im a first time grower i just went and got my clones from the club and decided to grow GDP and Blue Dream!

i have heard bad stories of Mites infesting and ruining peoples crops! What can i do to help keep my plants from getting mites? If i do get them what can i do to get rid of them? is there anything that will 100% prevent them or if i get them kill them and guarantee they dont return??

I am growing in a closet and before i started hanging the light and the mylar and basically assembling my room i vaccumed the carpet as best i could and i bleached all the walls of my room from floor to ceiling, i have done this again now that my room is all assembled and ready, as well as wiping down all the equipment in the room w disnfecting bleach wipes. i have plastic sheeting covering the carpet and it extends approx. 6" up the wall and i have i duct taped up to seal it off as best i can..any other suggestions for steps to take to prevent a mite infestation?? also i have a ventilation sytem with a duct fan sucking air from outside into my grow room, but it has no kind of air filter on it, will this up my chances of mites??

2ND Question:

i live in the 209 (the valley) where outside temps get into the 100's. how will this affect the temp of my grow room, and if it is gonna be an issue for me, what are some cost efficient ways for me o keep down the temp in my grow room??
