Hey erryyybody,
About 3 months ago I did my first grow cycle with two plants, and both turned out to be males. I vegged them for about 2 months, and started a 12/12 cycle. It started to look like they were both males, but being a new grower, and just hoping it was a female, I kind of let them grow for too long, lets say a little less than 2 weeks. After truly realizing they were males I took them out and killed them, this was about 2 weeks ago. I just germinated 5 new seeds and just realized the room might have pollen in it. So my first question, when do the male plants release pollen, and do you think they did. My second question is, how can I get the pollen out of the room, so these babies can have a safe home. Hope this made sense, and hopefully someone can help me out.

Thanks a lot everybody!

Take your plants out of the grow space & wash down the walls/floor/ceiling and any equipment with warm water & a bit of bleach.
That will take care of any residual pollen.
