Need assistance containing a pollenation chamber

Hi folks, I am trying to build a small area that I can let my G13haze flower in, and receive pollen. I want to do this because of the structure and inter nodal spacing on my male G13H is exactly what I look for in all plants. Also I want a few thousand seeds..

Anyway, I am between buying a laminate cabinet and rigging it myself, or buying a 2x2x4 tent to do it in. I REALLY need advice on how to set up my area to prevent the pollination of all of my girls. I think the laminate cab would be easier to "seal" than the tent, but what sort of filtration would I need to use to make sure that the free flowing pollen does not escape? I have a tyvek suit to wear when I go in that room, to prevent myself from transporting pollen, but outside of a carbon filter I can not think of many options for filtering the pollen. Also I was thinking I would use a 400W or 250W CMH sealed separate from the grow (Intake and exhaust using solid piping to prevent pollen from going through my exhaust)

Anyone have experience doing this? I'm sure I am overlooking aspects of this, so please feel free to correct any mislead ideas I have!

HEPA filters effectively remove 99.97% of all particulates such as pollen and dust

so yo umay have a little escaping but 99.97% is pretty much all of it. if your still concerned with them numbers but 2 filters and filter it twice

Ahh! I didnt even think of that! I guess I would just need to buy 1 and cut it to size? Do they make 6 inch round hepa filters lol?

After thinkign on it for a second, I really dont know how I would incorperate a hepa filter, outside of cutting it to size (which may leave gaps for pollen to escape) any suggestions?

yeah...get a clone box and top the male and put that half in the clone box in rock wool or dirt...take it to another area like a window seal with the blinds closed...get some tack cloth and cover the filter hole they sell it at auto body stores for removing oil and dirt before you paint a car...and close the hole when you go to bed so it doesn't explode one night when your sleeping and when you see the first pods start to go...take the cloner outside and a shot glass and tap the pods and they will pop pollen everywhere take the pollen and put it in a small glass vial or jar and put in fridge you can put those silicon packets in there and put in the freezer after the fridge...or use the pollen on a female or two...hope this helps
