Sativa or Indica Dominant Characteristics - Plant ID?

Aleatoric
Aleatoricstarted grow question 10 months ago
Alluding once again to my sloppy method: Which is which? One is Strawberry Gorilla Auto, (Sativa dom) and one is Banana Purple Punch Auto(Indica dom). Do I have them backward? Tried to keep seeds straight. Based on leaf shape? THX!

once interbred it gets jumbled, see process of "meosis" so, at that point hard to say one or the other is specifically indica or not because that's just a matter of coincidence that those traits were correlated with a particular plant in a particular region etc etc.. the lankiness is not the cause of any perceived different in high, for example.. merely correlated due to how it evolved in that population of plants. the 2nd picture is clearly shorter and stockier. Historically that would be the "indica"... but once interbred, you could potentially have very sativa traits that are less susperficial and a short stocky plant that resembles a former "indica" classification despite that fact. These are low-resolution terms that don't always tie to reality of what is occurring. if the descriptiosn say one is short and stocky, that 2nd one is most likely that strain... can't be 100% certain, but it is the best guess.

mostly you know that from leaves, sativa slender longer, indica wide shorter. Whole plant is sativa taller, higher, buds are mostly airly longer. Indica smaller then sativa, bushy with fat buds. Its vissible on your photos

Maybe the smell will be a factor in determining what one is what. Are their notes that one plant is said to have the other will not? eg chocolate or flue vs fruity or piney? When I read purple punch auto I would like to think its going to get some colour to it, that could also be used as a indactor on whos who. I agree with the below statement, its all muddied and hard to tell on structure when shits interbred. but under classic canna ideology shot n fat leafed is indica and tall and thin leafed is sativa. Good Luck!
