What Strain am I? (pics!)

Alright, so I have a little challenge for anyone here who considers themselves a real expert MJ identifier.

I am growing seeds given to me by a friend who's grow room accidentally got seeded. He was growing the following strains:

OG Kush
Master Kush
Pure Kush
Black Master Kush
White Widow
Blue Dream

The tricky part is this: he's a total stoner and doesn't remember (sigh) which of his plants was the one that hermed out and seeded the others. So I am 100% sure that the parents are from the above group, but have only my guesses as to what specific strain they are.

We'll start with this beautiful girl (pics 1 and 2). She grows taller than the others, has less pronounced branching, and pod-shaped colas that smell mildly like berry and lemon. Bud color is darker green and less hairy than the others.

Next up is pics 3 and 4, this girl is stouter, less healthy overall (you can see the messed up leaves, minor nute and mite damage), with more spear-shaped nugs, and a heavy floral smell that reminds me of lavender.

Finally my favorite is in pics 5 and 6, its an even mix of the other two in terms of structure, very healthy and vigorous, with a mild skunky smell that's also sort of floral (sorry if I'm bad at describing smells). Note the prevalence of long pistils all over the flower even at week seven.

So basically we know that they all have the same "father" (really a hermed mother), and that they could have different or the same mothers, my stoner friend wasn't sure (sigh). I have my own guesses but for the sake of the thread's objectivity I'll keep them to myself for now.

What do y'all think the genetics are?

(NOTE: THESE ARE THREE DIFFERENT PLANTS, NOT ALL THE SAME GENETICS)

Forgot to mention, it would also be helpful if you could predict a date of harvest based on the pics at seven weeks (day 49).:bigjoint:

I'm not answering your questions, but I am trying to help. Whatever the parents were, the resulting cross was ????xherm. I probably wouldn't work with that strain in the future unless this plant finishes up without trying to herm itself. Then I'd try toguess it's parents from the flavor. You have 7 strains, 5 of which are some 'kush' and all of which are hybrids with indica genes. ID by sight will be no more than a guess. Keep in mind that if both parents passed on recessive genes, then the offspring may not resemble either parent at all.

Thankyou for the reply, definitely helpful. As for the hermaphrodite genes, perhaps I should have mentioned that the herming was caused by environmental stress very late in the flowering cycle (the plant outgrew the canopy and plunged its top cola into 24 hours of darkness for weeks 8-9). I believe this preserves the original (female) genetics and gives you a female/female cross with feminized seeds (I sprouted 20 of them and all showed up female, anyway).

their is no way to tell strain, by looks, smell or touch, it is a sativa dom. though, but thats it,

Loom like a branchy kush to me. Which one? Dunno. Good luck, smoke well. Cause regardless, its fire! No MIDS there bro..

I agree with you about the environmental stress. I will revise my previous comment to say that the resulting offspring will be likely to herm under similar stresses.

I'll also say that the blue dream being the most sativa may be the most likely to have offspring that show sativa pheno, but still doesn't make it any easier to ID.

1and 2 are sativa dominate 3and 4 are the same plant and indica dominate 5 and 6 are sativa but have that indica oil to it 's leaf,to bad ur friend is an idiot and didn't mark the plants! indica is about 8-9 weeks and sativas 12-16 weeks so the first one will flower longer and the last one is up in the air i think maybe 9-10 weeks or so get a mag glass that is 15x a cheap one and look at trichomes 50/50 foggy/carmel and that is the real time to harv. when plant tells u it is ready and it is at it's peek at 50/50 so say the best in the bizz!! and my experience tells me the same thing!!GOOD LUCK BRO!!
