Stash in the grow room?

Hey everyone,
As I was sitting in a basement room that is my "smoking room" today I was looking at my grow box (also in the same room) and wondered if keeping the stash and or smoking in that room was a bad idea. Does anyone think smoke and any other particles getting sucked into the fan will be a problem? What if I get Hermie weed in between grows? Can its pollen fly off the bud and pollinate the plants? Maybe I was just stoned, but what do you think?

Smoke is bad, do everything to keep it away from your plants. Not sure about the pollen thing though, sounds like a stretch to me. Anything is possible.

i know tobacco smoke is far worse then weed smoke but id try and keep smoke to a minimum in the grow space. I you were to get weed with pollen on it somehow (would hope ya wouldnt hahaha) and ground the bud in a grinder then blew on the ground bud it mightttt by chance get airborn and get sucked in. Thats a stretch tho as Machio said

I guess I don't know how long pollen is good for if not stored. I would research it but I have no plans of ever using it. Maybe someone can answer this accurately.

Is pollen from a cured hermie plant still capable of pollenating?

doubt itd be good after curing but if its hermied then its seeded and may very well have skipped curing.... goes along wit low quality charactoristics

imo its not possible for you to get pollen off your harvested bud pollen only stays viable for a couple days.....

ive heard not to touch seeds, seedling or clones after smoking a tobacco cigarrete but i smoke around my plants all the time blow the smoke at them.... never had any problems i really doubt im doing damage to them by smoking 2-3 times a day for 5 min if anything im helping them because i have heard that when your breathing or talking on the plants u release carbon dioxide in very small quantities really wouldent do much difference really anyways

take it or leave it, but i recently heard that the common idea about helping your plants by talking to them really isn't what people think it is. while this will indeed increase the available co2 for the plant, raising the concentration of co2 as such can alter the pressure gradient of the gas exchange enough to signal sufficient co2 to start photosynthesis. at this time, a hormone called abcisic acid (or ABA) passes through the leaves' guard cells (two cells comprising the leaf stomata). this causes the liquid cytosol to basically leave the guard cells, causing them to close together. the reason why you wouldn't want that is that you will have effectively triggered photosynthesis, and likely well before the plant has taken in all the energy it could have to make the sugars it needs to grow. could be a bit off as this is just from a moment's recollection, but you get the idea.
a bit of rambling i know, and as i said take it or leave it. but the guy i heard say that was my biology professor.
