized seeds.

Can anyone with experience with PM verify what I need to do to clear my 4x4x7 tent of spores? Is misting with Hydrogen Peroxide solution sufficient?

its really really simple. water/bleach kills spores. but you'll get them again without proper controls
a dehumidifier for starters is a must for marijuana growers that dont want to cultivate mold

I've been using a dehumidifier but it's big, has to be manually turned on, and has no external probe. I'm having a hard time finding a dehumidifier that can be used properly with a humidity controller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UWP07NI/

If anyone can recommend a dehumidifier that is "always on" so that it can be regulated by the humidity controller, that'd be awesome.

I've never had a pm issue, but have always been a big believer in moving a lot of air - both intake and exhaust AND air inside the room/tent

Home Depot has a large selection - I bought mine there. It's a GE and I run it all the time during my plants nighttime - as well as constant air movement. I set it at 45% and it maintains that humidity level.

Awesome, if you get a chance and can give me the model number of what you're using that'd be super helpful to me as reference. Thanks for the info.

This looks like what I should have gotten instead of a digital interfaced dehumidifier...damn.

I don't know the model but it's a 50 pint capacity - High, med, low fan settings - digital humidity setting - costs $179.00. I'm very happy with it.

I also grow shrooms and deal with mold issues in that room, the best thing is a bleach solution as mentioned above to kill the spores. Then use the dehumidifier. If the dehumidifier is exposed to a large amount of mold it can act as a dispersal method so it is is best to kill the spores first. I also spray the surfaces with Lysol and use a massive air filter.

Thanks for all the input.

I've spent some time on the phone with Frigidaire, Home Depot, and GE. Frigidaire is the only manufacturer I can find that makes a standing dehumidifier with analog power controls.

I found one other made by Active Air, which seems to be licensing to resellers like Hydrofarm and Summerleaves. This second one looks way worse build quality than the Frigidaire. Also, since I couldnt track down the actual manufacturer of the equipment, I couldn't call to verify that the power is indeed analog.

Hopefully this helps someone trying to set up dehumidification externally. Don't forget to use salt to calibrate your controllers, neglecting that's what fucked me in the first place.
