I've grown some full sativas that took 14+ weeks from when they showed flowers, 16+ from 12/12 flip. They definitely start out looking less then impessive we will say. This plant doesn't look like that to me, it looks like it has/had issues. Which most likely means it is or was struggling at one point, and most likely that is why at 70 days it looks like 2 weeks of flower.

If this plant bulks up I bet it's going to be another 10+ weeks before it's done, and you might get some buds. If you have room in your garden, then sure keep it as a learning experience. If you are limited on space, I wouldn't waste the time and resources keeping it growing. You could plant a whole batch of fresh seeds tonight and run them 12/12 from seed if you wanted and have buds in a similar amount of time as finishing this plant. Most likely better buds too.

Trust me I get how much it sucks to have things turn towards left field mid grow. Dealing with it is a big part of learning though.

Could be some wierd long flowering, low yield sativa like Dr grinspoon. I agree with growingforfun. At this point if you start over, it will be another 3 or four months before your next batch could be ready, let it ride. Also, please feed it. The poor thing is starving.

I'd say your close to right on the straving bit but it's actually that hes letting it starve then overfeeding it. Check out the yellowing fans and dark green smalls. Even some burn on the smalls.

I'd say a more steady lower feed is in order. Cut whatever feed strengh your doing in half but do it 2x as often vs straight water probably

You over fed these plants in veg with nitrogen looks like you had a huge nitrogen build up add in light issues and your got a foxtailing sativa problem.

Sorry but don’t cut it down why would you do that after this long....flush re look at your lights (time and proximity to lights, light leaks) and go easy with nutes especially anything with nitrogen in it actually try not to use anymore nitrogen. Major leaf burn suggests you went to heavy.

If the issue was a light leak I would be checking for seeds right now too.

Scrap them and start over!

There are 2 stand out issues and one supporting.

#1: Those plants were NOT stable when you set them to bloom! They are throwing only single leaves. They MUST throw at least 5 leaf sets to be stable. Being a Full Sativa it's better to get 7 and at 9 your doing ok. N is a big contributing factor here!

#2: No matter what you say or think. That plant had lighting issues! Too little, some amount of reveg....something and likely a combination of each! I would start with delivered intensity. What lighting system are you using?

#3: As far as any N issues causing that. Quite possible. You did have some excess N at one point. I might be inclined to say that the type of N used and the amounts used are off but, this is the supporting issue..

These 3 things combined gave you your problem.....

Your not going to get any type of properly formed budding...
I suggest you change nutrient lines and get some fresh beans and start over!
May I suggest Botanicare KIND, line. Simple and they chart it very well... Easy to adjust if need be...
Skip the full blood Sativa's till you get some experience under your belt..

Sorry but, good luck down the road.

A couple of my Sour Moon Wrecks looked kind of like that after I went too heavy on the amendments. Buds never firmed up. The other SMW's were some of my best, so not genetics in my case.
