Default crossed Beist B1-15 F3

I only started two of these Black Early X Indian Stripe, to see if the earliness and productivity were fixed and if so, bring it on another generation while my friend is growing out another dozen of the F2's. Only one has flowered early, the cluster configurations are not a match, and the flowers shown below are a red-type I believe with warm orange colour at maturity, so I think this seed lot was crossed. Sadly both plants also seem to have inherited sensitivity to cold temperatures from the mystery parent, since both of them purpled severely after a couple of frosty nights when the temperature went down to 44F - no other plants were so affected.
Worst of all, I didn't save different seed lots separately. Either I have to grow a lot of them to find the uncrossed, or I have to go back to the F2 and start over.
