Shiva Skunk sativa pheno????

I purchased a few single seeds through pick and mix at the tude. I am currently running a Paradise Sensi Star and a Sensi Shiva Skunk. Both Fems as thats all I run in a small grow tent with with 250 HPS lighting. My problem is the shiva looks NOTHING like the description given by the breeder. It was started 4 days behind the sensi star and now at day 42 of flowering the shiva is 37 inches tall and the star is 30.5! The star is oozing in resin looking to be finished in 8-9 weeks like Paradise claims.

The shiva skunk is tall, leafy, not giving off much odor, and showing no trichomes as of yet. Plant has great structure. Was grown in its natural way with no training. Both are in 3 gallon pots.

there is no way this girl will finish in the 7-8 week range mentioned by the breeder. Just from looking at her i would guess it my go 11 weeks!!! I was curious if anyone has any ideas or input on this as I am baffled.

I have decided this will be my last grow of any kind of older genetics. I believe that over the years these plants lose their vigor or either the breeder screws up the parents but keeps selling seed based on the names. My previous grows have been newer genetics that just blow the older stuff away with potency, odor, vigor, taste and so on. Anyways, any help will be appreciated

Hi Jim,


Hope you had some luck with the shiva? This is my 1st grow ever and its shiva skunk fem seeds from the sensi seed bank. I bought them because the site says they are easy to grow and small-ish with low odour. They were vegged in a wooden box 28hx17lx11w for 30 days, lst'd and scrogged (probably not the best scrog as it's my 1st attemp). They are now on day 31 of flowering under a 125 watt cfl (500w incandecent equiv) so I thought I'd post some pics for you to compare.....assuming mine really are shiva skunk, although no reason to dowbt what it said on the box. there are about 10 colas 15in long from the top of the potting compost and as you can see are frosty and they appeared about 10 days ago.
I hope the pics help somewhat.

shiva certainly has 10-11 week phenos

I agree Unnk, Sensi claims this will finnish flowering in 45-55 days and of the reports I have read it did and some recommend go to 55 and more...up to 70-80 days in some grows. I guess its down to the conditions/enviroment too. Hell I'm just amazed I got this far using regular tomatoe feed for veg and rose feed for flowering!
