Indica Or Sativa

[GoGreene]

Growing bag seeds.

 

[Stumpy420]

looks more like indica too me

 

[Midwestjay]

Looks like it's Def on the indica side if things.

Thanks guys just wanted to be sure

 

[Jay Reno]

Looks like indica dom for sure

 

[GoGreene]

Its clear now..

Dont see how you could tell, it could stretch to 10 foot tall when it flowers...

I always wonder how many other factors are involved--
besides leaf shape...

Leaf/leaflet shape is not linked to all other traits. An indica dom polyhybrid can have sativa slender leaflets, and a sativa dom (as in most genes from a sativa ancestor) can have broad leaves.

Combined with other traits and knowing the parents it can then still be used to determine in a straight pure sativa x pure indica cross one is more sativa/indica dominant than the other. It just doesn't mean much on itself.

Determining indica dom based on leaf shape is even harder than recognizing sativa dom. I've never seen slender leaflet plants turn indica dom looking, but have grown plenty of hybrids and indica dom that started out like ugly duckling indica looking and ended up growing very slender fans in flower. An example is a plant in my journal I called the "swan" for that very reason.

The stretch and structure is indirectly influenced by the leaf shape though. Broad leaflets typically result in less branches causing the plant to focus more on the main stem, making it thicker and stacking more nodes. This is supposedly exactly why the hash farmers in pakistan and afghanistan selected for broad leaves. Broad leaflets on a sativa dom hybrid can result in stretchy branches. Slender sativa leaflets on an indica (-dom) hybrid results in more suitable for cropping. The more open leaf structure results in more branching, while still producing tall donkey dicks (opposed to indica colas and colletas).

Thanx--
we needed that...

Many times I've seen, ah, a Fharmer;
who has plants with leaves folks prefer over other farmers' buds,
them hash farmers mightta been selecting for--
trichome-laden leaves too...
