Had a room with males

Had a light problem and a whole into turned into males/herms. What’s the correct protocol for cleaning the room to make sure the next batch of clones don’t get pollinated? Can I re-use my coco?

Pollen doesn’t remain viable long once it’s been shed. Maybe a couple of weeks at best. Any thoughts it’s going to pollinate a plant months later blowing off the floor are wasted.

I’ll do a heat treatment also. I have a feeling that 2-3 hours of 50c would kill most things, except maybe not spider mites

Dry pollen for every other crop remains more viable when wet. Becomes inert more quickly when dry so you’re on to it. Hot and dry.

"In the same study, it was found that in species where the pollen was completely protected by flower structure there was a low resistance to water, whereas in species with structures that did not protect pollen from rain there was a higher frequency of water-resistant pollen."

The effects of rainfall on plant–pollinator interactions - Arthropod-Plant Interactions

As global surface temperatures rise, global precipitation rates are predicted to increase. These localised increases in rainfall patterns may significantly affect plant–pollinator interactions in multiple ways. Detrimental effects to plant–pollinator interactions could have significant...

Settle down Beavis, huh huh.
I’m not taking sides, but OP is asking a serious question, no need to for us to be all butthurt and squabble, thus derailing his quest for knowledge and relief - this isn’t a flushing thread or one about extreme defoliation.
OP, I suggest a light bleach solution wipe down (you really need very little bleach). Let dry, wipe down again, rinse with clean water let dry, then vacuum to finish.
I really doubt you’re gonna have a huge issue with old pollen in there regardless, but cleaning up some spilled pollen is way easier then getting rid of shit like PM spores or insects.

I agree with bleach water wipe down. he started it heh eh. Make sure to use normal bleach and not the splash free kind or it will leave a messy film.
