Right, I didn't really think about improvements. There were legit 6 options between the local 3 major chains when I originally procured mine.Ya I mean I'm with the mini split or bust camp as well...some people just can't swing it though, the portables they make are a bit better these day, I've done runs with one in a 10x10 tent and it was fine, it had a make shift filter to keep anything from getting in thru the hose. Also have run a passive air system with a/c cranking on outside of the tent- it could be minisplit or window shaker. I feel you though, I personally wouldn't grow w/o a minisolit now...mini split and sealed room all the way!
I guess if there's a decent filter that's probably fine.
Really don't like the idea of bringing in anything from the outside if I can avoid it. My IPM is pretty on point these days. It might not have happened if I was taking every precaution I do now, heck I could have brought them in on my person.
On the flip side there's a people that have no IPM at all. IME a lot people don't do anything until there's a visible issue or are unaware of what's actually happening when their plants take a turn. See a lot of people thinking it's a problem with nutrition for a couple weeks and they're fucked.
Really situational.
