The pollen might not be viable before the male flowers open up.
Depends how many seeds you want- if you want loads then just keep the male plant in the flowering cab and let it pollinate everything.
Or if you only want a few then keep the male separate, collect pollen then pollinate whatever parts of the females you want.
Pollination occurs pretty much instantly- you can wash the female down with water straight afterwards to neutralise the pollen and stop it spreading.
In the pics above- you could do with losing the leaves that have gone totally yellow. They might serve as an opportunity for mold to start.
