are you talking room, cabinet, closet or ? I grow inside a tent and also a cabinet and I wash down everything between grows so I dont think I would see this. Is a very good question though and cant wait to see what WH, Rusty, IR, TDP, Dive, Loc and a few others would say.
i have it growing in a closet.

The chances of it are unlikely, However you should always clean down the room with bleach and warm water.
yea, thats what i was thinking. thanx for the info.
I don't believe you can save the pollen for that long.

I save pollen in 3"x5" glassine envelopes, placed in a recipe file, stored in a DRY cool place. I've used some that was more then 3 years old, with fine results.
Plain water will render the pollen inert. But it's a good idea to clean your grow area with water + bleach or use a handheld steam cleaner (works great for cleaning grow trays etc).
