Will a carbon filter stop pollen?

It's not the carbon to worry about. Every time you open the tent to water, trim, inspect the male. You'll be contaminated. Pollen will stick to your clothes, shoes, and hair.
Understand how serious a male plant is about the survival of the strain. About the only way to keep a male isolated is to treat the pollen like it's anthrax.

What do you mean, stop it from what? A carbon filter will stop pollen until you open the tent, than there will be pollen moving around.

Worked as intended! Durban Poison pollen put onto a White Widow, a Peyote WiFi, 2 phenos of GDP, and a Tillamook Strawberry x Loctite. Carbon filter stopped all pollen, negative pressure in tent kept pollen inside tent, washed thoroughly after opening tent. Seeds everywhere i put pollen, so far no seeds anywhere else.

Looking like i have another Durban Poison male in the works (female as well). Wasnt planning on breeding this round, but i only have a few Durban Poison seeds left, so maybe I should just make some more? Only other strain i have going that i didnt last time is Alien Rock Candy, 2 phenos looks like, which i am cloning. Maybe I'll just keep the male in veg awhile and use it next round.
