This is my 1st breeding experiment and im curious about the invasiveness of pollen.
I run a collective garden and dont flower any of my plants at home.
I use a 2nd bedroom at home just to keep my mothers and to root clones.

I decided to get a sealed tent and try a breeding experiment. If i have a pollinating male inside the tent how worried do i have to be about the pollen getting on the mothers/clones and does it even matter since they are in veg continuously?

Will the pollen stay on them until theyre ready to flower and then pollinate the females?
Should i have zero contact with anything in my house with my flowering warehouse?

Do i have to becareful not to wear the same clothes when i go to the warehouse?
If pollen does get on a vegging clone can i just dunk it underwater and be relatively safe?

thanks in advance.

supposedly the pollen dies very quickly after being wet
so anything that goes through a shower/dunking after exposure should nuke it
however, the stakes sound fairly high, so get more opinions

preflowers can be pollinated and pollen gets around verh very easy you need to take the highest precautions when dealing with a flowering male these guus just dump pollen non stop and itsprettt much designed to get blown around and hit pistils. shouldnt be too catastrophic tho 3 or 4 seeds a plant max, grow one is correct these little grains of pollen dont make it long in the outside world and is rendered non-viable once its wet so just make sure to be careful with him and have plain water spray bottles around (they help) hope this helps

I remember there was this one guy who said smoking pollen gets you stoned... I know this is half off topic, but isn't that freakin' sick? That's basically smoking cannabis jizz.
