Hardnecks and softnecks are two distinct genetic groups of garlic, analogous to "hounds" and "terriers" if speaking about dog breeds, and because genetic mixing is impossible with garlic (you could cross a hound with a terrier) you are pretty much stuck with what you planted (a Bloodhound garlic or a Jack Russell garlic). Environmental conditions/stress may affect growth, but it won't change the genetic makeup of the plant.
