Pollen vs Clones

Ok, so I just found this male plant hiding underneath my once female bud canopy which are in a self contained tent.The females are now seeding. I am so sad. But here is the thing- will my clones ( which are outside of that tent- but in the same room) be affected by the pollen that was released by that hiding male? I already took him out. I have a scrubber running on the inside and outside the tent. I also have an ozone producing light outside the tent. I plan on cutting all my current flowering plants down and washing the tent and then installing my clones to veg and so on.I took my clones way way way before the little hiding male started producing seeds and thus released pollen onto my females.So to recap my question- Are my clones going to be ok? I am desperate for some information.

Your clones are at no risk to pollen until they flower. Then any pollen still in your circulation fan or whatever can seed your new crop. Be thorough in your cleaning.

Are you 100% sure none of your clones came from the male plant?

yeah.. you have nothing to woryy about with pollen unless you have other flowering plants in the same room... but like the above poster said, you have to be thourough with your cleaning of the room if the male plant got far enough along to spread any of its pollen.. that crap can get everywhere... i would suggest wiping everyting down with a mild bleach solution a couple of times in the event that the pollen did get out... of not, just discard of the male unless you want to use it for breeding purposes...

Thank you for responding.I numbered my clones and oringal plants- I have discarded the male clones as well. Is wiping down surfaces with alcohol and scrubbing the air enough? Also- what about my pollinated females - are they tokable in week 5 of flowering? I mean, should I just let them continue untile the appropriate harvest time?There is a pic of one of the pollinated females on my page in the 1st try album.
