What happens if u have 3 different male varieties pollinating a single female variety?

Will the plant hold seeds from multiple males? Or will each seed have traits from all the males?

Whichever pollen contacted the stigma(hair) will be the father of the seed. Many times I have taken a q-tip, gotten pollen on it, and knocked up a branch. Labeled it, then got another q-tip, dipped it in different pollen, and knocked up a different branch. When I planted the seeds the influence of the male was apparent in the offspring.

Of course. Seems like I read that before. I bring this up because I saw some quadruple crosses at a dispensery and wasn't sure how that came about. Any ideas?

Yes they crossed a hybrid with a hybrid. For example NL x ww as a mother and sour bubble x gg#4 father, so it would look like this (NL x WW) x (SB x GG#4). Hybrid x Hybrid.

Yup, that's what I was trying to tell my buddy. Thanks. I think he got confused when I tried to tell him about PEMDAS.
