Growing a Plant From Seeds of a Pollinated Autoflower

Last summer I had an Auto Blueberry growing well (had 3 successful grows from the same pack of seeds over 2 years). Parallel with it I had 2 Durban Poison Photos and 3 bag-seed Kiwi Grape (photo) that someone had given me. My intention was to get rid of any Kiwi Grape bag-seed plants if they were found to be male which I did - sadly all 3 were male. Unfortunately I didn't catch it in time as the Auto Blueberry developed seeds (neither of the Durban Poison did). These were all outdoor grows which Ive done in the past (except with the Kiwi Grape). The Durban were not close to the grapes. Needless to say I had a relatively unsuccessful grow between the pollen and mold issues with the Durban's (huge colas).
Anyway...I "harvested" the seeds from the germinated Auto Blueberry assuming they would be a cross between Blueberry-Grape and I currently have one growing in a 2X2 box. Its currently in its 10th week and just started flower and its on 12/12.
I made some assumptions in this "experiment" such as it would be an Auto but 10 weeks in i guess its not. Also, would it be a cross of Kiwi Grape and Blueberry since the Kiwi were the ones that were male? Would the current plant actually be a cross of Kiwi Grape and Bluberry?
Attached are photos of the "kiwi-berry". My knowledge is basic and have had 4 successful grows until the fiasco last summer and now the perplexing experiment im currently on.
Just looking for some insight here. Thanks for any help.

Ok you cant know for sure but it could be the kiwi male also a cross of an auto to a photo in the f1 will be photo dominant with slightly shorter bloom time not an auto you would need to chase that from f3 to f5 seeds to lock that auto trait down if its your wish to make a new auto

Thanks - I wasn't familiar with the f1 terminology etc. so i looked it up. I'm certainly not knowledgeable enough to be going down the experimental breeding lane! I guess it is a kiwi since it seems to be a photo? The blueberry always had a blueish tint to the buds so maybe then will see. I sure hope it has a shorter bloom as it already 3ft and my box is only 6ft. This past grow the Blueberry only reached about 4ft total but the "kiwi" and Durban were close to 7ft. The other thing is prior to this past grow i had never had any experience with males so is there a sure way to identify male/female in a plant when it is in the stage as my pictures?
Thanks again for the advice!

With better pics maybe you can sex em yes kinda hard to tell from those tho and a cross between a photo to a auto will at best only shorten flowering by two weeks ime its usually a week and these things are better outdoors as they trigger early vs a straight photo also this is how seed banks make there so called f1 fast versions its just a auto x photo then feminised when they do it rather than regular same idea tho

That might help you with sex

@conor c here are some more pictures of the plant in question as well as some clones i took off of it. Its way to cold to put this plant outdoors other wise I would, whats your opinion on the plant sex?
Also - I may have cloned when the plant was beginning flower - can you tell if the clone pictures if they are in flower?

Awakening this post for some advice on this experimental "Kiwi Berry" that's in full flower. Per initial post I thought this would be an auto but with no flower at 10 weeks and some advice assume its a photo. The past week or so the leaves have become less full and much more narrow. Its been a while since Ive done an indoor grow and my "grow box" is not ideal but have had good success in the past. Im guessing Ive got three weeks or more to go so... I know these pics arent great but is it normal for the leaves to change so much this early?
PS: Dont worry about the misfit standing in the corner :oops:

Edit: Its in a 3gal pot as i thought it would be an auto. Happy Frog, Fox Farms Trio and Cal Mag. Im on well water and pH has always been sound.

This is what I'm doing for my next few grows.
