The actual product looks nothing like it was described

Hi gang,
I purchased 10 "Shiva Shanti" seeds from Amsterdam. They were described as a sativa/indica hybrid, expected to grow 50-80 cm, low, bushy plant. The result? The plants grew to 6 feet after 28 days of 18/6. They are tall, not bushy. And I'm no expert, but the leaves are very sativa-like.
What gives? Is it something I might have done, or could the supplier have given me the wrong seeds?

you either got the wrong seeds or some sativa ass phenos

What lighting are you using?

Pictures?

It could very well be genetics, but also could be several other reasons due to his set up....like diro said..what kind of light,
how high above the plants are they, how are the temps?

I'm not sure what you are asking. My grow lights are a 400W Metal Halide and a 400W HIS for Flowering. If you meant my photos, the photos were taken under the grow lights, with the white balance adjusted for them. Without the adjustment, my photos look like your profile!
If you want to see the product, I think the easiest think to do is to click on my profile pic, then check out my last 2 or 3 posts.

The lamp is typically 2 feet above the tops. The temperature in the 6' x 2' closet range from 73 at night to 83 during the day. The thermometer is on the wall at about the midpoint of the plant (about 3 1/2 feet up from the floor). The humidity is typically 60% during the day (I've had no problems with mold)

I find you can get a 400 get much closer then 2' with a fan blowing toward the bulb. I usually have my 400's at 12''. The thousand watters go at 2' nicely.
