Need help: How long does hermie pollen stay viable?

Looking for some advice to help prevent getting hermied again. I have 6 plants over 5 weeks in flowering that have been stressed by a light leak. Of course, by the time I saw beans, it was way too late. I am 19 days from an 8 week harvest. The buds are very resinous (Using Fox Farms complete lineup) and stoney (picked a couple buds to confirm seed infestation level :-?). Clones for the next run have just rooted in the last couple days and are starting veg, plan being to 12/12'em at harvest.

So here are my questions:
Can I have the harvested plants be dried in the same general area (my house) when the new batch is starting to flower?

Once dry, can I break up the buds without pollen being sucked into the grow-bedroom through the intake fan which is nearby where I smoke my doobs? (And if this would cause pollenation, is the best option to make some ice hash)?

Advice ASAP would be helpful so I can make a plan and set my mind at ease.
