Is this Sativa or Indica? Thank you

This is my first successful grow so far. Fingers crossed we get to the finish line. My 1 plant from before had to be taken down (stress, heat etc) I did make some clones of it though.
The large ones pictured are about 4 weeks old, from bag seeds.

Cheers



If anyone's interested, my water sprayers are misters from the irrigation aisle at the hardware store. Just taped and zip-tied to a thin cane/bamboo. From time to time I spray water on to the plant.

It's an indica or at least indica dominant

Id tell you to stop the misting of leaves. They dont need it. I think it makes you happy because you think it helps the plant. You can light bleach the leaves if they are wet in direct light. You mentioned heat is an issue. I think it still may be an issue. What watt light and how far are they from it?

i've grown for a long time and never once misted leaves except when i'm cloning.

I don't mist but I can tell you right now, you can't bleach the leaves by misting. It's an old wives tale. If it were true, every cloud burst on a 100 degree day would result in the death of plants. Every time a farmer spray irrigated his crop during the hot summer it would wilt and die.

Kinda agree with Relaxed, they look kinda unhappy from heat.

oh really, you can have leaves too close to the light and kill em by bleaching. Try it. leaves turn yellow/whiteish and die. The sun is so far away i wont explain it you can look it up.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Heat isn't an issue now as we bought a portable aircon. Sits at a pretty 22 - 25c. If the leaves look droppy, that's because I'd just misted them a few secs before the shot so it could be the weight of the water droplets. I had NO IDEA it could harm the plant. I'll stop doing it now.
They're under 1 600w and the light's about 2-3 ft away. I keep checking the tips of the leaves to make sure they aren't burning / curling. So far so good.

I got this out of high times. For plant distance from light.

Below are basic guidelines

1,000 watt: 16-24
600 watt: 14-20
400 watt: 12-18
250 watt: 8-14

The guy didn't say that bleaching doesn't happen. Just that it isn't caused specifically by those circumstances (ie, just from wet leaves). And that last bit about the sun confuses me - are you trying to suggest that as the sun is so far away it's lumens will be less than an HID lamp?

I am not suggesting anything nor discussed in detail hid vs sun. One is natural and the other artificial light. Heat, wet leaves and too close to an hps light together CAN cause bleaching. I am not saying one time will do it all depends on the plant and the health of it. Just trying to lend a hand as this place has helped me in the past. Random thought, the best place to grow in the world may be Cuba with the perfect tobacco soil and equator light...the day will come when legal Cubin pot may be the top of the heap....

I was feeling argumentative right up until those last two lines. I'm now sitting back chilling, dreaming of cuban mmj plantations. What a beautiful dream!
