i would think in order to get good seeds you would need to pollinate yur buds as soon as they show sex, or not long after so they can reach full maturity by the time the buds ripened..

average is 4weeks. on a fast maturing plant it can be faster ( I have had them in 3) but best to give it 4-5 weeks

Shortly after you pollinated your plant, the pollinated pistils should have darkened in colored and receded a bit. You should have then seen the pollinated calyxes swell and appear larger than the non pollinated calyxes. After 4-6 weeks some of the pollinated calyxes should have begun to split exposing part of the seed.
If you have not seen any of this then I would assume, as someone above mentioned, your pollen was bad.

The same way you get bad semen. Moisture also kills pollen.
3-6 weeks is the norm for seeds it just depends on the strain and environment. You can see evidence of pollination almost immediately. The pistils turn brown and receed into the calyx and then the calyx swells and will split as the seed grows.

No. I pollinate at the begining of the third week, and I get nice mature seeds at harvest.
