There is always a risk of contaminating a grow room with pests if a plant is brought from outdoors indoors.
I hope it was only something as simple as slugs dining on your plants
What does the pest damage look like?

...Funny you should say that GF...been having some slugs getting under the sill of my basement garden door...but no sign of them in the girlz room in the shed...gonna go see my friends at one the pools and score a bag of DE
...plants usually are only outside for an hour or so while I werk in the shed...however not to rule anything out...it's possible...I still can't find a sign of anything, but every one got a pyrethrin misting a while ago...switched out my 14 watt LED bulbs with 23 watt flouro's to get the temps up a bit...weather is still less than desirable...Date:

Update time...weather is still crappy...humidity is better...been able to get it into the 40's during the day...cold is still an issue...switching the LED to flouro's helped...bout 78F during the day...last night had to fire up a lil heater because of another cold snap...forecast for 36F tonight!...Damn!...come on summer!!...
...last watering was last thursday...but only 4 of the girlz were thirsty today...only gave them a short drink as I want them to sync with the others...next watering will include some nutes...they've only had one feeding a couple weeks ago...
...gave all the girlz a second pyrethrin misting today...seems whatever pest prob I had is under control...existing problem seems stopped and new growth is normal...gonna be watchful...
...have 3 distinct growth styles...Krippling and Heavyweight are typical indicas...medium height(I'm really liking their structure at this point...lots of nice bud sites with with minimal shading...the White shark is quite squat...seems to be concentrating all energy at new growth at center of plant...Tangerine dream is a tall girl...prolly gonna give me some stress after the flip(damn teenagers)...lolool...
...without further wait...a few pics...
...temp/humidity shot...temp was higher, but door was open for awhile...
...
...
...Girlz outside...krippling... heavyweight on the right...Shark in the middle...Dream on the right...
...girlz inside...
...
...
...a lil heat damage lower right from heater last night...my fault...DOH!...
...
...
...So I won 50 bucks on a scratch ticket a couple weeks back and was perusing Amazon...came across a LED grow bulb from China...28 watts...5 bucks a pop...bought 10...almost free money spent...threw 4 into the mix today...can see the light difference on some big fan leaves...we'll see...hard to tell if they may make any difference...prolly fire a couple up in a dark room by themselves to get a better idea of output...

So I was playing with the little LED bulbs yesterday...in the basement where I start my seedlings...first shot is a single bulb hanging straight at 12 inches above surface...
...
...LUX reading...
...
second shot is two bulbs in a reflector...didn't have an extension and these bulbs are so short they were shining on the reflector...
...
...Lux reading...
...
...don't think they will have any impact out in the shed given the nature of my set up...I think they might work as a cheap LED alternative in a small closet style application though...like I said...5 bucks CAD and less than 2 weeks from Hong Kong...Cheerz...h00k...
...Examples
Illuminance Surfaces illuminated by:
0.0001 lux Moonless, overcast night sky (starlight)[3]
0.002 lux Moonless clear night sky with airglow[3]

3.4 lux Dark limit of civil twilight under a clear sky[5]

80 lux Office building hallway/toilet lighting[7][8]

So...actually put together two pretty nice days in a row...another 27C today...had half the girlz out to clean and maintenance...ended up giving all of them a haircut...partly to open up...and mainly cause' my last pyrethrin spray did some some damage to leaves...not sure if it was my strength of mixture...but they looked worse after treatment than before...I suspected spider mites...so admittedly...I went a lil heavy...they'll be fine...and they could have really used a thinning anyway...I would have liked to put up some pics, but camera battery needed charging and grandson was coming out, so everyone had to get put away...will have some pics of progress after the weekend...been a juggling act with booster seats trying to even out canopy height...funny how same strain plants can vary under same conditions...7 1/2 weeks since sprouts hit dirt...will prolly flip in 2 weeks...be nice to get the stretch going and getting the lights up...all this crawling is playing hell with one of my knee's...lolool...Cheerz!...catch Ya'll early next week...h00k...

Greetings from the GWN...update time...did a cal/mag and big bloom feeding on the weekend and raised the lights some...not all the girlz were thirsty today so a straight water feeding will wait till Wed/Thurs...Took all the girlz outside today to vacuum shed and rearrange some electrical...getting ready for the flip in prolly 2 weeks...raised the lights again...nice to not have to crawl anymore to get to the back...did some manicuring on the girlz as well...some thinning for better light and removing damaged leaves...put in stakes for when the time comes when they need some direction or support...So...all in all things are going pretty well...weather could be better...but it is what it is...so now a few pics...
...A couple shots of all the girlz outside...
...
...
...a couple shots of the leaves I damaged(prolley a combo of solution strength and being wet under the lights)
...
...
...The girlz back inside...
...
...
...
...finally...a temp/humidity shot...don't know WTF that 102F came from...never seen it above 84F!??...door's been open all day to get the humidity down, so the temps a little low...usually bout' 74 on a day like today...
