I am going to make some small concrete block planters, only 3 courses high and wide. I understand you can use construction adhesive rather than a mortar mix. Any recommendations as to the best adhesive to use.

All I can say is that construction ashesive is going to be very expensive, not to mention a PIA to use as it is so sticky. What's wrong with concrete?
I am unable to do brick work with mortar, but would be ok with and adhesive.

Well, if you get yourself a tube of GripFill (green), Pink Grip, etc and a caulking gun you'll be able to see for yourself why it is probably an inappropriate material. The water-based versions such as GripFill solvent free (yellow) might be an easier option, but they are still expensive and I'm not so sure that you'll be able to find an effective release compound for your casting form(s)

Silicone? Or do you mean MS Polymers?
No silicone will be fine to deal with the lateral movement by creating some friction
