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.

I don't believe you can save the pollen for that long.

Hey grey1223,

Pollen can and does stay viable for years. Some of us actually collect and save pollen and then can use it later to make crosses or fem seeds even.

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).
