Gabriel.. The affects are good.. I set multiple pods on stalks all the time the (Just Witchery) crosses that everyone liked was only done with 1bloom stalk from it. I got 5 flowers from it that year 3 were used to set pods and the other 2 I put pollen on other plants so yes by all means use what blooms and I agree with Neal you could use pollen from different plants on 1 cross but you would never no which one fertilized the pod.. better to just use 1 so you can keep track of parents.
John.. You could repeat any cross you want but you will never get the same results as some one else's but you may get something even better
