Leeza1007,
Don't worry about what strain it is. First off, unless you bought from a top-shelf distributor who uses pedigree to sell his inventory, the street distributors are going to call it anything they want. Secondly, within each strain there can still be a lot of variance, so any one of the seeds grown from that plant might in fact end up a little different from that plant. No two tomatoes are exactly alike, though they can be very uniform.
If you're concerned that you're going to LOVE this plant's smoke and will never be able to get it again, then take a cutting, make a clone and put it back into veg by putting under lights for 24 hours a day and keep it like that. I've never done this personally, but you can research it or ask in the Advanced Cultivation forum.
Otherwise, when you smoke it, it might have a particular taste that will help you narrow the possibilities, like lemons or pine needles. Then you can start buying weed with that profile until you find something you think is really similar, and call it a day.

growing it with CFLS? it looks like it to me, with yout light u have in the first pic bottom right. CFL have very short wave length, tahts why you will see alot of streching. People say rule of thumb 100W minimal. I think 200w if your useing CFLS. i roll 400W one plant, and atm im getting amazing results. i also train mine and pluck the lower bud sights to focus on the upper buds.

When my girlfriend started this I went online a and purchased some seed. They were called Blue Dream, I only got 5 because of the cost, AND out of the five only one germinated correctly, and the one other that germinated came up with NO leaves, I was told it spouted upside down... well that wasn't the case as I gently scooped it out and looked at it and there was a root on the other side no leaves, so that one didn't make it...... and the others didn't sprout at all. I just transplanted the one plant, and I think it's a problem, IT IS HUGE! I didn't expect that at all. So I put them both together, should I add more lights? I also took off the lower branched, but again this looks like it's going to take over the whole grow area, maybe I should separate them.
