Forming Seeds Bud development stops?

Simple Question:

When a hermie plant pollenates itself, like one branch, does that branches bud development halt and then it starts focusing on seed production?

I ask this because I have a pollenated branch and I see a few seeds forming and I was wondering if it would be a waste to just clip that branch off now rather than wait.

Plus I'll be out of smoke here in about 20 minutes, and I'd rather not wait a few more weeks to smoke again.

Thanks in advance.

Nah bro, there's like a week left on it, if that, but I am planning to harvest in stages since the plant got too tall for my liking. It's definitely ready, I'm not like cutting 2 week old bud off of the plant, it's like a 7 week old plant in flowering. Strain is northern lights.

I'm asking because I want to know if the pollenation is going to affect the yield. I mean that is it going to be swelling up more or is it going to be focusing on creating the seeds I can see. I also don't need seeds I have like 6 mother plants and a shit ton of clones, so seeds and hermies to me = bad news.

How is waiting going to make a difference if I can visibly see seeds growing inside of the branch? I'm not asking if I should wait, I'm asking if once a branch is pollenated is it going to keep maturing and growing larger buds? Sorry if I'm coming off as an a-hole, I just need a legit answer. I know about waiting and not waiting, I know that waiting longer means usually a larger yield, but I had a plant before that hermied and pollenated itself and I swear the plant went 3 weeks with no progress showing at all other than bananas and seeds.

Alright cool, thanks for the responses guys.

One other thing, you said they still finish in the same time. If one branch is pollinated, will the other branches still grow as if nothing happened?
