nice vid, you might want to switch your settings on youtube to private. Unless you want the public to see it.
I do have a question
Why don't you or would't you want to throw some pollen onto a feminized plant? I was wanting to do that to 1 of the maxi gom on my next go around

It depends on how they fem them in my humble opinion. If they fem them by stressing a female, creating a herm, thats no bueno amigo! I would rather they use colloidal silver, and use that pollen on an entirely different female.
From what I have researched, and come to the conclusion, is this does a few things for the breeder.
It opens the genetic pool up first, you aren't inbreeding a plant to itself, you'll prob get all kinds of herms and bottle-necking in the progeny, why not use the pollen from the hermed (by CS, i'll explain why CS instead of stress in a min) female you like (awesome genes) to a unadulturated female (to awesome genes!)?
Why CS (colloidal silver)? Because if you are stressing your plants to make them produce pollen, they have the herm gene to express to begin with, and you are just breeding that in it seems to me! CS works (in my understanding, as is this whole things im writing so im going to quit sayin IMO) like pollution (Mercury) to fish, it fuck thier bio up, and makes them female, not that thats good, but it doesnt involve hermie genes. To me, it would be like a girl taking a pill to produce sperm, not a born hermaphridite. Is the pill healthy for that woman? Problably not, maybe it doesnt affect other stuff, but i dont think it affects the subsequent generations, but time, testing, and documentation will tell.
How do I find out scientifically? Without asking the breeder? (not always an option!) Well, the way me seez it, if the seeds I produce are all fucked up, inbred, prone to herm, etc, it was prob stressed, and may make 1 or 2 good generations, but time will tell. If the kids come out alright, and i breed them and the f2's...3's...4's etc come out as with breeding a non herm...then i'll assume my hypothesis of CS are correct, either way, I'll learn something.
Hope that helps.

These are good points you are making Trich +rep. You are well informed on this subject..
Do you have any experiences using (non-toxic) Aspirin (salicyclic acid) to achieve this effect?

Hehe.. Hasn't worked for everyone apparently, but if you achieve it this way you can smoke the herm if you like 
The pollen don't taste too good though so it's a good idea to remove them before you dry with tweezers..
Some lasers will also induce the mutagenic effect.. I'll look into it for you..

That's interesting, and more easily obtainable than CS! I Might give this a try, though I'm not really looking into feminizing, at least not yet.

So does everyone think that RRF#4 is a male? Is it normal(and/or desireable) for an auto male to flower this early? I know male photos typically show earlier, but in the auto world, THIS much earlier?
this is how i first spot males in autos, This is only from my personal experience thus far, I have noticed (I can't say this is always the case) that the male autos will have a tight center top, even thou it has not soon its balls yet. All the females i have seen in autos thus far look like the tops are "opening up" Again i notice all this before i see the real sex of the plant

I know what you mean here Lyka, it looks like a crown.. Definite give away and does often appear before the lateral preflowers
