    Default Showing genetic mix... Is this common?

    Hey all,

    I am 5 weeks into my first grow of autos. I got the seeds from a trusted seed bank (Same one I get my photos from). The genetic mix is 60% Indica, 30 Sativa and 10% ruderalis for my 3 different strains. (Candy Cane, Train Wreck & Early Miss). I am growing in soil in 3 gal custom made smart pots under 600 watt HIDs. I thought I had f'ed something up because some of the girls from the same strain looked very different. What I am seeing is 4 of the plants look like the Sative, taller plants with thin leaves and excessive node spacing while the others are short with wide leaves and tight node spacing like the Indica. Other than that, they are acting like the auto should...

    Not that it matters at this stage of the game but I am wondering if this is normal.

    The plants are showing different phenotypes, Some leaning more towards the sativia side of the genetics. It's nothing to worry about it happens when growing from seed. The more stable and worked the genetics are the less variety you will get

    You'll not get a more complete answer than that

    Thanks Blue! I was more curious than worried but now maybe a little excited :-) I should have more of a mix than planned for.
