bad Nirvana seeds? Skinny, curly, leaves and weird non-buds after months in-bloom

I was given a 4-pack of seeds just titled "nirvana" not "nirvana special" or anything and they were all female but they all grew very strange in comparison to all my other strains. ALL 5 of my other strains did perfectly fine and have yielded some delicious and POTENT nuggets!
I've been using really good LED floodlights with the proper kelvin and warm/cool temp, feeding them all a good, plant-based nutrient schedule, taking breaks often, but always using cal-mag, watering regularly, monitoring humidity and temp, etc. I had a mentor set me up with a really strong veg/bloom system recently but even he was baffled at this one strain..
Each of my Nirvana plants' leaves were extremely thin and curly, compared to all the others. After several months in bloom, I noticed that instead of normal flowers, the huge colas were just producing these weird bud-like structures, with hairs and white calyxes protruding, but absolutely no bud clusters or obvious trichomes.
They are NOT males either.
However I did suffer a bout of spider-mites, which did a number on a lot of my yield but I've since fought them back with neem, takedown, ladybugs, and predator mites. The rest of the plants survived and yielded lovely.
I think maybe the strain/package could be a joke or a slip-up from some grower? I attached pics of the plant once I gave up and removed her from my 5x5x8' bloom tent - as she was starting to smell like hay and several of her classmates had already gone on ahead to yield while she stayed producing...nothing?
The photos show some formerly-bitten leaves and dried stalks because I stopped caring for her once I brought her outside.
Namely, I want someone to look at the size of these colas and how they have no buds - WTF?
Can I even produce hash or anything from this bush of non-weed or toss in the compost??

poor plant, it looks very stressed. what is the light cycle where you are at, do you notice any sacs? I'd harvest those wimpy buds and maybe do a bho run on them but fuck the leaves they are too messed up.

looks very much like ruderalis to me maybe the seeds had more of the ruderalis genes in it than what it was crossed with? would make sense if auto flower.

thanks for taking a look - she was in a bloom tent for over 2 months at 12/12, getting taller and bulkier - I had to bungee the colas to the lights they were so long and heavy (with WHAT?!).
Again: she survived spider mites but her leaves were always weird and curly and she always seemed dry and underwatered no matter how many times I soaked the air mesh (and inevitably the entire tent!).
Another member here suggested in a diff thread that I had nitrogen poisoned her during her second half of flowering, except she was weird and wirey from the beginning.
You might be right with suggesting ruderalis, except I never saw her try to flower when in veg (2-3 months) and she got really tall, despite the descriptions of it, and no natter how long I pushed her at the end of the bloom, the buds never filled in and her once-semi-floral smell turned to hay smell so I threw her outside.
I might try to make BHO or use the ice method after scrapping the leaves.
thanks for the info!

no problem! good luck with the extraction. would love to know how much she yields.
