Windowsill Syndromes

I did a little experiment windowsill grow with some leftover Trainwreck Auto seeds I had. Wasn't too fond of these genetics overall when growing a few specimens previously in a tent (all plants produced thin flaky bud while others in same conditions did not), so i decided to throw these into some pots around the beginning of the year and see how they would do in a south-face window while trying some better seeds in the tent. Given i wasn't expecting much of an outcome from these at all, a generally more relaxed approach was taken throughout the grow and I played around with some topping to see how they'd react as autos, have had mixed results in the past with the plants stunting and going right into flower.

Anyways, I'm not looking for any help on these I'm just letting them finish up as much as they will, but I thought they'd be fun to share here, specifically one, as my best guess is this is what happens when you expose your plants to weird light cycles, etc... with house lights coming on at night and such. Maybe you'd call this a hermie? I don't see any male parts coming out but it sure as hell has been growing out some funny strands.

these other two I've trimmed up somewhat as they had a pretty nasty mites starting to infest, these buds haven't really developed much at all in the last 2 weeks or so, so I've been flushing for the last week prepping to chop down maybe in another week as we'd rather just avoid spreading the bugs in our living room where a ton of other plants live.

Wow, I'm surprised that they did as well as they did. About how many hours of direct sunlight would they get each day?

probably between 5-7 realistically with a couple of hours padding of daylight but not direct light. A lot of overcast / snowy days too. Up close, only the one pictured there at the bottom grown normally w/o topping has bud that looks half decent, the other stuff is showing the same thin, flaky tendency my previous grows with these seeds had.. unsure how much of it is lack of light vs weird genetics.
