Will a flowering male or female plant pollinate an imature seedling or clone?

Hello, I'm wondering if I was to have a pollinating male and female together in a room with seedlings or clones that have not been preflowered or show any signs of a sex, would the pollin from ether of the mature plants affect the little ones? And if not, at what time would they start to? when they've shown preflowers? Thanks to anyone who can help

I have seen on here before that the pollen can survive for about 6 months.

Thats right bro when you see even one hair on the female the male can contaminate it.

Meaning it would stay in the room even after the plants are out? Would it also stay on the young plants and then when I move them to flower they self pollinate with the pollen hiding out on them?

That is correct, and you can contaminate the whole future grow.

Basically, keep the male and everything it is near away. If you plan on flowering in that area in the future, you need to scrub everything down with bleach to kill the pollen. Then, set fire to it, just kidding. Bleach will do it.

Great. Thanks you guys, I'll definitely not do that then. Happy growing
