I would clean the entire grow room, walls, ceiling, poles, etc, equipment and all using something like chlorox disinfectant spray..should de-activate the pollen..Stuff gets everywhere..think of your fans blowing it all around.. The thought of losing a female, grow time etc would not really thrill me.
not so much a grow room as opposed to a bedroom with an engine crate and some foil lol. Sent from my SM-G925F using Grasscity Forum mobile app
How far along was the grow...the male plant...if you caught it early I would think that you should be ok. I mean it had to of been producing seeds and pollen first to be a real danger I would think!?

I agree with @Buzzer777 clean it all down with good cleaner. Anything that the pollen from the male plant could have touched. I had two plants hermie on me a few months ago, lost probably a half pound of smoke, give or take. I cleaned the shit out of my tent, lights, all of it. I haven't had a problem since. You can't be too careful about the pollen especially in a very small space like you are using. Clean everything, and you also should not use aluminum foil for reflective walls, its not a very good material and can create hot spots on the plant, ect.
A big thing to also clean is the lights ,many people of look this and it can hold a bunch of pollen ,the main thing is water will kill it so anything in the area should be cleaned if you feel there was a chance so of the sacs could ve dispearsed any pollen,fans lights everything ,even outside the tent should be whiped down with a wet rag,it s amazing how a spec of the stuff can ruin a beautiful female,
