Can people ID strains by appearance?

What do u guys think this is?
I got gifted two plants and have no idea what they are. This girls is super loud super potent.
Sour fuel with a grape/grapefruit undertone

First one

Those pics remind me of one of the Grom BX1's I just finished.
The smell was a strong candy grape through mid to late flowering.

Looks nice T~P. :yes:

reminds me of PurpIndica or a Hawaiian Indica...they both carry some of those traits like fuel-perumy grape-fruit tones...I can really kinda see the Lav meat expression in that PI displays...
Urkle not sure tho...Urk usually loves nitro enough not to geek out like that..PInd will geek out like that easily...as do HawIndos...if you've grown Urk or GDP and this plant seem non related I'd explore PInd lines to compare...
or could be Lavender Soma style to...
just 2 pents...happy hunting

I can tell sativa from indica (most of the time) but I have never been able to determine what strain a plant is...
good looking plant in the photo.

i say unless u know the grower u dont know what ur getting period. lol..... because u have people that think pulling a seed out of a pound of AK47 means that there seed is going to be AK47 .. when it could either be.. an S1 .. from a herm ak47 if 1 strain was grown.. or it could be a cross from rogue pollen from making reg m/f seeds.. or it could be a different strain hermed and made that seed on an ak47 flower making a ak47 cross.. so this grrower plants a seed.. not knowing anything but the name ak47. grows it out.. turns out ok.. but then passes it out as AK47.. either clone.. or making seeds with the plant .. and now we got a unstable batch of seeds.. were the lineage is complete bullshit.

this is y.. unless u popped the seed yourself.. or u had the harvest and had a herm and u kno what strain hermied and it was only 1 strain that hermied then u can know to an extent .. as to wat it will be..

but looks? its getting increasingly difficult over the years to identify a plant by looks..

this is why i hope some1 researches a way to get the plants DNA .. or a terpine profile.. or say.. terpine profile combined with the plants DNA combined with THC CBN CBD levels.. to actually get it down to a science so we can find out EXACTLY what the lineage is on a plant just by sending it into a lab for testing..

this is what i hope happens.. i would love to see all these So Called Breeders EXPOSED. .
