Yeah, Columbo is "the-man". I also love his series hehe. Oh so you've had mother of this cross for cuttings or what?Under the lights offcourse?
Yeah the males and females I used to create seeds were started early to provide cuttings, so when the males autoflowering then I just threw a female in the flower cab and pollinated her.
The cross isn't normally very early - typically finishing early/mid October here.
In the states it should be nice and early everywhere except for Alaska - probably also early in southern/central BC.
