sup everyone. so yet again my fucking crop is seeded due to the leftover jizz on the walls from a hermed batch a long time ago. my question to the great gods of the internet is how the fuck do you sterilize a tent after a bunch of bananas have fucked the room inside out? i have bleached the FUCK out of the walls after every harvest and STILL i get little bastard seed pods. do i need a new tent? i feel like fucking killing myself every 2 months because the same fucking thing keeps happening. any help is always appreciated. FML

bump. everything ive read says bleach, but that didnt work. dutch reverse didnt stop the herms, no light leaks, temps no higher than 75. what. the. fuck.

A stressful environment can turn them into hermaphrodites.
Like dynamically raising or lowering temps Bouncing the photoperiod around.
Good luck

What about cleaning the light fixture and fans or ducts?

I was thinking that too... there may be pollen on your fan blades and in the ducts.

I heard Lysol will kill the pollen

Click to expand...

If this is right, I would say blast some aerosol lysol into the interior with the fans all on... let it "land" in all the places that debris is naturally forced when the system is on. This should blast all the parts of your blower and fan and ducts that would have pollen on them, in theory.
