Is it possible this is an indica pheno of a 90% sativa strain (DF Super Silver)?

So I got a Dinafem Super Silver freebie from Attitude, and since I'm a huge fan of sativas I decided to germinate that seed and use it as a mother. Well, it's been 24 days since germination, and I have to say I'm a little confused by this plant's growth habit and leaf shape. Here's a photo from yesterday:

To be fair, I did FIM above the third node, so that's why it bushed out instead of shooting up tall. But even taking that into account, those leaves look awful wide and indica-ish to me.

Is there anyone who has photos of this strain around the same age so I can compare and put my worries to rest? I was really wanting something that was essentially pure sativa, and I'm worried I'll be disappointed. If you want more pics to help you answer, there are more photos of the entire life cycle (from day 2 to day 23) in my grow journal, link in my sig.

You could certainly get an indica-dom pheno from pretty much any hybrid (and they're all hybrids of some kind these days). This is why you try and pop more than 1 seed. I just finished growing out some OJ Haze (advertised as "a sativa lover's dream") and there were a few more indica-dom for sure.

But give it time to show it's true expression. Early in a plant's life I find they all look a bit fat-leaved and indica-dom.

yea, i agree.. when i first started my pineapple chunk, i swore up and down i got the indica dom .. but as it grows older...the leaves are looking more and more sativa...

My mostly sativas look mostly sativa from the start, as do my indicas...but when they are mixed you never know what might express itself, and when.

Alright, I'll sit tight and hope she'll get more sativa-ish with age. I'm glad to hear it's not uncommon for a sativa to look more indica early on.

there's that 10%........expressed 100%. hybrids are fun, huh? it could have the Indie leaf structure, with a THC profile that is Sativa. who knows............

DOWN WITH F1 GENETIC'S!!!111!

Carry on.....

grats, now if you could keep the indica flowering time and get a nice sativa profile and high and you got yourself a keeper! not a bad thing imo.

stay optimistic alot of elite strains have been sourced from genetic anomalies of other elite strains.

lol a sativa that looks like a indica pssssssh, its a miss marked seed, it was probibly dropped and was thought to be super silver (which i have grown and it looks nothing like it), and labeled as a super silver and shipped as a freebie, lol think about itfreebies are made avalabile through miss counts dropped seeds and random crap that doesnt get put back in the seed vault prior to storing, breders are not in the business to hand out seeds to vendors to just give away, now subcool seeds i know for fact are fresh viable seeds that do not get repacked or opened, and tge freebies are set-up by the man not the damn seeds vendors

^^^ but i thought that TGA only made REG seeds so when there are freebies (which are fed) they didnt come from subcool himself (thats something i read on here.. so if its misinformation, please let me know)

did i say shit a bout feminized seeds no i didnt " feminized seeds are for pussies" i made a statement about freebies and growing super silver and how it looks

Just an update -- the newest leaves are looking a lot more sativa-ish, though still not what I'd expect:

I'll be switching to 12/12 tomorrow, so we shall see what she looks like once the stretch kicks in. Here's a photo that shows the branching, too:

but u did say TGA freebies are sent by subcool himself.. THEN I SAID.. tga subcool doesnt make fem seeds, and the freebies are normally FEM.. meaning that tga didnt make them, unlike what you said

So this pheno is showing some other interesting traits, now that I'm a few days into 12/12. Of the 4 tops I have as a result of FIM'ing, one is still producing normal (two leaf) nodes, one is producing the "flowering" asymmetric nodes you might expect, and two of them are producing "tri-symmetric" nodes with three leaves per node. Here are a couple pics showing the tri-tops and the asymmetric top (didn't take one of the normal one):
