No thick Cola's MI5

[lykaboss]

Ok guys i need some sugesstions, some background first, I am using Fox Farm Trio for nutes, (Thinking about switching to Humbolt) I seen alot of MI5's on this site and the cola's and side branches are rock soil. Expecially muddy's. I am not Achiveing these results. The plant is alive and well. I think it is time to harvest it but i was kind of hoping it was start exploding. i always bubble my water and keep it at 6.5 to 6.7 ph, The MI5 is in a 3 gallon smart pot. There are TONS of red hairs on it right now. I have been feeding it 1/4th tps of grow big and 1/4th tps of tiger bloom per gallon. I have not started to flush yet. Here is a picture. Camera kinda shitty need a new one. I use 240 watt black star LED's it is about 12 inches from the top of the MI5



As you can see there is quite a bit of separating between bud sites. One thing i am thinking is maybe is the pheno type?

I bet the dry weight of this will be less then 1 oz for sure :no:

I suspect you weren't feeding them enough. I haven't used nutes in awhile but when I was, I had them up to 1/2 strength in veg and full strength in flower with an occasional heavy feeding. Judging by what I can see of your fan leaves in the picture the look like they are just starting to yellow, so about 3 more weeks to harvest. You've got time for 1 or 2 more feedings before starting your flush. I'd give them a good shot of Tiger Bloom, at least 1 tsp. per gallon if not a little more. Also, if you've got a bud booster like PK13.14, you might give them a little of that as well.

It looks like phenotype, to be honest I have never seen a Mi5 like that before.

Muddy i beilive it is a case of me Under nutes, I been hitting the MI5 and some HBD with 1 tsp of tiger bloom and 1/4 tsp of big bloom per gallon. On someones previous posting i seen there were giving there plants 4 tsp per gallon of tiger bloom


Am i still not giving them enough?

BTW since i upped the nutes to 1tsp of tiger and 1/4 tsp of big bloom per gallon i notice the buds swelling alot more

I am going to be switching to all humboltd nutes soon

Honestly, I don't remember what the recommended feed is for . Isn't it 2 tsp. per gallon for a regular feed and 4 tsp. for a heavy? I"d give them a heavier feeding, maybe 2-3 tsp.

I think that's about right, Muddy. I go with 2 for normal feedings and 3 for an extra boost. I don't recall ever giving 4 tsp. in one feeding.

Thanks guys, well i won't be doing it with the MI5 since she is READY to cut, covered in red hairs. I will flush and then cut. I will focus more heavier feeding on the HBD and afgan kush i have started. I also took some Pollen from the HDB and seeded a branch on the MI5. Will be curious to see how many seeds i can and how the cross between MI5 and HBD turns out

I don't think you have the big yield pheno there. But she does have some time left, Muddy is probably dead on with 3 more weeks.

she has started to fill out more since i first made the post, The top is taking a dive on me lol. Could be pheno type or could be my under nute's. I will post an updated pic when i get off work of where it is at now. what really sucks is i wanted the MI5's pretty bad they were at the top of my list and on the 10 pack i ordered only 1 ever germed to and broke the surface, O WELL Sh+*t happens. All my other beans germ and push through without a problem

if your thinking of switching nutes i would suggest earth juice.
