Does this look like a Sativa or Indica to you ?

From the leaf stuckture it is clearly an Indica, ruderallis mix. looks like a pretty even distribution, but I would guess more ruderallis than indica. true indica, has more of a round platter shape to the leaf. And will retain that shape even if mixed 50/50 with a sativa.

Indica dominant most likely...
Most plants most of us are growing are a hybrid somewhere along the line...which is why sometimes you get leaves that are somewhere in between, or look like one sometimes and another, another time...
A great way to figure out if a plant is more sativa or indica is to just look at how it grows...thick and low is usually more indica, but viny -ish, or like kinda wispy like structure and you are probably looking at something with more sativa traits...

See the puppy toe shape, those wide leaf blades coming from that, It IS a ruderallis blend, If you know ruderallis and you grow ruderallis, it is so easy and obvious when you spot it. Indica mixes useually will carry the round platter shape even when mixed 50/50 with a sativa. Also Ruderalis would be the dominance here! That will probably grow out to be a very hearty plant. Ruderallis is a tough critter to do harm too. So many of us breeder look for very nice examples of ruderallis, makes nice out door and inclimate weather strains. Nice job, make shure you get a quantity of clones. If it turns out to be a winner smoke wise, you could have something there.

So if it's a ruderalis dominant do I need to switch to 12/12 for flowering or not ? I mean is it an autoflower ?

Ok I think I have to confess something here ! about the source of the seeds, they were being sold as bird food lol. where I live (iran) you can legally buy kilos of hemp seeds in stores. So that's why I don't have a clue what strain is it.

No auto flower is a hybrid plant that was bred from two pure ruderalis plants, from that, the breeders created the base for auto flower. Useing that auto flower base they started blending. The real reason auto flower was created, not to help the newbies grow pot and not screw it up, but to allow growers that grew outdors to grow in climates that can change and turn quickly. Such as the emerald triangle. humbolt, lassen, all around and above susanville all of that, is subject to early winter. We needed better herb to come outa there to compete years ago. So we blended with ruderalis base and auto flower was created, We planted them outdoors and they would bloom as soon as nature dictated they where ready, it did not matter where the sun was. If we had an early winter more than likely we had allready harvested. Ruderallis blended auto flower, made short season outdoor possible. It probably is not an auto flower just a ruderallis blend. Grow it like you would grow anything. Also as far as doing anything diffrent than normal with auto flower. is reeeeeediculouse. The point of auto flower is that you can get it to bloom in any photoperiod squedual. Meaning, it will grow regualarly with the rest of your plants . You don't HAVE to make a special squedual for auto flower It does best at the ol 24 on veg 12/12 bloom. What makes it special is you have a choice. and if your a neewbie it isn't affected too much by scewed up photoperiods.
