Pollen Life ?

[Guest]

Ok, i did all my crossing and everything is done. Now all i have to do is wait till harvest time for my buds and seeds. The question i have is this. Once i harvest, how long can pollen stay alive in the room? I'm asking this because i'm going to clean the room best as possible, but don't want to have any pollen left behide that will wreck my whole next run of TrainWreck clones and Blue Satellite #2. How long can any pollen in the room after i clean, can stay alive and fuck up my next run?
Thanks

I read some posts here on IC that said that once used it has life of about 2 weeks and to be safe it stated to wash the room with water.

The post also stated that peroxide mixed in water works also.

Once Pollen is thoughly wet, ( unless already on the female bud ) it's self-life is in hours. And once it is wet, it ain't moving anywhere.

Of course, there is alway that 1 in a 100 exception, so I always wait a couple of days and spray several times with water ( don't like suprises ).


peace

As long as i get up most of it up and what ever is left behide isn't going to seed up my next crop. I'm going to wash the room well and vacum it also, but i might vacum first then wash last. Vacum might stir up some pollen and then washing down will get the rest of it on the walls and equipment.
Thanks

same worry here only my last grow was over 6 months ago...the only equipment from the old grow is my light, inline fan and a blower. I've also moved since then and am using a different room. Should I still be worried that there may still be some stray hermie pollen??? Someone please help by coming with an answer that is based on fact if possible, thanks.
