Grow Room Maintenance Checklist: Weekly

Cleaning your grow room plays a critical role in growing your very best. Use these tips to keep your indoor growing environment healthy and productive.

Clean Equipment and Trays

Give your equipment, tools, and trays a wipe-down once every week.

Use a small cloth and a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and wipe down all of these surfaces to kill off any lingering pathogens.

Pay special attention to any tools that you might have brought in from the garden and forgotten to clean—these are potential vectors of fungal and bacterial transmission.

Sterilise Water Systems

Drain, clean, and sterilise your system with a diluted bleach solution once per week to prevent mould and algae from establishing a foothold.

Check Air Filters

Look out for any signs of wear and tear that might allow spores, bacteria, and pests to bypass your filter and enter the growing space.

Replace your filters if you detect any entry points, or when they pass their capacity (usually between 6–12 months).

Inspect Walls and Reflectors

Check behind the reflective surfaces on your tent walls. These areas can trap stagnant air and humidity, and serve as a breeding ground for mould.

If you find any funky fungi, wipe them down with hydrogen peroxide.

You can also wipe these surfaces down weekly as a preventive measure, even if you find them "clean" at the time.
