could this faint glow be enough to switch a plant back to veg? 4 weeks into 12/12 and the plants look to be revegging. no light leaks and the timer is dead on. lower branches are showing signs also so its not the lights being too close. sulpher burners were added about a week ago and run for 1.5 hours each night. could this be the problem? thanks-

yes mon
not the glow...
you are likely breaking the circadian clock with the warming period that occurs when the fans are off and burners are running

any plantbuilder advice on prevention then? ozone or bio maybe? spores must be well established in mother/cutting and bloom areas. thanks-

what's your outside (or intake) humidity % like?

this time of year it depends on the weather. good days 40-50%, bad days 70+++. over kill on air exchange and air movement has kept things somewhat healthy.

how's your room temps, and in particular the temp of the intake?

40 is a bit on the cool side, imho the plants are more subseptible when it gets that cool, especially ones near the intake, combine the cool nights with the humidity and it makes it that much easier for the pm spores to grow, if you can afford a dehumidifier of the appropriate size and run it 24/7 that would be helpful I think, since it will heat the room abit and dry out the air... and also try and keep the plants away from the walls esp. concrete walls in my experience they do better when they're in the center of the room, and maybe a decent filter on your intake would be helpful since you are running overkill on the intake, and if you have pm on mothers take care of it...I've also had good success spraying plants with bragg's liquid aminos I think it was like 30ml per liter give or take, also for vegging plants calcium nitrate/seawater/molasses mixed into horsetail tea about 200ppm each of the CN and seawater and a bit of molasses
