I was directed here by a growery member when I posted on shroomery. Not only do I love this site but I have a question on a plant. This mother seems quite healthy by site, however it's food leaves are in 3 fingers, I'm new to this so I assume it's a stress thing. But I read quite a bit it can be a strain thing. This is a mysterious strain. She was a bit droopy so I upped the fans RPM, and raised the light as it was quite warm in there (38 degrees +) and the leaves speak out like so in pic. A. looking healthy to me anyway. What do you think people? This is under a brand new 400 watt agricultural light.

Also, do people ever successfully identify a mysterious strain of indica like so online?
Welcome to the growery! Your mother plant looks good, I'd say it's genetics. Did you have 5 fingers before? Or did it always have 3? If it used to have 5 and went down to 3 then that's gotta be stress. 38C is very hot. You need to get it down to around 24C, maybe 27C max. I'm pretty sure anything over 80F will need C02 enrichment. The new growth looks kind of spindly, but that's probably just because it's the new growth. IMO it's next to impossible to accurately identify a strain because there's so many.

The 3 leaves thing just happens sometimes, could be a weird phenotype or some kind or random genetic roulette that was exacerbated by your grow room conditions. 38C is really, really hot - the growth following stress like that is definitely going to be stretchy and spindly but if you can keep the room cool from now on you should be able to recover.
If you aren't digging the mother, you should take a few clones and flower them quickly to see how they do and see if its even worth keeping or if you should just flower it out.
I must bump, got some questions about pruning and now you mention it, cloning. Should I start pruning as now it's entering flowering stage. If so, what foliage should I remove? And what parts can I use for clones? About 2 days ago my room mate change my light cycle to 24 hours. Tonight around 9:00 the timer should turn the lights off and give it 8 hours sleep, this is my regular light cycle (16 on 8 off)
