[Lofty]

Hey guys and gurls!

How do i fidn out what starin my plants are ! its a pretty silly question but look i'm new to growing so yeah ! any help wold be good !thanks all!

hopefully someone more educated than me can answer that,

I think and its a thought only that there are 3 types of marijuana and then all those have their own strains,

 

They are:

 

Ruderellis (spelt wrong sorry), basically hemp type plant that has chararistics useful in breeding,

 

Sativa- Most outdoors grown weed is sativa, You can tell a sativa by long thin leaves, usually very tall ie- stalky, I have seen plants as tall as 10ft tall,

 

Indica- This is what most indoors weed is, because its fast growing and small ie- normally 3-4 feet tall, This has fat leafs and in some cases looks deformed even (afghan#1),

 

What have you got?

Sounds like mine might be a sativa by the description u gave me ! but he leaves arn't that thin?

where did it originate from..eg: a pub deal...your mate cloned it ...? and what kind of lights is it under...You ll know more if you bud it and see howl long it takes...how it smells...etc ...then if you seen a few strains you might be able to know what its similiar too...but if its shit..you can peg it and start with something that you know what it is..or sell it to you mate if its really shit.. ::

Best if you can get a clone or two of a trusted source. Or maybe purchase some good seeds through one of the many seed banks operating.Good Luck Grow On ! Oz Daz

There are also crosses between Indica and Sativa varieties, this would account for the leaves not being so thin. Check out "The Cannabis Genetics Index" at Cannagenetics for information on a heap of different strains.

basically you'll be able to tell if its sativa or indica dominant, but you'll never be able to tell the strain.
