I have two grow boxes in one room(18'x14') and was wondering if it is a good or bad idea to veg/flower in one box and breed in the other box. I have can filters in both boxes,but don't know if the pollen will affect the box with the flowering plants. Has anyone tried this??? Just looking for a little advice!!!!!!!!!!
 
Pollen can carry for miles, so unless you have some sort of way to keep one set of the plants or the other in air tight conditions I would recommend against it. I know most breeders keep their males and females as far away from each other as possible, and I believe it's not uncommon to grow the males in a totally different location, harvest their pollen, and then get rid of them. The pollen can be stored for quite a while, so you don't neccessarily need to keep father plants around on a permanent basis.
 
I don't know from experience, but a lot of people talk about how you have to scrub your whole room down if one pollinates in there. I guess you could argue that they are in their own sep boxes, but you would have to open the doors at some point even if the box is 100% tight. I would say it's not a good idea, but other people might have something diff to say
