I never intended to play with autos. I was just going to make some seeds, but you know how that goes…

Agreed, and I think F2 is going to be crazier.

So far, 13/15 have sprouted and 9 have been transplanted.

Two look like they’re done. Maybe they couldn’t handle the direct sunlight and heat. I have 10 healthy seedlings here:
And three living sprouts here that haven’t yet popped above the media.
I think 10 is a workable number, so I’ll kill the other three unless they’re ready to plant tomorrow.

I planted one more, so two didn’t sprout. Then two died before they could turn into seedlings. And one got ate last night:
Basically beheaded. So I now have exactly 10 for my seed run.

I’m down to nine after one was eaten by something a few days ago and didn’t survive. The others are doing really well though, and should be too big to fail pretty soon.

Today is day 30, and it’s time for an update.
This guy showed sex pretty early, around day 21.
Now I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I should just toss that male because 
everybody knows faster-appearing males are bad and should be stricken from the line.
There are just two problems with that. Firstly, if I’m growing regulars for smoke, I want males to appear as soon as possible. So I think it’s a great feature! 
Secondly, the rest of my specimens are female!

I really think this is fantastic, because that gives me more ladies to sample. At heart I am a player… 
Remember recently when I was whining about getting a bunch of males? I keep forgetting that random is random.

An update. I’ve been taking these ladies into the greenhouse at night and bringing them out during the day to be with their sire. The male goes inside the house because there’s no place for him that doesn’t involve seeded buds in my future.
Except that last night it got cold and I forgot to put them in. Anyway, it doesn’t look like any harm was done, though I got purpling on some photos inside the greenhouse.

They’re next to the draftiest window in the greenhouse and getting fall coloration a little early as a result, but I think they have at least six weeks to go.
Most of them have the maroon/blood color coming out in their buds. Hopefully they’ll all get it, but as you can see there are at least two phenos in this small sample.

This is the last DAF from the bunch of seeds I planted back in May. She’s stunted because she spent the first month or so of her life being shaded out by two adult plants in the same pot.
I have come to believe stunts are extra potent. That’s what I’m hoping for with this subcompact plant.
She’s got interesting smells: Corn and fuel.

DAF F2 #1: It was ready a few days ago so I chopped it. I forgot to take any pictures, but a thousand words should suffice, so here goes…
This plant started late and finished earlier than the others. It also stunted due to cold nights. But the smoke is potent. 
Not bad for seeded. Once I had it trimmed down, the entire plant was a bud. After picking out well over a hundred beautiful, almost black seeds, I had enough plant matter left for one very modest doobie.
I smoked it down to the end, about a gram I’d guess, and it was plenty for a test, though I would have normally smoked more. For just-dried, the smoke wasn’t harsh. The buzz was relaxing. My head got light and I felt taller. After about 45 minutes I started getting sleepy, but I attribute that to the seeded bud. Really difficult to think clearly for a little while, but did fine conversationally. Seems very medicinal. I’m back to baseline not more than two hours later.
This one has diesel and fruit-ish smells.
This is what’s left after rolling that doob:
Pros: Potent, pleasant, medicinal. I like the Diesel but it should be stronger. Fast finish.
Cons: Stunted, stayed shorter than others.
Conclusion: She’s a keeper, depending on whether she gets knocked out by another one.
And now I have some F3s to try!

I chopped another mom today, day 79.
Here she was a few minutes before:
I sat down and trimmed her while she was still in the pot. I did it by hand, careful not to dislodge any seeds. Even so, there were several seeds in the pot by the time I was finished. So I just covered them up and will see if I get some sprouts.
Here’s the after picture.
I’m afraid she’s mostly seeds, but I should have enough to test. While trimming her, I noticed a dank, dank smell! I got closer, and it smells like unguentene burn cream (I don’t think they make that anymore, but I have much experience with it as a kid). My wife said it’s strong grape and nothing else. I seem to have lost my sensitive sense of smell.
I’m going to let her get partially dry (just overnight) and collect the seeds after I get back from fishing 
tomorrow. I recently just found it easier to collect seeds before the plant dries.

Well, 
@Frankken_Ford, when I chopped the first one in this series, seeds were just dropping out. So I ripped it apart right away. It turned out to be pretty easy to separate the seeds because the vegetation didn’t fragment much.
Edit: I had to resist the urge to pinch-test the seeds though. But they were nice, dark, and ripe seeds for the most part.

Looks like things are working out nicely for you .
I will have to test your theory, next time im collecting seeds.

I’m wondering what F2 is like, so I planted 15 seeds for a seed run.
