I mean… you could use vaporized hydrogen peroxide… or chlorine dioxide (Prokure makes pucks just for this purpose…) if you thought you could just fumigate it away.
Treating the water - without killing the clones, keeping things clean, cleaning the whole system not the basin. All those things might help. Switching away from the cloning style might help. -shrug-
you know how they have the table cranes in greenhouse that bring tables to you for transplanting etc then move them along? imagine the tables going through these type of boxes for ipm
not fumigate, suffocate
feed the plants what they need while you suffocate the bugs and then use tc for pathogens
cleanliness is key, but healthy plants is keyer lol
i would use h202 and lots of soap over and over to get rid of the slime/not slime but i forgot the term for that slimy stuff. bleach leaves a slimy residue as well, towels work good to clean.-the term I was thinking of is biofilm.
Mix up a batch of Hypochlorous Acid HOCl. It works better than bleach. Wash everything you can in a dishwasher. Throw away and rebuild manifold every time or every other time. Use simple tubing and mist sprayers for a few dollars.
I have 2x 128-site and 2x 16-site EZ Cloners, but they are for internal use only. Dealing in clones is a good way to get blamed for mislabeling, bugs, mold and HLVD by people that typically don’t have their own garden in check.
Thanks for all the suggestions, especially going back to basics with domes @Medicine.grower .
dump a litre of h202 into full res and let it run for 2 hours, flip the pucks let it run for another hour and then drain and wipe clean. My buddy puts all the collars into a laundry bag and throws em in washer machine on sterilize cycle- genius!
