About seeding Autos

[MonkeyGrinder]

So I picked up a 10 pack of regular KC45s this year to get some quick smoke while my photos are doing their thing. 9 out of 10 popped and they're doing ok considering the outside temps and all. About 2.5 weeks from breaking soil anyways.
So I up and decided I wouldn't mind to sacrifice a female to get a good stock of beans.
From my understanding they eventually just die after left to flower for too long (someone correct me if that's wrong please) if that's the case though would it be best to just leave my female and male together until the point where she falls over?
I'm pretty much looking to just let her push out as many babies as she can lol.
Any comments and such will be greatly appreciated

Hi m8,

I only grow fem's so I might not be the best source of info here. Some of the reading I've done online Google, let them progress through their natural life cycle. Nature has perfected their reproductive properties.
Hope you get some good beans!

just harvest when the beans look mature no need to let it fall over

I aggree with Tek you could always sift them out in the end and still have some pretty ok butter at the least. I would say 4 or 5 times getting the generation gap shrink. From experience the 6th gen was the best traits and no herm.

go by trich's, pick out beans n hash em out!

Right on. Thanks guys. Guess I'll just go by trich's then and shoot for 30% amber. Should have loads of fatty beans by then as well. Not to mention I just want to generally see what a plant looks like fully loaded with seeds.
Was gonna order some more just to do a fem bean run as well to get that under my belt.

I'm at a loss to the gap shrink thing and 6th gen? Guess that's something I'll have to read up on.
I'll be making a batch of cookies with what's left as far as the left over bud
