Careful there are some people in this forum that would kill you for saying thatTrue, cannabis is just a plant, nothing too special.

I took a few macros to check the trichomes, they still got a while to go. Green phenotypes are considerably more frosty than the colorful ones. Trichomes are perky and thick-stalked.
@revegeta666 expect 8 weeks and don't go longer than 60 days, for the best smoke
it turns quite narcotic after that, so beware
I would suggest you start initating the fade now, and let em dry out a bit
they react very well to this stress with even more frost and strong terps

Really happy about your good outcome @revegeta666 those small chunky males full of flowers were really cute. Most of your females lean towards full or intermediate purple expressions, really good looking females there with plenty of resins, i'm sure the hash will be a delight 
@El Timbo @pipeline the variegation-albinism in PCK is not a virus, we tested our PCK mothers doing that for virus at lab and the results were negative. At the beginning i thought it was something strictly related to purple PCK mother 2002 and its offspring, nowadays i'm more of the opinion that those defective genes were already present more or less at population level, although they are really strong on Purple PCK 2002 and its offspring. What it's for sure it's that such deleterious genes are stronger on the purple side of the femaly than in the green one.
In the case of the PCK released seeds (you are growing), if the variegation-albinism doesn't produce a heavy harm on the growth/vigor/health of the plant then it's not a bad thing at all, since it means its closer in genotype to Purple PCK 2002 which it's still until today is la cream de la cream of the purple expressions of this strain.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience @goingrey
It's always disappointing to get an hermie plant when you are looking after that plant Like most pure indica inbred lines, PCK does not produce in pure form heavy yields or overpowering effects, but the line has many great quality traits such as colors, mold and pest resistance, excellent quality and diversity of terpenes, kind quality effects, great resins, easiness of cultivation, etc .... that breeders cherish and love to play with. I only grow pure PCK like as a delicacy or rarity, but if i want to to enjoy the best traits from PCK such as colors, resins and terpenes, with stronger, more complex and longer lasting effects (and other traits), then i choose a PCK F1 hybrid showing strongly these PCK desired traits, but with plenty of hybrid vigour and yield. As @Hmong correctly pointed also in the practice by first hand experience, best results come in my opinion by crossing a really good pure sativa of long cola flower structures and approx 12 week flowering time with PCK in a direct sativa/indica F1 hybrid.
I really encourage you to keep exploring the line, landraces sometimes need bigger populations to find those special plants that are worth to keep and use for breeding. And not all the people like this line, but most love PCK.
PD: And correct! siete from Cannbioben and writer of the book you mention was the person who originally collected this particular Chitral line in Pakistan in the 90s and introduce her into the western cannabis breeding scene.

after growing so many PCK hybrids @StrongTree Is this the first pure PCK female you are flowering friend ?

your pck looks amazing...nice work! I grew this 2018, purple pheno, and it had such a rich hashy taste...very delicious.

yes sir that is my first pure PCK!....i know after so many PCK x'safter growing so many PCK hybrids @StrongTree
and this week I started flowering 2 more PCK hybrids...... a PCK x KC. and a PCK x Haze
it is nice to see the foundation in the pure form.... this one has an exquisite odor ... i will make some more detailed pics before harvest
I really like PCK. The highest-quality indica that I've grown and smoked.
It has low vigour and yield, potency is just good, but the effect and flavours are top notch. Body is pleasantly relaxed while the mind is invigorated. Heady in a smooth way (the darker phenos), the green one was stronger in a more usual heavy way. They're as heady as a 50/50 sativa/indica hybrid, but in a clean and smooth way. I grew outdoors an almost black pheno, and while it's not as frosty and potent as the more purple-red-green phenos, both its effects and flavors are exquisite. Very clean and pleasant, happy effect. Blissful in higher dose. And motivating to write reviews online Rich hash, berries and flowers flavour.
Didn't have any herm issues with started 7 plants and grown-to-finishing 3 females and 2 males.
I'm happy to have produced little amounts of the following seeds that I'll surely play with in the next seasons:
green PCK female x green PCK male
purple PCK female x dark hashy PCK male
black PCK female x dark hashy PCK male
I also used the same dark hashy PCK male for the following:
Zamaldelica x PCK
China Yunnan x PCK
and the back-cross Purple Mexican x PCK (where Purple Mexican is PCK / Oaxacan, don't know which of the 2 is the mother for this fem release from Cannabiogen); this particular Purple Mexican plant that I keep a clone of is very PCK-dominate, but with hybrid vigour+yield and potency. More spices and lavender than pure PCK. I have really high hopes for the backcross.
This season I'll grow outdoors one Purple Mexican x PCK and one China Yunnan x PCK.
I've already smoked small tester plants of Zamaldelica x PCK, China Yunnan x PCK and black PCK x PCK. And the dark PCK male doesn't disappoint!

My pakis came down today at day 61 of flower. They stank the whole house. Most of them smell like some variant of berries, coca cola, black grapes, similar to most Pck crosses I tried so far. I was surprised there were a few of them with a very aggessive fuel/solvent smell that I wasn't expecting. Production is frugal but resin is very generous. I'm rambling cos I'm tired, sorry. A few pics at random, it's been a very long day:
