Cleanup After Pollination

[CreatioExnihilo]

I am in the process of doing several pollinations in succession on all of my strains with several prized males. Does anyone have a good method for cleanup after pollination before starting on the next one? (tent in a sealed room)



Obviously change the carbon filter...

Does sulphur vapour kill/denature stray pollen?


Any thoughts welcome

you are going to pollinate with multiple males on multiple different strains in one tent?
no matter what you do there is no way to ensure that no cross pollination will take place even with the most rigorous protocols in place. All the seed you make will be suspect to cross pollination.
not trying to ruin your fun by any means but this "is" the reality of pollen.

Baloney.

Hose down the inside of your tent with a sprayer filled with RO water. Water kills pollen dead. Want to get crazy? Make it a 10% bleach solution for the nuclear option.

Make sure to wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth/towel to retain reflectivity of the tent's interior.

No sorry, one male per run but planning to reuse the same tent and same room the next time over. I'm particularly meticulous but wondered any methods of ensuring the minimum of pollen from the previous run could persist to the next one and contaminate.

Water kills pollen plain old tap water just get a cloth that is wet n clean the space with a wipe down.

what about inside the fans? Living on the hypothetical side now. Does ozone kill pollen after i have wiped everything down?

ya one male per run is a-ok and like the others mentioned, water kills pollen. Mixing with h202 and alcohol gives an added benefit of killing virtually anything organicin the room.

my earlier post was regarding multiple pollen donors pollinating several different strains in succession and I thought you meant one at a time in the same tent in the same run. Perhaps I misunderstood your first post.
to the other guy who replied.... there was nothing "baloney" about my post. I take my own breeding work very seriously and have done so for over 2 decades.
