What's wrong with my Sativa?

Hey guys. My Indica finished and yield was pretty garbage. It was my first grow. Now, i'm working on my Sativa plant and trying to figure out the issue with it. It's been flowering for over a month. Maybe a month and a half.. But it looks like this. It was in a pot about half the size of the one it is in now and was root bound. Transplanted it yesterday. All went smoothly and she seems to be happier.

I am using 6, 1650 lumen CFLs, a flowering nute that is mixed into the soil. (time released, all i had)

Is that what stunted the growth?
It doesn't look like the nodes and stems would support dense buds, is that why it stopped flowering more?

Thank you guys for any help and advice. Pics below :)

Also looks like she is getting too much fertilizer them leaf tips look like they have some nute burn.

Depending how much Sativa she is it can take a while Neville's Haze can go over 16 weeks flowering and still ain't pure sativa.

The lighting ain't very good so that can make her take longer. But overall she looks fine for bag seed sativa unless it's actually a hybrid.

thanks man! thinking she is just VERY sati. She has the thinnest fan leaf blades i've ever seen. Yep this was just a grow using no money at all other than electricity. Time released nutrients are in the soil medium and that's why they continue to look burnt. Currently working on flushing them all out, but it tends to release more, so i have to flush A LOT.
Stay tuned if you wanna see this thing through with me! Appreciate you brotha.

Yeah I don't think flushing will really work too good on time release fertilizer cause water makes them release more and they work for months outdoors.

But I can't really think of a better idea. Lol

Yeah, man.. I really messed up with those, lol. Lesson learned, though! I appreciate your input. I'll post updated pics in a week or so.. Whenever she decides to do something. ;p

She's on 10/14 lighting now and man, her fan leaves look AWFUL. I'll post some pictures tonight. Having some health problems today, but i'll take some pictures of it tonight.

Is this plant going to make it, you think?? :( I could take it out back and run the hose water through it until it runs clear..

From the looks of those leaves, it looks like you've got a long flowering plant there. I have absolutely no experience with time released nutes, but I would just try to ride it out at this point, if it were me.

Thanks for commenting, man! Yeah, it's been almost 4 months flowering and only looks like this. I've learned a lot during this grow, but unfortunately, what's done is done.. I will keep her going til the end. I'm worried she's coming to a halt though. Still very few trichomes, but that top cola has wonderful weight to it.

Hey, guys.. Just a quick update with a few pictures. I am currently on 10/14 lighting schedule and just flushed the plant until the run off was as close to clear as seemed possible.. I also adjusted the ties and lighting, and pruned off all the nasty dying stuff. I am expecting probably a month or so more before harvest? I'm ready for this plant to be done as i'm an Indica fan.. :P
Nute burnt, light deprived and still truckin along..

Anyways, here are the pictures. Cheers!

I thought that leaf curl upwards was a deficiency - is it possible the time released nutes are gone and the plant is now lacking in something?

Dude, good observation! I had wondered the same thing. The leaves had looked like there was some Mag deficiency at one point, then turned completely brown and nasty and fell off. I think i have one large fan leaf left..

The only other nutrient I have right now is some Miracle Grow and it's high in Nitrogen. I can take a picture of it and post the NPK ratio if needed. Unsure what to do from here, though..

I think i figured it out.. Nitrogen Toxicity. Apparently it often looks like a deficiency and causes the leaves to curl upwards... I think i did the right thing flushing it completely last night. I'll post updated pictures and information in about a week. Really trying to push her to be done in a month. I'm over this plant, lol.
