Hello cullenperry
It will be classified as a Dtps. any Phal. X Dtps , or the other way around will be an Dtps.
Now to your question about time frame on seed pod.
Depends greatly were you live and the climate there.
I use to live near Byron Bay, Australia. it use to take any where from months to 12 months for pods to matur.
Now I am liveing In townsville Australia i have had pods ripen in 4 months dry seed.Something that use to take me 9 months to get dry seed from now only takes 4 to 5 months .
the picture of your pods are great. keep up the good work .

Aussie - they have now classified Doritis (and Doritaenopsis) as Phalaenopsis but many keep the Doritis and Dtps. names and abbreviations.
See this past thread - Taxonomy question?
