Yup, looks a lot like my baby Kush (which is an Indica). My originals were clones and didn't develope the big floppy elephant ears till later but their offspring, my bean-born Chocolate Nepal had them.
Royal Nepal Kush
Chocolate Nepal, very healthy (but because it's indoor, doesn't have that dull grey wax).
I personally don't see anything wrong with your girl. She looks beautiful to me and I'd be proud if she were mine. I think we, who dote on our girls, get overly worried about little nothing's. However, I would keep a close eye on that surface to make sure there is no PM. It's my guess that it's probably just that protective wax they develope from being in sunlight. I've seen people on here that were only accustomed to indoor growing get worried about it, not knowing it's a natural defense. I was worried about it too. I searched It and found out it was a good thing.
Now if you're just getting white crust near the saw edges then that is your plant doing a nutrient sluff. In that particular case they are telling you to back off on the desserts, lol.
