NL indoor grow flowering issues

I have two Nirvana NL plants that i verged for 6 weeks and flipped to 12/12 8 weeks ago. They showed pistils after 2 weeks, so i guess they're about 6 weeks into flower.
The problem is that the buds are tiny, like the size of my thumb. I feel like they should be bigger at this point. This is my first grow, so I'm not sure what it could be.

I water them every other day with PH balanced water, no nutrients.

I tried some nutes a week or two ago and it ended up horrible, you will see in pics.

They are in miracle grow moisture control potting mix. Indoors, my temps are fine and they have great air circulation.

I know the yield be be bad because of the stress caused, but i just want some knowledgable peoples' opinions.

Any help would be appreciated, and any advice on when they will be done would be great too.

yeah they also probably didn't like the notes i gave them, i gave them too much...live and learn but any thoughts on how long they have left and if the buds will fatten up at all?

I sure hope you've flushed these.....3x's the volume of soil (5 gal soil= 15 gal of water). I think your plants are salvageable....just not what they could have been. I personally don't get using Miracle Grow....just about any "how-to" growing tutoring starts out with "Don't use Miracle Grow". I'm really not trying to be critical.....I've done more than my share of attempting to screw up my grows.

There's a zillion soil choices out there....why tempt fate by attempting to used the one named-brand that most experts say not to use?

I have Nirvana NL's running atm. I have got 4 out of 5 going. 1 of the 4 came out with only 1 cotyledon and another 1 came out with only 1 fan leaf.
The 1 with the single fan leaf is growing retarded2013-05-29 18.08.50.jpg2013-05-29 18.08.35.jpgbut it is still alive...
And the one with 1 cotyledon died.

Out of the remaining 3, 1 of them has a really runtyness to him and the other 2 look really healthy and growing well. So thats only 2/5 that are worth it really and they are just about to enter veg so only time will tell.

I have come to the conclusion that the bean business is just like any other. You pay for quality and by the looks of things, I got what I paid for. Nirvana NL was quite cheap compared to the others but I had read NL's is a good choice for a beginner grower. Next time I will be doing what others have suggested and buying some quality beans. Spend a bit extra and hopefully they will all germ and grow without the issues stated above...

PS. I know this doesnt really help with your issue but I just wanted to share my experience so far with the same beans you are growing. Im not really impressed atm with the 2 deformities and the 1 runt. Hopefully the other 2 continue to grow strong.
Good Luck with your issue and I hope your yield goes well :bigjoint:
