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.
