Confused on my babies..sativa or indica?

Here is my story. At the beginning of Oct I germinated 3 different strains in paper towels & planted the 6 (out of 10) that sprouted. 1 sprout was from a seed about 2 years old I found in a my old tin. The other seeds I got from a buddy & he said they were medicinal shit he got in California. He paid $85 for one 1/4oz & $100 for another (different strains I'm assuming). I'm growing in a 2x5 closet with 6 48" fluoro tubes & 4 pretty big CFL's that hang & I move around as needed. I vegged for 2 months & put on 12/12 time on Dec 6th. Luckily only 1 of the 6 was male so I pulled it & made a Christmas tree out of it. All my girls are doing great but I'm confused about what they are.

The one from the 2 year old seed is short, about 2' above the planter, is Christmas tree shaped & VERY dense (& budding from EVERY node I might add). I would think this is an indica but the leaves have long, thin fingers like a sativa. My other 4 girls (the medicinal stuff) are much taller & more lanky with about 3-4" between each node, typical of a sativa but the leaves are more stubby & broad like an indica...according to my research anyway. This is my first grow & I would really like to know what I have.

In the group pic you can see them all. The different strains pots are marked with dots to help me ID which is which. The short indica with sativa leaves is on the bottom right. The close up pic is of the same plant for a better look at the leaves (note the other plant in the background, that's how all the others look, short & broad leaves). Third pic is my male Christmas tree posing with my buddy Miller.

If anybody has a clue here please let me know. None of my research is helping. BABY XMAS.jpgBABY1.jpgBABY2.JPG

It's getting harder and harder to find a pure sativa or indica. Also, there are landrace strains that exhibit characteristics of both types so even pure, uncrossed strains can be a mix of the two. The most anyone can do these days is say a plant looks more one than the other. You appear to have what may be a 60/40-50/50 sat/ind cross imho.
