my room is full of mold spores. almost everything i grow outside of my pmp gets contamed. green green green. is there any practical way to help this? would running a hepa in there make a difference? or am i going to have to move my grows into a different room.

Clean all the fabric. Spray the floor with Lysol on a weekly regimen. Spray the walls, ceiling, fan blades and anything with a surface with a weak bleach solution.
You may have to quarantine a section of room with viz queen plastic. It is much easier the sterilize a smaller area than it is to sterilize the whole place.

I agree with her but take it a step further, I would move your grow, and if possible take everything out of the room everything...
and then go nuts cleaning, got carpet disinfect it, wash walls ceiling, run a 24/7 heppa...man is a choir.
But If its that bad it could be in the walls.
Once you think you got it then try Petri dishes to see what grows and or how long.

I think that it is good to battle contams, but what these people are suggesting is not effecient or necessary. The best thing you can do is to get a hepa and clean your whole house once. Then, in the future throw things away immediately when mold grows on them. What I usually do is I spray anything that has mold on it with Isopropyl (this kills mold spores and keeps them stuck to the surface of whatever it is) then I throw it out. If you try to salvage things, you are asking for trouble. If there is no mold growing in your house and you kill all the spores already in it, you should have a VERY low spore count. Goodluck.

you dont need to buy a hepa to "run" you can actually rig a hepa filter to your furnace or air conditioner!!! 
of course this would barely help if your ducts are already full of dust and mold.

I have three or four large HEPA filters sitting in my storage shed. They're worthless, imo. They cause too much turbulence in a room and seem to stir up the contaminants more than they filter them. I actually have less contaminant trouble without them running.
Mix up a 10% bleach solution and saturate everything in that room. Walls, ceiling, carpet, bedding, curtains, etc., etc. Fill the room up with a mist and close all the doors and windows. Repeat hourly for half a day or so. The bleach will kill the mold spores. RR

Are you certain that the 10% bleach wont funk the carpet color?

Well it wont mess up paint or glass or stained wood. But it could mess up dyes in curtains and carpet.
You deffinatley need to bleach up all the walls and vacumme the carpet 10x over. It may get to the point that you have to cut off the air ducts going to the room and use a space heater to warm that.
mold spores could easily be getting in the room through the furnace that is probably located in the basement.
