So I've had many problems growing so far. I'm a year into it and its been an uphill battle of dealing with heat, air flow, Co2, and hermis. I've been doing a lot of research trying to fix everything, fixed the heat and c02 its down to 78F at most in flower and 82 in veg. Currently I have a perceptual harvest, 2 months veg in one room 2 months flower in another. Recently all the problems caught up to me. It started out with a Dutch treat clone and gelato seed herming, no big deal, I bagged the whole thing and chopped it making sure it wouldn't pollinate anything as it was thrown out. What I didn't realize was that it pollenated the whole room and other tents next to it. So now I'm 3 days away from a finished crop that has all been hermied with almost mature seeds, and the other room that's 30 days from finishing is starting to show either swollen ball ish shapes or seeds here and there. So my biggest question is, should I cut all hermis to make sure it doesn't polinate the other plants that are in veg? I really don't want to so I bought a tent for the vegging plants so they could get filtered air in and filtered air out to prevent the pollen going into their grow space, they are a hall way and another room away from the tents and flower room luckily. But should I be safe than sorry? I plan to wipe all tents and rooms that have had hermis with iso and distilled water. I can always put a few tents in that hermi room but it'd be costly and hard to lollipop, check for hermis and water the flowering plants then. Its a full pound of bud worth of plants I'd be throwing out so that's why I'm asking all of you.
Might need to move to grow again, there's been a few issues I need help with.

To get rid of pollen you only need to mist everything down with water. One single male flower can make a million seeds!
What about the surrounding rooms, multiple carbon air filters, non water proof lights, (idk why I have a dyson fan but I use it in flower), and all the electronics? I'm kinda scared not gonna lie haha, mostly for the veg plants that pollen could touch. I've misted down before on my first grow where it happened and found a few seeds and a few the next. just hope with how bad this run is lookin its not gonna keep spreading or happen again.

Pollen only lives about 2 weeks in open air.
