culling later flowering phenos

[420Alaska]

Greetings from Alaska. I'm a small time breeder up here who has been messing around with trying to make quick flowering strains that can be light deprived outdoors up here since we get 20 hours of light in summer.
I have been harvesting my seeds just a little premature, in hopes that I will eliminate later flowering phenos. I'm not exactly sure the science behind it, and was curious of your thoughts on if this is possible?
when I harvest premature,many are totally ripe, others are not, and others are totally immature. I personally feel that all the ones that are immature seeds are the later flowering phenos, and by harvesting a little early for several generations, I have basically eliminated any later flowering pheno's.
If I plant a small plot of F1' testers, I don't seem to have later flowering phenos that aren't done when the others are.
Your thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated.

Are you talking about different stages of seed ripeness from the same plants?

Seed maturity is dependent on when they are pollinated and the time it takes for the seed to mature, usually 4 to 5 weeks.

Not sure I’m understanding the question.

What you're trying to do would probably take too many generations, if it is even possible.


Why not just grow autoflowering varieties that can flower regardless of light hours?


There

I think I misunderstood the question... disregard my last comment

What you're doing now is choosing the plants that produce seeds the quickest and not the ones that mature the fastest. The only way to be sure you're selecting for overall maturity is to actually grow the plants through their entire life cycle and then only use seeds from the fastest girls that have proven their worth because harvesting them early doesn't tell you anything about the plant. You don't know how good it's going to be, what it's going to smell or taste like, how drawn out the maturing process will be, etc. but what you do know is that each generation will make seeds faster than the last.
