Its been a week, looking through a jewelers loop, its interesting the difference between a developed un-pollinated bud to a pollinated one. The calyxes change to a darker green color than most bud I've seen with the hairs retracting into the them. In the past week noticeable swelling has occurred, though not large enough for a full grown seed. Trichomes have developed too, they went from clear to cloudy so some THC is present however if anything will be smokeable is beyond me, I doubt I'll do anything with the plant material to process it into smokeable or edibles. The one Sour 60 female has been successfully pollinated at all bud sights, 2 male plants were probably overkill but with the physical attributes of both being slightly different ensures a wide range of genetics. Did find out that the Atomic x Cake Fighter is a photoperiod plant as it hasn't started to flower, reason for this is lack of information as it was a freebie. Will likely repot it and put it into another tent for a 16/8 schedule for a week or two, then do a 12/12 to start flower. It currently has about 8 to 9 nodes so it will have to be topped. It's leaves are very broad and doesn't look like cannabis and may have to try growing it outside this spring. However, per answers, it should be interesting to see the late stages of seed development, hoping that it'll produce at least 100 seeds if not several hundred. Being that it's a whole lot of firsts, growing an auto, growing this strain, and growing seeds, it'll be interesting and has been a good learning experience. Did kill off the males as they're no longer needed, would say one male would be good enough for 4+ plants. Will have to try out some other autos, thinking some feminized ones as I haven't gotten a harvest off an automatic yet.

Has anyone grown seeds? If so any pointers or guidance on them maturing, drying, etc?

Pollinate the females very early, when they are just small "tufts" of white pistils, let grow for 4-5 weeks and bingo! Remove the seeds from flowers, either when wet or dry. I like to use a wooden bowl for seed drying, about three weeks, then store the seeds in an airtight container in the refridgerator until planting time. Even just half a dozen branches pollinated will give you 100-400 seeds. Just remember to use pollen from a pure male plant, pollen from a hermaphrodite will produce hermaphrodite dominant genetics in the seeds. The female plants growing the seeds will need good hydration to produce decent seeds, otherwise, making/growing seeds is super simple with no real tricks or difficulties involved. Obviously you will have to grow a male plant first and preferably in another location, unless you want your entire crop of females fully seeded! (Reversing females to make feminized pollen is technical and a bit difficult, much easier to do it the natural way) Pollen can be collected and stored in a dry, dark and cool location, (but not in the fridge!) for later use, for up to 3-6 months with virtually no loss of pollinating power. I use a small paint brush to selectively apply pollen to the chosen female flowers, usually on the lowest branches, that way you can harvest the top of the plant and leave the lower section go a bit longer if the seeds still require extra maturation time. Pollinate the female flowers when it is windless. Fertilization only takes 30 minutes or less and after 45 minutes I spritz the pollinated flowers with plain water to neutralize any stray pollen and prevent unwanted windborne random pollination in flowers you want to be seedless further up the plant. If you only have a small amount of pollen, it can be "diluted" with flour at a ratio of up to 50:1 and you will still achieve 100% pollination, as pollen is extremely fine and only one grain of pollen needs to land on a white pistil for fertilization to occur. Naturally, all seeded flowers are sacrificial, so can be thought of as a stepping stone to a bigger picture. Creating your own hybrids is an extremely rewarding and a fascinating hobby. I have created many strains, one in particular which contain genetics from Gorilla Glue, Girl Scout Cookies, White Widow, G-13, Black Domina, Jack Herer, San Fernando Lemon Kush and Cream Caramel; along with Nepalese, Jamaican, Thai and African land-race genetics too, really is quite spectacular, even if I do say so myself! This multi, multi hybrid has been a few years in the making and has become a real surprise pakage. I am almost satisfied with it so far, but I may introduce a bit of early finishing pure Sativa for a bit more zing! Once you start breeding, you won't be able to stop, as there is always "what about if I introduce a bit of ...... " or "what if I cross this with that, or that, or that" Good luck with your own projects, I guarantee you will love it! Hope this helps or inspires you. Cheers, Organoman.

Grew a strain with 2 known phenotypes, one dong like and the other purple popcorn like. When you get a hybrid of the two where its a purple dong type and it produced seeds, what is the best way breed in order to retain the new phenotype?

You could grow multiple mothers, grow cuttings from each of the mothers and you will find where the pheno you want is concentrated and breed with those. Most genetics are hereditary and will follow down the line. But we all have the family member with the weird nose...I hope this helps...probably total bullshit but sounds right in my head
