Screwed up auto flower

So I screwed up my first auto flower and shes only 5 inches big , so I was wondering if it would be smarter to pollinate it and get seeds or should I just let it grow bud and smoke it ? All opinions are helpful

I did the same with mine. They're about 4 inches tall, so you did better than me. I'm just hanging in there hoping mine will somehow manage to sprout a load of bud off their tiny frames. It's sad really, I feel bad.

Can't speak for him but no, mine haven't got any taller in weeks, I didn't understand how they work with the tap root until after I'd already planted them in a clay pot. Live and learn. Mine are Mephisto Heisenberg Special and i was really excited to pop them so I'm a bit gutted but I've got 2 seeds left and at least I understand them now!

I screwed it up because I had majority of my lights on another plant and totally neglected this one so I didn't veg it as much as I could have before it started flowering

It ain't pretty
Just be grateful you didn't accidentally foliar feed them and then go away and leave them under light without ever noticing what you'd done so that they got covered in light burn. I feel like they hate me every time I see to them, but the next pair will the best loved auto-flowers ever grown, I promise!

See the thing with Autos is that you actually want to plant them in the biggest pot that you have space for. So If you have space for a 5 gal plant the freshly germinated seed in the 5 gal pot. That pot looks way to small and even if you left it out in the sun all day long it wouldn't have gotten much bigger to be honest.

To answer your question, that I've just realised I totally missed, I'd probably try and get some seeds off it if you're going to want to try again; I'm really not confident enough to be playing about with breeding yet but I'd have done that if it'd been an option. You'll still get some bud and, potentially, enough seeds to practice on to really get to know the strain and master it.

Hahahah........I'm really sorry for laughing, but I did the same thing, maybe not quite as serious as yours though. The Mamba negra auto is finished and just been defoliated, I'm gonna chop and hang it later

I screwed up my first grow/autos as well. I felt terrible. I started with 5, one turned out to be male, then two were ok and two were larf. I say grower error. Wrong medium, really botched the whole nutes thing. Now I have a new 6 (4 photos, 2 autos) seedlings at two weeks old. Hopefully I won't fuck these ones up. Ugh.
I wouldn't try to pollinate by the way. Not worth it. Just start with some new beanz and try to learn from your mistakes. If you look at it if the grows had gone well you wouldn't have learned anything, right? :)

Yea, plant them to final pot.

You will like the Heisenberg. Its good smoke. Only two or three hits is needed.

Here is a Heisenberg.

I just figured the thing will give me a couple of grams maybe but If I pollinated it I could get more seeds to grow which seems more logical
