Can you tell the strains of these plants ?

:weedpoke: Besides pictures, how else can you tell what strain a plant is? Can you tell during the flowering process? or can you tell by specific characteristics such as types of pistils, forming of the buds and the color of the buds? Are there any other site or alterative media that might be available that will answer my questions.

No.
There is no way to tell if you don't already know.
Especially not from a picture.
You may be able to tell if it's Indica or Sativa dominant, but that's about it.

yup, indica or sativa are about the only visual differences ... further confusion is the preponderance of 'names' ... every budding plant these days seems to be 'named' ... to make it worse, sometimes, when a breeder/seedbank sees a particular strain's sales slumping, they just give the same plant a new, 'cool' name, and sales take off again ... :wtf: ...
