A small number of viruses can be transmitted through pollen to the seed (e.g. Barley stripe mosaic virus, genus Hordeivirus) while many that cause systemic infections accumulate in vegetatively-propagated crops. The major vectors of plant viruses are: Insects.

The insects act as a carrier and transfer while eating by piercing/puncturing the outer protective layer, usually accidentally or intentionally inserting secretions into the wound.

Of course you can get your plant sick. Why do legit grow ops make workers change clothes and suit up? Its not grasshopper prevention, so.. Whos drawing the line between one microscopic bug and the next?

Either way, Monsanto will fill your body with weaponized fusarium at some point in the future. Then its all over.

Hopefully it isn't happening already? You know the intestines and a plants root are literally the same (the mammals root is just turned inside out). So anything that applies to stomach bacteria applies to other types of soil. Your poop is your "soil" and the same deficiencies, namely lack of beneficial microbial life, will decrease your quality, plant or person.. Monsanto knows all about this. And so do probiotic growers...

That's to prevent insects, molds and fungi from being brought into the grow area not to prevent the plants catching a cold. If you work in your yard then go into your grow room you most likely will infect your plants with a bug that attacks plants but just uses you as transport to the plants.

Same with guys that post pics of their cute kitty or puppy playing around the plants then next week asking, How do I get rid of mites? Don't have a clue where they came from. "Don't have a clue" is the operative term there. :D

although, all of my lawn equipment is parked in the dirt floor of the barn my grow rooms are built in. I dont cut grass and go in of course, but brush hog, rider, whackers, pressure washer, used soil, piles of it, new soil too only feet away from the grow room door.. my dogs have been welcome in my rooms since 2008. not a single mite ever, no symptoms and none show up on the scope.
I have seen aphids and thrips and gnats, all died instantly with a shot of dlimonene/soap/water

few things that havent happened though.....no visitors and no clones taken in and atmosphere has always been strictly controlled always. I maintain mites come from clones and other growers.:P

I should mention also that since I never broad treat or bomb or spray as a preventative I support many insects in my rooms, spiders the size of a silver dollar and all their youngins too, I got jumping spiders in most areas in on and around plants and pots all year. snakes are abound in the barn though never saw one in the grow room. I have many natural lady bugs seasonally in there. I often work in the barn with my grow room door open, not anal about that stuff at all. certainly would be if I met the borg though.
I grow much basil in my rooms, buckets everywhere, sprouts naturally occurring in plant pots daily, betting all that stuff together goes along way to keeping a borg free exp, at least thats how I like to feel every time I hear of a mite issue.

I got about a half dozen spiders in my grow room that I know about and often wonder how they survive. I make sure not to squish them moving pots around so they can grab anything that gets in. Still have a thrip or three but they're so few I'm barely looking for them now. They sure don't seem to like the plants in full flower so much. So glad it wasn't mites. :)
