Seedsman - Northern Lights verification

Hi Everyone,

First time grower here and all seems to be going well for the plants so far. I've started them indoors under a 2ftx8bulb T5 lamp and intend to move them outdoors in the coming couple of weeks.

Anyways I don't have a grow question necessarily. Instead I'm looking to verify that the plant I'm growing is actually Northern Lights and if so, is it possible to identify what strand of NL?
I purchased the seeds from Seedsman and they were bought as a pack of 5 feminized. Here is the link:

It doesn't have a particularly pungent smell but it's definitely noticeable.

I'm not sure what else to add for ID so if there is something I missed please let me know.

The reason I'm asking this is because the website states that it's a 100% indica but its leaves seem a bit thinner and longer than the blueberry i'm growing. I'm still a newbie of course but I'm thinking it's actually a hybrid leaning slightly towards the sativa side. Also, I came across this thread but it's from 2010 so I don't know if the information is still valid.

Lastly, here are the pictures taken today:

To say 100 percent indica is a tall order. From what I have learned its almost impossible to find 100 percent of either strain. Look at th strain hunters they travel the globe looking for pure strains. As far as telling you what your nl is mixed with is impossible. As far as i know.

Hi Scuuby Snax,

I agree with haloman420. When a seed bank says 100% indica or sativa, what they actually mean is its 90% or more. It is also immposible to know without a doubt what genetic cross your plant is by just looking at it. With that said, I have grown many different strains from seed batches of seeds and I noticed this:

-each seed from the same batch doesn't always look the same (each seed has its own characteristics)

-even clones will show different physical characteristics when grown in different environmental conditions. For instance, an indica might look more sativa like when grown in hot, humid, long light period conditions. Maybe a sativa will have fatter leaves when grown in colder, dryer conditions.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info from both of you.
I'm just going to stick with it and see what comes out of it at the end. The plants are healthy and in the end that's all that really matters anyways, right?
Keeping my fingers crossed that once I go into flower that everything goes as smoothly as it has so far.

I mean its almost impossible to tell you the exact strain, even when its flowering.

I just got done with 2 northern light autos from sensi seeds and they look similar. But hell alot of strains look similar also.
