Hi Guys

I have recently had an invasion of what I am 99% sure is thrips, I had them last grow but thought I managed to get rid of them, I know the cause as the last couple of grows I have had a lot on in life and have been slacking keeping my GR tidy. Last time I tried Plant Vitality Plus and a py spray greens do, I seriously recommended hasmating up when spraying that stuff not nice, I dont have the cash to buy a pot of PV+ again as it wasnt completely successful anyway and is bloody expensive, im looking at getting some harkins but due to work commitments I wont be able to get it for 7 days unless I can get it from a shop rather than online. Greens recommended that to slow them down until a more permanent solution can be used that I should completely clean my grow area with bleach and then dip the entire plant (there less than 8 inchs at the moment) in a solution made up from what I have left of the Py concentrate.

My problem is that the base of my grow room and above the lights i dont have mylar just osb waterproof board and a chipwood floor (not my wisest decision). Has anyone bleached either of these materials as I am unsure if my GR will stink for the next 3 months of bleach?

I dont ever use bleach as a standalone product so would I need to use it neat if not what concentration is best?

How long should I leave the plants out of the growroom as I would assume the fumes of bleach arent going to do my plants any good?

Is it also safe to dry the room quicker by turning the lights on or is there a reason I shouldnt do this?

Thanks in advance for any help
