How long for male to produce pollen?

I have some AK-48s that have been vegged for 8 weeks and just finished the first week of flowering. One appears to be showing male now and I was thinking of keeping it in another room (far away from grow) until I can collect some pollen from it. How long would it take for it to mature enough to make usable pollen? If I were to do a "Q-tip insemination" of one or two lower buds on a female AK-48, would that lessen potency of the whole plant, or just the seeded buds? How many seeds could I expect to get from one pollinated bud - 5, 10, 20 or more? Is it worth it to keep the male alive long enough to do this, and do I need to do more than just basic care to keep it going - is it going to need flower nutes to make the pollen, or will water and lights be enough?

Alright dude, here's the situation... you can do the artificial pollinating and it will only affect the pollinated buds. I do this all the time just to keep a fresh stock of seeds.kinda late. But no one else commented so there ya go mayne
