Window A/C and UV light questions

The room I grow in is cut off from the central AC and it gets in the mid to high 90s without AC, so I installed a window unit. I live in a wooded area so contaminates are off the scale here, normally get high pollen count alers and my car is regularly green. I have had some annoying trich issues in my mono tubs and I am guessing that eventually with such high contamination counts the myc looses. I was wondering that if I rigged a sort of baffle on the window unit and put a couple UV lights in the baffle that it would cut down on spore counts coming in the window enough to be worth the trouble. I happen to have wonderboard and a couple lights lying around so there would be no cost. I actually have a SHITLOAD of wonderboard leftover from redoing the master bathroom, but THAT's another story...GD home depot asshole not being able to estimate SHIT, anyway . I have a little air filter HEPA rated to 99.999 that SEEMS to helpo a lot, and it has an "OZONE generator", but I dunno how effective it really is, makes the room sorta smell ozoney when there are no fruits drying. Anywho, I was looking at a slightly bigger industrial rated air-filter/ozone maker hoping maybe the MUCH greater rated capacity (like 3000sq feet in a 54ish sq ft room) and the heavy duty ozone generator will be much more effective. I will only run the ozon gen for maybe an hour or so a day as my whole house is around 3000sq feet. But does anyone think these options would help at all? It is a second story room and we keep a clean house. To be clear I seemingly ALWAYS get mold during second flush and I AM using Frank's one flush wonder tek, and he did state that mold is common during/after second flush.
Would it be a better idea to focus more on cleanliness and sterile procedure instead? Is WBS/popcorn/any other spawn sub and hpoo/woodchips/other bulk subs more effective at multiple flushes? Thanks for any help folks.

Yeah, I know this is an old thread, but I have exactly the same issues, except for the wonderboard and existent lights and ozone air cleaner, and this received no replies.
What I think I am going to do is put furnace fileters on the outside of the window ac, and build a little shelter around it to prevent rain from wrecking the filters, and get a UV air cleaner.
Leaving a plate open in a still room, in a cleaned SAB with a towel that is damp and a rack, I get contams in 10 and twelve seconds. And it's still, and sprayed with soap water and all the proper teks. So this crap is rolling around in the room and it only began to be a problem when the temps got over 90 and the AC went in.
It's either that or quit. And I'm not very much of a quitter.
