pollination room help

[mike4c4]

I need some input. I have a small grow box that i would like to use as a pollination room but i dont know what type of screen or filter to use on the air out take as to minimize the risk of it getting into my flower room.

I am getting ready to set up a small area for this same purpose. My plan is to vent to the outside.

I imagine a heppa filter would be best for stopping pollen from getting out if you are venting into your room.

I have a 55 gal aquarium that I stand on one end, covering the bottom (used to be one side) with parchment paper. I put my male in it (covering the open side with plastic) when it starts popping pollen. I remove and replace the parchment paper daily. Of course I do this on the patio, and change clothes & bathe before entering the flowering room. Its amazing how much pollen one can collect like that. Doesn't keep very long, even in the freezer. A few months at best.

Vent to the outside no matter what type of filter. It's not worth the risk.

Then it will be what it will be. Maybe you get extra crosses? Of course you'd only know the mom for sure.

A HEPA filter will filter out pollen as will a 24v electrostatic filter.

Im using a home made 3 stage filter box.It goes dust cover, hepa, and a hypo allergenic filter. But im still sizing when i go into the veg rooms. electrostatic filter hum ill look into those thanks

Really a prefilter (to protect HEPA) and the HEPA is all thats required.

I am positive my neighbors are not growing. I live between old people older than me anyways. A few houses down is a county sheriff and I am kinda thinking him neither

My "outside" is actually into the storage area above my garage which is vented to the outside.


Hmmmmm... Maybe the old lady to the right IS growing. Could explain my last bean run


I still vote for a Hepa filter.
