Any crystal can be worked at as P1. What you know is that your crystal is not p212121
It can be P21212 P21221 P22121 P1121 P1211 P2111 P112 P121 P211 P1 And then there is twinning ... Suggestions: Use Pointless or Phenix.xtriage, feeding the unmerged p1 data to decide. Use the Zanuda server with the P212121 data to see if any sub-space group is best. Use a molecular replacement program with the option to test all space groups. A.
