This is my 4th grow, the first 3 ending with varying degrees of disappointment. Last year I purchased some Kandy Kush and Cherrie Pie seeds. I also asked a buddy in Wa. to send me some from his local dispensary. He sent me a package of 10 (non-femenized) seeds of a CBD strain with, relatively, low thc(11%). One of those CBD seeds sprouted a Male plant which I used to pollinate the other 2 strains, plus a strain that my son gave me. It was a seed out of a bag that he claimed was Lemon Haze, but who knows? The resulting seeds are what I'm working with this year.
I germinated 8 seeds in late Feb and vegged them out just long enough to take cuttings, root and flower to determine sex. To my delight only 1 Male in the bunch. The 7 remaining were planted in the yard on June 6th, one week earlier than I started last year's crop.
Last year, the Cherry Pie finished the last week of September, the rest in mid-October.
Here's my concern - while the LH(?)-cross is much further along than at this stage last year, one of the 2 CPx's looks like it's ready now and the other isn't far behind. Only the KKx seems to be growing at the same pace as last year. A lot of the white hairs on the CPx have turned brown and the buds are frosting up. Upon closer inspection I've found clear, cloudy and amber trich's - on the same bud! And it's barely August. There are no yellow or even yellowing leaves at all. I understand that cross- breeding can have some unusual side-effects. Is it possible that the 2 CPx's are somehow autos now?
Included is a pick of the CPx, as well as one of the KKx to show the drastically different stages they're in. Both were planted the same day, get the same amount of h2O and sunlight.
If anybody has experience in this area I'd appreciate your feedback.
(PS- I continued to flower out the clones indoors. I chopped them 2 days ago. Looks like fire but we'll see.)
