Lots-a-seeds?

A couple of males in a very small crop were found 20 days into flowering and killed. What are the chances of the whole crop being full of seeds when done? Can I expect a low yield and a bag full of seeds from this? I'm really nervous that all my efforts are going to be for a bunch of seeds...
The plants were spaced 6+ feet away from each other if that helps...?

had the pollen sacks (the nuts) opened? If not you're "probably" Ok. If they had opened and were blossoming you're probably screwed.

Yeah, some of the top sacks had opened, but it wasn't like they were going off like crazy yet. When can I expect to see very visible signs of pollination? 2 weeks?

yea, but keep a VERY VERY close watch in the buds if you feel something firm and it pop's when squeezed you have seeds.

dont squeeze your plants, just wait to see if the calyx's swell,
 
Watch for a lot of pistils suddenly changing color now, if most start dying in the next couple days you have heavy pollination.

This is the money you could be saving if you grow

If the pollen came from lower branches you may still have light damage. But it's better than a burst between 2 to 6 feet from ground.

your only 20 days in. just the innermost flowers of the buds will be seeded. not that many at all, and the rest will be normal seedless growth. and the seeds you do get will be really good and mature.
