Really pretty beez. The only buds I did low and slow kept their color as well. It's one of the bonuses to the process, if you have room in the fridge!
We'll need the smoke report for sure.

I took a few pictures of the six plants growing in the 2 liter bottles. They've packed the 2 x 2 tent front to back, side to side. Not sure the other 3 would have fit in there. Being honest I have no clue what I'm doing. But I went to the thread recommended by Pennywise and it was like WAY MORE pages then I cared to read through. So I'm just going to wing it and see what I get.
Their gonna get big on you the way mine did. I think to do it right we’d need clones.
Question for you beez
I recently harvested a Jack Herrer and it had a single nanner on the top 6 colas and I am finding a few very mature seeds.
I harvested early at 7 weeks because the plant had been yellowing to fast for me.
Being not a full blown hermie, whats the chances of the seeds being from stressed nanners turning out females?
I've also noticed a few mature seeds on the recently harvested WQC which had no nanners.
Pretty mature seeds for nanners showing up so late.

Well........this is my answer to your question. Understand I am far from being an expert, so take it for what it's worth and always get multiple opinions. For me any seed produced during a grow without a male plant involved will be a feminized seed and produce a female plant. Depending upon the circumstances that caused the seeds (hermie or self propogation) I would expect to have to keep an eye out for nanners in future grows with those seeds. That said I wouldn't hesitate to grow them, you just have to keep a close eye on them.
Good advise Beez

They do look to be troublemakers beez. Smaller containers do a great job controlling height and side branching in my world. Other than that I would have to agree with @Pennywise that clones might be the simplest way to achieve your goal. For the time being, you could supercrop the mainstems during stretch and it will slow them down.

Right now I am running the light just as close to the taller back three as I can hoping that will show them down and give the front three a chance to catch up. When the stretch is done I may have to put the front three up on small pedestals to even the canopy.

So, A little re-cap I think is in order. My whole plan with the autoflower plants was fairly simple. Make some seeds and save money. I gave considerable thought to how I wanted to try to do this. I decided to decide which of the four autoflower strains I would be growing would be the "father" (colloidal silver applied) to produce pollen to be used to produce seeds.
The four strains:
Quarter Pounder auto
Stardawg
Gorilla Glue
Tangerine Dream
The Quarter Pounder auto was chosen to be the plant to treated with the colloidal silver to make the female pollen. This was the first of the four autos to be planted.
Seven days later I started the Stardawg plant
Six days later I started the Gorilla Glue plant
And finally 5 days later I started the Tangerine Dream plant
My thinking was that the Quarter Pounder plant could take 10 days to 35 days to produce pollen sacks IF it was going to do it at all. By staggering the starting dates I am increasing the odds that I would have at least one other auto strain that was prime to receive pollen when the QP did actually make some pollen. Well as it turns out the Quarter Pounder is still providing me with teeny tiny amounts of pollen each day. Something I can't see, but hope is happening is that the top bud on each of the four treated branches on the QP plant are forming seeds inside where I can't see them. As those buds started to fill out they all had pollen sacks growing on them. They've now been encompassed inside the buds and hopefully making me some Quarter Pounder seeds. Now I did of course hand pollinate two or three small lower buds on the QP plant. The Stardawg plant I know for sure has some seeds because that is where the one I plucked yesterday came from. This was also the second plant to reach her prime and was pollinated. The third plant pollinated was the Gorilla Glue. It looks pollinated but the seeds, or at least what I think and hope are seeds are just starting to form. The last plant to be pollinated was the Tangerine Dream. So far I've managed to pollinate at least parts of about 4 small buds. I'm tickled to say I believe it worked. Here is a couple pictures.

Absolutely stellar beez! 
And happy new year to you!
Fantastic to them come up
Well done
I for one am glad you did. We can all relax in your behalf now - and you can use that brain space to wonder about something else 
And happy new year to you!

Yeah - I took a note of that as well. Sounds good to me.
You’re very funny tonight, b!
I thought I was stronger then this.............that I had more resolve and restraint. NOPE! I wasted a perfectly good DawgPound auto seed. BUT, at least now I know some of the pollen is working.
Well done

Well this thread has apparently wound down to the end. Last night I harvested the very last of the pollen I can use from the Quarter Pounder auto plant. All of the auto "mothers" are too far along now to live long enough for the seeds to reach maturity. Harvesting will follow the same order in which the plants were started. First up would be the Quarter Pounder auto in probably 3, maybe 4 weeks. A week later would be the Stardawg auto, followed by the Tangerine Dream auto a week later. Finally the Gorilla Glue auto which hopefully has at least 5 more weeks to go in flower. It was the last pollinated with the last pollination taking place last night. The QP, Stardawg, and Tangerine Dream all have visible seeds maturing on them. The Gorilla Glue should start showing some seeds in 10 days to 2 weeks. And just because I could I pollinated a single bud on the Dark Devil I have growing right now. Snapped this photo this morning. She definitely has some seeds.

My houseguest has settled right in to her routine and seems comfortable here. @SweetSue does love sampling lots of different chemovars. I'm pretty sure she reaches a point where she loses track of what is what but that loses its importance after a few bowls.

I love how DDA splits the seed pods after pollination. The magenta with the white streaks are stunning.
Excellent job beez and amazing looking plants! Well done and I’m glad the pollen has done its job from the look of it !So, A little re-cap I think is in order.

Glad you and Sue are enjoying your time together! Smoke em up!
He's doing his best to keep me smoking Dutch. Lol!
He keeps dropping buds into my hand. Lol! I have samples of buds from MrGreene and bobrown14, as well as the abundance of options grown by beez. Whew! I guess someone's gotta do it, eh?
The man's driving passion is seeds. It's a wonder to witness.

Awesome I’m glad your enjoying yourself!
Looks to be some nice selection of smoke haha!
Beez has opened my eyes to seeds and breeding I can’t wait to start my seed making journey this year!!
Love to see some fire come from all those seeds!
Photo drop.
The autos beez has impregnated with pollen he forced from his Quarter Pounder Auto.

Wicked!! What an assortment of sweet crosses you will soon have beez! I can’t wait to start breeding I’m getting antsy!

Looking at the plants they're not loaded down with seeds. But more then enough seeds to have made the project worthwhile. The last to be pollinated was the Gorilla Glue and with magnification I am just now able to see seeds starting to grow. I feel good that I got the timing of the pollinations right and all the seeds should have time on the plant to mature fully.
It's kind of nice to have my own staff photographer.
