Does My Plant Look Like an Indiica, or Sativa?

Hi, this is my first post here so bare with me. I bought this clone a couple days ago and and planted it in a soil mix. Its running on 24/0 hours of light and seems to be doing very well. Ive been giving it small doses of nutes and will continue to up the doses. I wasnt told what strain the plant was when i bought it, so im just wondering if anyone here may be able to help me? Thanks

Hard to tell being that young. Once it starts growing more it will be easier to tell. But My guess with the way the leaves are shaped. Indica. Probably some sort of mix. It's young so won't be needing to much nutes yet. Don't over feed it. Also tone it down to 18/6 or 20/4. Give them a little rest. Good luck Hope that helps.

Thanks that helps alot, im only using 1/4th of the nutes recomended dose, so im starting them off low and getting them used to it.

Good at least your not feeding them at full dose yet. Since its so young don't feed every watering though. This will help. Curious what nutes are you using ? NPk values ? In general India has short fat leaves and sativas will usually be thin and narrow as well at tall compared to indices. Good luck

Not bad decent enough for veg. Maybe something with a little more k in it would be good. Ideal for veg is a 3-1-2. Flower would be more of a 1-3-2 but still add more n to keep your leaves green till harvest time. Check out the site it gets posted a lot here. Great information on nutrients and how they interact with each other . http://www.totalgro.com/concepts.htm Hope it helps. Good luck

Yep, I see indy dominant as well.

Personally, I wouldn't take the advice to tone down to 18/6, unless your electricity bill is a concern, or you have other specific reasons for doing so. No need :)

^ There has been way to many debates about what to run while veg. 18/6 20/4 ( what ill use ) and 24/0. These debates go on and on. Just do a search and see. Why do I run with a dark period? Because that's what's supposed to happen. More things are happening in the plant with a dark period than you think ( look it up ) its science so why cut it off even for only 4 hours ? What's the benefit to running 24/0 ? I mean I know the plants will do fine and do not need a dark period but still If you have any scientific research not just what you think or see please send it. I'm interested Real evidence please. I'm always open to new material. Thanks.

The dark period is what stimulates the female hormones (and sexual maturity). Look it up on the web. And recommended temps at night compared to day (to aid the female hormones). You might stress the plant with 24/0 (seeking out CO2 around the clock).

Plants do something's in the light, and other things in the dark. It's all about getting the right balance.
I've run 24/0, 18/6, and recently outta curiosity tried the old Skool Gas Lantern Routine: 12 on/ 5.5 off/ 1 on/ 5.5 off.
Conclusion
24hr lighting produced slowest rate of growth with the tightest internode spacing.
18/6 quicker rate of growth to 24hr but more stretch/spacing between nodes. Healthier looking plants in general As well as less electric used.
GLR fastest rate of growth, with the healthiest looking plants, and tight node spacing.
