Hi fella, as hiddengreen said pollen can travel for miles and you also got to think about your clothing, your in Hermie tent looking around sorting out, you then go in the other tent, congratulations your clothes have just pollinated your whole grow, if your looking for flowers then get rid or you can keep but its a very strict regime you will need to follow, if you want seeds, then keep them you will have enough seeds at the end to last you many seasons, the choice is yours, if you keep them, don't be surprised if all plants get pollinated, all the best 👍

Thank you for your tips. However I still have one question. If I start the second tent with some seeds in a week, by the time I'll turn them to flowering the hermies will be finished. So will there still be pollen flying around?

Though pollen doesnt stay viable for very long it is known to travel for miles if it has a decent breeze, i would either watch the hermied plants extremely closely or just get rid of them. If you dont mind checking them pretty thoroughly just about every day you could chance it and just pinch pollen sacks as they appear to minimize and chance of pollination, also if you add exhaust so there is negative pressure inside the tent (always sucking air) that should decrease the chances of polle. Escaping as well, but youll need to change clothes before checking your other plants.
