Yields from pollinated plants

My neighbour has a male plant. I asked him to get rid of it after it jumped into flower in his backyard from the shock of being moved outside and lightly pollinated my female Cherry Bomb. His plant disappeared. Didn't affect her too much. I got 4 matureish seeds at harvest and about 20 or so immature popped up when I was drying the plant.
Now that my Bakerstreet is blooming she has budsites all over and every single one has seeds. I'm looking at maybe 50 to 100 seeds right now. He moved his plant out of sight.
My question is how much does this level of seeding affect the yields of a plant this size?
Bakerstreet is a strain of Hindu Kush, the lp says it's a landrace. She's 7 and a half feet tall right now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.bkrsaug17.jpg

I can’t say how much exactly but I’ll buy 5 pounds of the seeds. I’m sitting here with a fattie of Cherry Bomb right now. Great stuff. Heavy yielder for me. How did yours do?

Sorry, most of the seeds I got from that weren't viable, the ones that did are popped now, I'm going to try sts on one and see if I can't back cross 'em to something close to their mom. I got an okay yield from her, a few oz, but she was rootbound.

Edit: I'll use sts if I don't get a male. Only 4 seeds popped.

Thanks, I'm not much of a flower guy, I only really have say over the veg part of the garden, and my weed. It's set up so that there's always something blooming, or there's snow.
The flowers attract a metric fuckton of butterflies, but there's also a hornet nest really close so any caterpillars don't last more than a day or two.

I'm kinda resigned to having to have a couple of indoor grows this fall/winter as I really do not want to buy from the OCS again. Some of it was pretty good, but some...I got a gram of shishkaberry from Redecan, and it was tan and smelled like beer.
I'm okay with seeds, and a lot of them will be mature by harvest since they got pollinated so early, but I really did hope to get enough from the plants this season to keep me going for a few months at least. Avoid the crapshoot of buying some.

He thinks he'll get bud from it. He didn't believe me when I told him he wouldn't. I want him to harvest, dry, and smoke it. He deserves it.
I can't move my current plant in, obviously, but yeah, I'm growing indoors until numnuts figures it out. The two houses on the other side of me both grow, but so far they have no seeds, and have been forewarned.

Yeah, around here the rippers are starting to target legal grow ops. Not the big guys yet, but eventually someone will get greedy.
Funny thing is almost everyone around here grows. Now it's in the open. Last year around late September the whole neighbourhood started to smell, it was awesome.

Growing indoors has great advantages, it is well worth the extra production cost. Stealth, security, quality control, multiple harvests a year, keeping strains, and you learn a lot when it is part of your personal life. Getting rid of your extra bud is easy also, it stands out, but gets difficult around outdoor harvest season when the market is flooded with cheap smoke.

I've grown indoors for a while, but with legalization here it just makes a lot of sense to have a plant or two outside, especially in a neighbourhood like this one. I don't need to worry about stealth because anyone who can see my plant has at least one of their own. Quality control and multiple harvests a year are good points. If I had extra weed I would probably make budder and freeze it in case a grow goes bad, or something. That and give it to friends.

Spray some roundup around the base of his plant from over your fence.

I have seriously considered it, but first I would have to put some money in Monsanto's pockets.
I really want to imagine his face when he takes a big old haul of burning pollen in his lugs.

So, my neighbour's son, who used to deal, came around the other day. I overheard papa saying "I didn't know. I didn't know!"
Next time I looked his plant was gone.
And as a plus, it was raining that day, so no cloud of pollen from the plant coming down.
Next time I see his son after harvest he gets a bit of bud.
