Did I Get Ripped Off On These Seeds?

Hi all, this is my first "serious" grow. Ive done some seed chucking and crude indoor growing but this is my first time really trying to do everything right. I got a 5 pack of feminized purple kush seeds from Crop King's Seeds. All five sprouted within 48 hours. They were then all placed in rockwool and top fed fox farm grow big hydro at 1/4 strength in a DWC rig under a spiderfarmer sf-2000 in a 2x4 tent. That was January 16 that they went in the rockwool. Ive been following the FF ppm schedule and not any any issues except a calcium deficiency which was resolved with cal-mag. Anyway the main thing im noticing is the uniqueness in each plant. Leave shape, color, structure, vigor, etc. They are all supposed to be the same strain. They've all got the same treatment. I was even rotating them in the slots every day when there were less roots. Why are they so different. I understand a small bit about phenotypes and all but I was under the impression that a good strain is bread to be stable and uniform. I mean I'll probably only keep the one bigger plant as a mother. That one has the most vigor by far. I should note that i culled one as well that was just way behind all the others. Am I expecting too much?IMG_20220211_182541.jpg

I stopped reading @ crop king
Yep you got ripped off if you paid anything more than 0 dollars.
They are the worst of the worst. Worse than driving a yugo
Noobs always falling for them for some reason.
Here's a pic of crop King 'harvesting' their seeds looking for the bagseeds in the trash and re labelling them as kush.

Seedfinder lists 2 phenos, so yeah it's not stabilized Op.
  1. short, compact, fastly blossoming, indica-dominant Phenotype #1
  2. long, stretched, fastly blossoming, sativa-dominant Phenotype #2

Well that seems to be pretty accurate. Looks like I have 2 of each. The one that I threw away looked more indica as well.

You took cuttings from one of those? And you have it in the same dwc with 1/4 strength ff? On what light schedule?
It was just more of a "why the hell not?" Thing. because i had the two extra slots. I just stick the stem about a quarter inch through the net pot and the bubbles splash up on it and its grows roots so why not lol.... and no I've been running about 1800 total ppm. 18 hour a day light schedule.

Pretty remarkable since dropping cuts in nutrient rich solution is considered the way to fail
But if you have luck
So be it

Hmmm its been a long time since I took a cutting lol. This is how i did it before with buckets but i honesty can't remember if the water had nutes lol. Guess we're gonna find out huh? No big deal if they fail. I'll make more.

Funny story. I used to own quick cars. I had a 1991 VW Scirocco GTII that had been quite heavily modded. This guy I lived with owned a Yugo. He claimed it was faster than my Scirocco. We had a race to the next town and back. I had a mate come along for a laugh. We got there, had a Burger King and a smoke and saw him still on the way out when we were half way back. He claimed I had cheated. The Yugo later burst into flames going up a steep hill.:D
