well... for one thing, you need both male and female plants to produce seeds... and, as a tendency of the plants, males are more common than females when growing from seed.

I wouldn't recommend more than one plant per pot - it's a recepie for trouble .

if you want to do a batch for seed, just plant them all at the same time and put them all together (whatever comes up) and let the males do their thing all over the females when the time is right... this will create the greatest gene mix and viability of the seeds.

that's what I'd do....

Dude is right bro. I amde the newbie mistake of planting two beans in on pot.
Your going to need to pick out a good soil if your going to use soil. I was using MircleGro Moister Control for growing my plants. Thanks to this site I am using Fox Farms Ocean Forest I am telling you bro my plants are growing crazy. Be careful transplanting can kill your plants.

You need a dad and a mom to do the boom! So you only need one male plant and a harem of females actually one would do... You can pollinate female in a separate room and kill the dad (black widow?) then have seeds from that female only, rest will be sinsemillia and will have bigger buds than the pollinated one though I'd recommend you to choose the best female and the best male so your seeds will be better quality as your next generation.

If you're looking to keep the strain going- grow them all- then take the best male- kill the others- and the best female- let the others bud- and pollinate the best female with pollen from the male. There's a great thread here on how to "selectively" pollinate a bud on a plant, which will give you plenty of seeds. Here's the link (by Trillions of Atoms):
