How Do I Kill Male Pollin?

[New Holland]

I fucked up my first grow. When I put the plants into flower I didn't bother checking for males because I was using Feminised seeds and didn't think I'd get any males. The males have released there Pollen and it is all over the floor in my grow room. It's been about 2 months now, will it be dead now?. Or do I need to spray with bleach or something?.

Are the girls into bud as yet if they are it is to late, if they arnt the only way to get rid of it all is to take every thing out of the grow area and wash down with bleach, even then there will be some pollen stuck to the plants and will end up with some seed...

After 2 months the pollen should be sterile, spray with water it will kill pollen, but i reckon its worth doing as ozmade said

sorry to hear about your misfortune but thats what stops me from getting fem seeds, fickin' hermies

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm thinking I'll damp it down, and sweep up as much as I can with a soft broom. And wash everything with bleach. The plants that were in the last grow that turned out to be female I've kept as mother plants so hopefully these clones I've taken from them should all be female. I'll still check them when I turn them to flower.

 

So,...on a positive note, the last grow wasn't a complete loss. I learn't a valuable lesson. ALWAYS CHECK FOR MALES!!!. Plus I've got a couple of good mother plants out of it

IMO Feminised seeds is a load of bull shit.

 

Every lession lernt when growing will only make u a better grower in the end...

hey there mate

 

yeah very important to keep an eye out for males as they can do untold damage to good buds but hey if it were me i would collect some pollen in a ziplock bag and keep it in the fridge i think is the best as you will never know when u may need to seed a few buds for seed stock

 

just a thought
