I started growing 5 Mi5s and three of them are females right now but all are very different is size. One is around 8 inches and one is 3 inches and one is only 2 inches but they all smell super strong
How old are your plants? I saw a journal on RIU and the guys plant at the end of its flowering period was only about 3 inches high. I'd love to know what causes the plants growth to become so stunted.

The trichomes of my plant were about 15% amber and i read a post by Brick Top and he said to try harvesting earlier when trichomes are about 10% amber, so i thought i'd give it ago so i can try out the results. So it is currently in its 72 hour dark period.

My other plant is still like a week or two behind, heres some pics of her.

The two in soil are super small but the one in aeroponics is nice and big. The larger one is 25 days old and the two small ones are 21 from seed. The smallest one was super deformed and I was going to pull it but then I realized fuck it might as well se how she turns out. I will take some pictures and post them but I really like the genetics 3/5 female and they all stink.

At the end of the day you'll still get bud from them, if they are small plants the buds should be really compact. At least you have one big one.

Looking good! I have a suggestion though. You would have much better results if you stacked your plants on playboys or xbox boxes instead of board games. The exception being monopoly of course (this one's a gamble but might make you rich).

Haha I've been waiting for someone to say something about my board games. And yes monopoly is pretty insane

Ye I bet, when are you going to harvest yours ?

I checked out my other plant before a went to bed last night and realised that the majority of the plant is ready, its just the top 2cm which is a bit immature, so i put it up in the attic with my other plant last night.

Im only do 48 hour darkness cause i can only do it wednesday. I'll post the pics of the harvest tomorrow.

Hey Jamie I have been reading up on other peoples Mi5 grow and there are many people with the same issue as me with one plant growing normally and one extremely small. What I believe my problem is mostly genetics because I am treating them all the same but cant wait to see the harvest man tomorrows the day congrats

Might be the genetics, if they are from the same breeder i'd imagine the genotype would be pretty constant. Thanks man. Pics will be posted right now :)

Just finished trimming my buds, my hands are sticky and stink like hell.

Wet weight was 164g, thats including stems so i reckon dry weight will be around 30-40g. I'll be having a go at making hash with the trim as well.

I'll post final weight and pics once buds have been cured, so what like 3-4 weeks?

I've got another journal will another MI5 and a himalaya blue diesel. Check it out:

Looks like a nice little harvest!! I've got my first batch of autos going now and am hoping for similar results under a combination of CFL and T5.

Not bad not bad! dry em a few days before you stick then in jarsour they will mold. Re weigh before jars cause they should be dry going into your jars.

Kay, my green is at my preferred dryness at last. I got around 45g dry weight, i say around because i smoked a good deal of it before it was properly dry. Its a good smoke. It hasnt really got a strong taste to it. The high on the other hand is insane. It has a typical couch-lock stone and i'm unable to move until the munchies kick in, and they really kick in. Only downside is the high only lasts 2-3 hours :(
