Been there! Check how the place you source your soil from stores it. Some leave it outdoors on pallets. Critter magnets... grow room rituals. Clean or change before entering, and no one else allowed. Don't visit other growers grows. Don't bring new clones in without a quarantine period.

The list goes on... my major battle stretched almost a year of constant fighting... turned out it was the friend of the 19 yr Olds that would come by.... he had an infected garden, and would reinfect mine every few weeks.

I'm generally a pretty nice guy, but I'm an asshole when it comes to my indoor grows. Fighting pests sucks.
