I never brought a clone into my room. my tractor and mower and rototiller and tons of soil sit on a dirt floor right outside of my grow room. I cut my grass and pull in and park. my dog visits me often. my chickens love to roll and bathe in my new dirt if its left out.
my cat owns the building, but never entered my grow rooms. I have no hepa filters in play. I do not use outside air but often leave the grow room door open while working in the building. I travel to and from with fresh and used dirt most days, and cut five acres weekly.
I'm always in the outdoor garden too, and admit I do mj chores first. I dont wear special clothing or gloves, or change my shoes.
My plants are on the dirt floor while being transferred all the time. I've seen mites once in my life here on a plant brought home form meijer's. I studied them under the 1600x digi microscope, I put them in a bag, sucked the air out and replaced it with c02. they all died pretty quickly. they didnt come back to life.
I never had mites in my rooms, I believe I know how they get in yours.
I know how I'd eradicate them too, organically, if I ever brought in a clone
accidentally
