You have my mind rolling. Why couldn’t you put a pre filter over the outgoing duct? A repurposed, broken down, return air filter could work.

Yea, agreed, that seems workable, or literally just a HEPA bag from a floor vac, I’ve got a Kirby that is recently obsolete due to replacing carpet with hard floor, and I’ve been meaning to play with the remaining fresh bags - I think that is worth an experiment along these line, as in, attached somehow to outgoing vent before air from closet mixes with fresh and is recirculated.

Kirby was obsolete when rainbow came out! 
Sorry, I had to.
I definitely would say go for the experiment.

Ha! in my early 20’s I was one of those schmucks that sold Electrolux door-to-door and in-home by appointment - what a bunch of assholes we were…the training videos taught incredibly aggressive techniques that would probably get someone arrested today.
I do kind of love the old school “mechanical” working of the Kirby/Rainbow engineering, but they have roughly the mass of a Sherman tank, and my 100lb roommate has trouble with it on the stairs especially. Good riddance (the K, not my roomie).

I sold Hyla in my not so early 20s
Edit: sent pm and moved off topic conversation to that.

I am so, so sorry to hear that. I think I am going to lower my humidity, just to be safe. I’ve been churning it to insane levels, with vapor going on the plants directly, to try and slow the mites. I’ll take your lesson to heart and change the conditions while I still can. Who knows, maybe your experience saved my harvest. Consider it taking one for the team, then.
I look forward to seeing your continue your growing journey, and I vehemently reject the notion that this is an easy plant to grow and process. Don’t beat yourself up. Growing cannabis is difficult, complicated, and error and failure prone. Sure, cannabis might be super resilient and not die after a couple days of heavy rain like poppies or ‘self-destruct’ like other plants, but just looking at it wrong will yield results that the community deems ‘sub-optimal’.
