Sounds like they sold you some F1 beans like the ones I'm growing out now but I know they are F1s because I made the cross between an auto and my fave photo. The auto is Purple Jem, (Mazar x LowRyder) and the photo is a cross I did years ago, (Kali Mist x NL#5). I sprouted 6 back in June and two were males that both flowered around 6 weeks under 20/4 light. The girls have more flowers on them than just what pre-flowers should be but haven't gone full bloom so I'm going to 12/12 them and cross all 4 with pollen from both the males.
Hopefully when those beans, F2s, get grown out that the majority of females will autoflower too. Then I have to do some more research about how to proceed to further work with them to get the best of the cross stable.
I'm going to be sprouting a lot more of the F1s very soon but they are going 5 - 8 to a 2gal pot to be grown SoG style just to get a quick crop in the new year. Any that really perform will get a bit of the same pollen and those beans added to the other F2s to increase chances of finding the "one".![Smile :) :)](/styles/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Anyway F1s are unstable and some will be stronger in the traits of one parent or the other while about half will have a blend of both tho those will not all have the same genes either.
