Actually I have been going very light on nutrients. The only thing that I have been feeding is Fox Farm Big Bloom 1T/gal every other watering. I only water/feed 1/2 gallon so it's really only getting 7.5 ml of feed. The NPK is only .01-.3-.7 it's almost impossible to burn with this stuff. I was afraid to use regular nutrients because this strain is so sensitive to especially N. The guy I got the clones from grew some giants of this strain and said he messed up using too much N. I think I did the opposite.

i've always read grin is a bitch. i've grown her and thought she was a worthless cunt. when your done with her think of her as an x girlfriend. thats how i felt about her. i would also say you need to feed her. they're sensitive but you still need to feed something more than big bloom. hope you have better luck than i do.
LOL Okay thanks for the info. You know it is an heirloom sativa though. Not so sure if I would call it worthless. Maybe you just needed to show her some more love or had a bad pheno. I've heard a few people say good things about the buzz and taste. I'll keep posting when I find time so everyone will know how she turns out if interested. Really liking some people's setups on this site.

that doesnt look like 6 weeks of flower.
and they need veg nutes. sativas like a lotta calcium and nitrogen. Thats calcium nitrate. Thats in your veg nutes!

I agree it does not look like 6 weeks of flower but it's really the truth. I think because before I had such a heat problem that it made them stunted for a few weeks. Also remember, these are 100% pure heirloom sativa or so Barny's Farm says. I know usually the more sativa, the longer the transition to flower. According to Barny's Farm the flower time is 120 if I remember correctly. Another friend of mine grew this and he told me his took more like 6 months LOL. Luckily i have other plant going with much faster less sensitive strains. I really love these medical laws. Not only can I make my own medicine for free, but I can experiment with these weird harder to grow strains all legal! Thanks for the response friend. Last night I put that and my other Grinspoon in 15 gallon pots. I used half M3 Medical Marijuana Mix soil and half Fertilome. 15-33-38 for the M3. Fertilome is more like a pro mix just peat moss, perlite, maybe a bit of lime. I also added some mushroom compost for the hell of it. Gave them each a gallon with Botanicare nutrients. Just gave it 7.5ml of the bloom plus all the supplements like; cal-mag, liquid karma, sweet raw, aqua shield, hydroplex as instructed except only half the hydroplex as instructed. Botanicare says to feed every watering so I went light with the Bloom. The healthier looking one I only gave 5ml. Also that m3 dirt has a lot of nutrients in it, another reason I went light.

Yeah I think they have a combination of heat stress and N deficiency. Also, they will be slow to flower because the plants are putting their energy into trying to save themselves. At best you'll be looking at a rather lean yield. If they are 6 weeks into flower, recovery will be difficult. When leaves go bad for whatever reason, its very hard to bring them back again. The hope is in the new growth, and 6 weeks in, you really dont have much time for that. Its also in the wrong time frame ( flowering) to hit them with a lot of Nitrogen.
Try to do the best you can with it and use it as a learning experience. If you continue growing, maybe try a different strain altogether.
