Querkle - Quest for a Mother

I am on the quest for a querkle mother. I started with 6 seeds. 100% germ rate. Ended up with 3 females. 2 grew identical and faster then the 3rd. The 3rd one grew slow and took longer to get preflowers. I am at week 7 and I noticed that the short one is curling pistols in and producing seeds rich green in color. There is no male anywhere. The males were cut in veg weeks ago at the very first signs of gender identification.

They were grown in DWC under 400w. The only stress they endured was room and res water temps temporarily climbed too high on 3 occasions. I have cuttings from this pheno in promix just chilling.

What I want to know is should I give this pheno another shot? Is the stress she endured enticed her to produce the seeds? or is it a bunk pheno? If not a bunk pheno and it is a result of stress what kinda smoke will that pheno produce?

The other pheno (taller faster growing in veg ones) are frosted out like crazy! The tips of the cylaxs are tinged purple. Very beautiful plants. Once I have a keeper mom im going to grow in Promix hp in 3 gallon tubs. I am extremely impressed with querkle so far. Any response from anyone would be appreciated.

You probably missed a stress nanner somewhere or maybe some leftover pollen from a previous crop. I think every pheno deserves a couple of runs unless she's a full-on lady boy. Then it's compost fodder. No light leaks?

Upon closer inspection my tall frosted out phenos are seeded out too. Talked to some people and I have come to learn that the stress they were subjected to indeed made them go hermi. I didn't know plants could hermi this far into flowering. I will be more cautious next time.

I got the same, not so nice, surprise one grow as well... I stressed two plants during their veg state, and later down the line bout week 5 or so, I had beans everywhere with no male in sight. Sucks after all the hard work, but it's a part of the game. All the Best going forward!!
