Hmm, if the leaves are all on one side and you rotate the plant every day then I would quit rotating the plant. Leave the bare side to the light and see if that makes a difference. I think I read somewhere to rotate the plant 1/3 once a week. I rarely rotate because of the sheer number of pots.

For seeds to set you need a pollinator (are your canes inside or out?) and the canes in question have to be fertile. Some canes are sterile due to their hybridization (kind of like a mule). If the canes are outside you should have plenty of pollinators but if indoors you will either have to introduce some insects or do it yourself.

Here is a Good News Bee (actually a fly that is a good imitation of a bee) visiting B. 'Ginny' this summer.
