Yes indeed, it may be that it is simply a paler plant, it is something that I have wondered. She is a photoperiod so she's now not got a lot of time to bulk up with flowering so close. I'll still be pleased if I can at least get a little bit of quality bud from her to smoke test the strain.
Thanks BC. So far I haven't fed them at all except for a little Blood and Bone to the Strawberry Cough that I mentioned above. However, over Winter I re-amended the containers and let them settle, and in a sort of super soil fashion I put a 1" to 2" layer of composted chicken manure in the bottom of each pot. The Mango Sherbert and especially the Godfather OG both look pretty good so I am reluctant to feed them anything if they're happy, but I will give them a top dress if they start to pale off.
I am certainly open to that possibility. I have not grown a plant with as high a sativa % as this one is stated to be (80%). I remember Emeraldo was growing a plant last year that began flowering exceptionally late and wasn't harvested until I think late November, (late May for us down under). It would be great if she was just naturally pale and building roots. Hoping so!
And you say to yourself "I like it, but I hope it doesn't go on too long"...
Thanks Carcass. I was only recently looking at my grow pics from last year to see that from now until the end of the month they grew over a foot/40cm, I can see them starting to gallop now!
I remember seeing a run of pics that Shed did, showing how he had super cropped and pinched and crushed here and there where he wanted to shape the plant, so I was having that idea in mind. Cheers Shed haha.
not bad buds either for stunted autos 
gonna chop them down and hang them as I've no room , they will have to mature hung lol ill have them over my tent as its a loft tent to catch seeds that may fall out
Tomorrow if the rain lets up, I should have a window of undisturbed opportunity to do some canopy flattening. The suggestion of the weighted paper clips is a good one, but we can get quite strong winds hitting the balcony it can move weights and stems around where they end up elsewhere on the stem where you didn't intend and perhaps scrunching some future bud growth. I will probably just LST them in place. I was hoping by selectively semi crushing the stems in a supercropped manner that I could slow down the stretching but this girl, the Godfather OG is not really slowing down.What carcass said! I use an unfolded paper clip just beyond the bend with a binder clip on the end, with just enough weight to keep the bend are 90º. Works like a charm!
Nice plant
Thanks AlmostHeaven, I'm now at that stage of wanting to check all the timeLooking solid pal! Keep it up cant wait to see what comin
Cheers BC, I need the supercropping for stealth too. Yell out if you see anything like those plastic doodahs in the pic above locally.
I don't think my reversing worked on the CBD Express auto. It was certainly worth a try, which I did so for 28 days. Who knows I might find a seed in her buds like you, but I won't be holding my breath for it haha.Picked my first seed out today , buds and seeds
I haven’t seen any but I suppose I could just model and 3d print some if there’s none about. I’ll keep my eyes peeled...Tomorrow if the rain lets up, I should have a window of undisturbed opportunity to do some canopy flattening.

@nickeluring who does some wonderful balcony grows with autos, showed a cheap plastic device that fits over a plant stem requiring a 90 degree bend and like a bendable plastic straw it holds it's position. Unfortunately I haven't seen that product locally in NZ, but it looks spot on for what I am trying to do. I'll post a pic of his if I can manage it.

They look like they work well and may simplify the process when you want to 'bang in' some angles to stems. The proof's in the pudding of course.
