    Best way to remove all traces of pollen from grow area

    A few questions about pollen. How long does it 'live' in a natural environment? I had hermies in my grow tent. Typical bag seed. They were removed and remaining girls are going strong. Still I would like to make sure there is no stray pollen in the tent before I start my fem seeds.

    Is it okay to wipe down all surfaces with clorox wipes? Or just some mild soap and water? Or just water?

    How do you prepare you grow area or tent between crops?

    According to Google,cannabis pollen is viable for three to ten days,depending on temperature and humidity.According to the posts on the question about how to clean after pollen most say they just used plain water and a sprayer.One used Neem oil,but no mention about Clorox. Hope this Helps

      Bleach and hot water.

      It it must be cleansed.

      it must be pure.

        I've never tested it myself, but from what I understand pollen doesn't last too long especially if there's moisture. A few weeks to maybe a few months max, and probably far less than that. If you wiped down the grow space floor, walls and ceiling between grows, I don't see how there would be much if any viable pollen left by the time your new plants actually start making buds!

          Thanks to all for answers. That eases my mind about the pollen. It's a brand new tent and still looks pristine. Hubs is always picking up the most minute speck of anything he sees.

          I'll probably just wipe down all surfaces with damp papertowels.
