NOT complaining, but this is interesting...

I'm wondering if any members have encountered this before. I ordered some specific seeds and got them from a well-known seedbank. I also was gifted a bunch of 'free' seeds with my order, and I think the seedbank saw my particular selections and provided me freebies which closely resembled the types of seeds I had ordered (salivas or mostly sativa hybrids). I included two of these 'freebies' in my first grow as they were advertised as 'mostly sativa'.

Now that they are almost 5 weeks along I have noticed something interesting; of the two freebie 'mostly sativa' seeds, one is certainly a sativa-dominant plant with the characteristic 7-leaf sativa fan leaf, while the other appears to be an indica-dominant strain, with a clear 5-leaf indica fan leaf. They came out of the same bag, were labeled as such (feminized) and were planted at the same time. Again, I am not complaining as both are doing fabulous (as are all of the other plants) but I was wondering what members think of this, and if any members have experienced anything similar. Thanks in advance!

Yes. There are broad leaf sativas and narrow leaf indicas. And with hybrids the percentage that determines how the leaf looks must be minuscule and can come from the 30% not dominant indica. Just like they want the branch and bud structure from indica in sativa hybrids. I wouldn't worry much. The true test is smoking them

Hi Jr., I'm currently growing a Bergman's Gold Leave that's supposedly "40-60%" indica, that couldn't look any more sativa if it tried. All of these hybrids are very interesting!!!!!

I have experienced what I like to call "the opposite effect"! Says its sativa strain, grows indica. I believe it is how strong the genetic traits are, like the same in humans, babies tend to grow like their parents..but which one, age really sets in and the true characteristics stand out. Also our growing area can favor dormant genes and plant grows and accommodates the strong gene.

I look at the 'freebies' just as that-free. Sorta like Forrest said, ya never knows what ya got until it's done. So I just treat them as an experiment and see what happens-it's all good.

My Church plants gave me 2 phenos..

3 have the indica based leave and look and one has sativa leaves all over...Hybrids are hybrids....

same strain, different phenotypes possibly.
