My previous grow was fully seeded. I grow in a closet in my room Plenty of pollen was flowing around here three months ago. Can I expect this pollen to contaminate my current grow ?

I have been wondering the same thing.. i got a bunch of hermies that I'm flowering out to make hash with and I also have one plant that I am taking clones from that is not hermie and would love to know how long I am gunna have to worry bout the pollen.. I'd rather not take it all down to clean it.

I read somewhere that pollen only lasts for 3 days (I find that kinda hard to imagine).

However you should be safe for you next grow. I grew a male in my basement along with a female and got a bazillion seeds. In fact I think every single calyx was pollenated, however the next grow I got absolutely zero seeds. And that was in a pokey corner of my basement, next to a workbench, where there's loads of nooks and crannies for the pollen to get into.

Just give your space a wipe down when you're done and you should be go to go again.

mabye a quick spray of lysol or some other alcohol anti bacterial will kill off the pollen ?
