Hello everyone,

So today in my mother room, one of my plants that was growing from seed had a lower branch that matured faster and dropped pollen before I could chop him down, in this room I have several older moms for clones and several plants that I am getting ready to flower, the whole room is on a 24hr light schedule.
Will there be problems with pollination even thought the females are not in their flowering stage? My understanding is that until buds start to form during a 12hrs of light schedule the female plant cannot accept pollen is that right? And how long should I wait to switch to flower for the plants that will be flowered? one last thing if this was your room what would you do to try and clean the pollen out?

thank you

if it was my room i would take all plants out spray bleach 1part bleach to 10 parts water spray thaat around your room and see if that help let it sit for a night but make sure its vetilated so your plants wont absoarb it into them anddie your choice bro as for flowereing them wait a while maybe the pollen will desentigrate or sumsing and then you might be good your choice
 
Pollen up to 40 days old can be used for cross or intentional pollination. Your best bet would be to sterilize the room.
1. remove all plants from the room and clean the containers to the best of your ability
2. vacuum the room from floor to ceiling (especially if fans were in use), place a wet rag over the exhaust of the vacuum to prevent blow by of particulates
3. bleach the room again floor to ceiling
4. air out the room, and you should be ready to go
