I am planning on flowering her 12 to 15 weeks. She is in around 3 gallons of fox farm soil in a smart pot. She is around 4 weeks of 12-12 and she is from a good bagseed. I think her flowers should be bigger by now for a sativa right or not? She is flowering under a 230 watt cob LED grow light.

I cant remember how often to feed a sativa. I don't want to over or under feed her and I don't want to burn the leafs.

How often do you feed your sativa ladies?


First pic is from last week.




Next 2 pix r from yesterday.

Less is more with sativas. Never give them a heavy blast like you would with indicas. I dont veg my long flowering sativas long, so no veg feeding for me. Personally, I do a few earthworm teas with kelp, fishbone meal, rock dust, crab meal and castings. My soil is also fortified with many ingredients, so I don't need to feed much. Just read the plant, if she shows lack of vigour or the start of a deficiency, but her. If she's happy, let her be.

Bagseed huh, was it from a super sativa type but? What makes you think up to 15 weeks? If she is indeed a 15 week plant, she is looking very good for 4 weeks, I would expect less. There is already resin showing, 4 weeks out of 15 weeks with resin already is good.

I was thinking of that amount of flowering time because over the passed several years when I've grown bagseed sativas they seemed to flower between 12 and 15 weeks. I would rather she flower closer to the 12 week and or less time. and I can only grow bagseed because I cant afford to buy good seeds. plus I have several hundred bagseeds that I've saved from over the passed 12 years of what I call good mid grade buds that were nice and green with a great high and good trich coverage.

I think growing bagseed is just fine. I've never had seeds from bags turn out bad...plus there is the a surprise of seeing how it turns out with no idea what to expect.

Hey 55 your so right. and I've stopped feeding her. now just give her tap water mixed with blackstrap molasses.

Also during the dark cycle only she stinks just like a good old sativa.
But why only during the dark cycle does she stink?

New pix soon. I'm making this her official grow log.

600ppm rockwool. then just never plain water.

new pix. the leafs aren't looking too well at all. I'm thinking it might be Magnesium Deficiency or bloom food burn but I don't know. if it is magnesium deficiency would Epsom salt help AT ALL?

Even though I stopped the bloom food on 4-19 it might be too late for her. :(
Is there any to save this one from a quick death? the buds still look ok for now.

She may stink more during the dark cycle because of the rise in humidity.Are you using a dehumidifier?You need genetics bro don't take me the wrong way,that looks like hell.I've seen a lot of sativa type bagseed grows and tried one myself long ago.Big mistake for the most part.Decent seeds aren't that damn expensive.

A pic of the plant without the LED would greatly help for diagnosis.

The first thing I see is leaf twist, which points to pH issues.

Make sure to pH the water properly, 6.5-6.8 for soil.

I would feed the plant a bloom nutrient along with cal/mag, ph'd properly.

Hey.
Your plant could be over-watered abit. Haven't grown alot of sativas, but i've read that pure landrace sativas and Hazes don't like to be watered too much.

Over-watering causes leaves to turn yelow and fall off and leaf damage that can look like nutrient defiencies.
Your plant looks well fertilized so i doubt it's real nute deficiency.

Let the pot go fairly dry and light before you water the plant.
When you grow under leds/small lights your plants wont drink as much as under high watt HPS lights
