Will early pollination limit seed count?

[Slimpikens]

I have a male auto in the same tent as 4 other females in hopes of getting some seeds to continue experimenting. The male started dropping pollen a few weeks before the females were ready to accept and being in the same tent, once they were of proper age, they received pollen as soon as they were ready. I'm already seeing some calyxes begin to swell which is great, but my question is as stated above, will this early pollination limit the number of seeds I harvest. I can't help but think that once the plant starts putting energy into seed production that bud growth will rapidly slow. If I continue to let the male drop pollen, will the females continue to produce new bud sites and continue to take pollen, or next time around should I wait to introduce the females later in flower so there are bigger and more numerous buds for seed production? Much love for all the help, and as I learn a bit more I look forward to contributing.

Only ghe calyzes that got pollen will make seeds, so dont stop pollinating. However ypu might want to keep the male separate for a while so that more buds are developed. And dont pollinate after there is no more than 6 weeks till harvest, maybe like 6.5 weeks till harvest is best to pollinate again. Seeds take 5-6 weeks to develop and you dont want undeveloped seeds naturally

Thanks so much! That was exactly the information I was looking for. You saved me loads of trial and error.

If u hit them early w just a few pistils on each site u will get just the right amountvof seeds that will be perfect when u harvest!
