Buds don't develop, whats the problem?

Hey, this is my first grow and my biggest plant had some serious issues as it started to flower.
First i had calcium and potassium deficiencies at the same time, now it seems like its overfertilized and the buds are not developing as they should, at least it seems like that.
Can someone analyze if i won't harvest any marijuana and what should i do so the buds develop?

It's the middle of the 5th week and there's other plants, like a clone from the same plant that are developing, in my opinion, way better.
I'll post pics of the plant and the last one is a pic of the clone.


Do you guys think my harvest will be that bad or it will take a lil longer but the buds will develop?

If your plants been battling deficiency and then nutrient burn its most likely been focusing on those issues rather than flower development.

If ya can reign in those issues you should see a marked improvement.

As for yield, the biggest factor there is strain. What is she?

Here's some blueberry cookies (average yielder) at week 3 of for comparison

Honestly tho Imo the aim of your first grow shouldn't be massive yields. Just focus on getting her through the full life cycle and gettin some bud. Regardless of what ya get, I guarantee sitting back smoking your own homegrown will put a smile on your face

It will take a minumum of 2 weeks for those to recover if they do ! Then you have to worry about insect pressure in there weakened state or a pathogen attack.
 
To be honest i planted from a bag of seeds a friend gave me, since its ilegal here and i wouldnt spend 1/4 of my month payment with seeds just to fuck the plants up, so the strain should not be that good, even though it smells nice af. Got 6 of 7 plants through all the way plus one clone, but 2 of them were males. So now i have 5 plants and a clone.. i think i'll not harvest more than 10-15g per plant, to be honest.. but that's it, i learned ALOT and now i have ways to control humidity and heat, which i didn't have.

REALLY BEAUTIFUL PLANT! :) congratz!!

Bag seed is definitely pot luck, and the first way I grew weed, and for the same reasons

15g per plant, with issues, for a first grow isn't all that bad!

I grow organic with dry amendments so I'm not great with bottled nutrients. What have ya been giving them?

Personally when I see burn I give plain, PhD water, and water em till I get about half the water out the bottom in runoff. This helps flush out any buildup of nutrients in the soil
 
Good, next watering will be like that.
Well, i've been using just a little phosphorus from bottled nutrients. I use eggshells, banana tea and worm castings, mostly. Not giving N from now on, but i use coffee for Nitrogen, mostly.
And i give bottled nutrients each 3 or 4 waterings (i water mostly 5 in 5 days)

I grow bagseed bagweed and have no issues. Let's start with the plant health. The leaves in your pics do not look healthy. What are you using for nutes, etc?
 
Im using a led panel made with bridgelux leds full spectrum for real which pulls 315w from the wall, some of it goes to the cooler, so i think its like 270/280w led lights, cannabis specific. But while the sun is up they stay in the sun, so 6 hours of direct sunlight everyday. Light is not an issue, i think.
For nutes as i said i grow mostly organic, with bio bloom and heaven every 20/25 days
But i had some serious calcium issues and it was not only for the lack of calcium, it seems it was an excess of magnesium and overfert in general. But i only discovered it after i fucked everything by feeding them more calcium and by that making the problem even bigger. Now i have a slight potassium deficiency and an overfert.
Should i hard flush and feed, should i feed lower quantity of nutrients or should i stop feeding since theres only like 30 days left to harvest?
 
Bagseeds in my country means u'll have a lot of low quality hermaphrodite seeds since u get the seeds from comercial shitty cannabis from Paraguay and theyre full of amonia. Only like 1 in 25 seeds germinate in paper towel lol
Its not like a bag of random feminized seeds from RQS, its a bag of seeds u get from illegal shitty weed.
