Pollen is for seeds. If you leave a male plant in your garden you impregnate your females..your females will then focus their energy on making seeds...you don't want this unless you are breeding

The bottom leaves will begin to yellow when they lack nitrogen.

as for watering - seedings like humidity so watering everyday for the first few days is what i do. after the seeds sprout then i water as needed. let the pots dry completly out before watering. put your finger about a inch in the soil and if it feels dry then water. about every 3 days in half gallon pots for me. but every situation is different.

the first mistake most new growers make is over watering. you can tell when your plants are thirsty they will start to droop a bit.

hope this helps
