Unfortuantly its probably what first thought was. And that's too much N in flower causing foxtailing and improper bud growth. Too much N in flower will cause foxtailing and those glossy dark green leaves like in pic 2 are another sign of too much N. Also there probably isnt enough P to support vigorous flowering. So... you have an abundance of N, not enough P and possible lockout of calmag. There's not much you can do that I know of about the N since its in your soil. Perhaps another grower that grows in this miracle grow can chime in with a solution. This is why I don't believe in growing in soil that has time release nutes, there's no way to get it out. As far as the calmag defficiency goes I would foliar spray calmag. One with no added N. There's an organic line that escapes me right now that contains no N. I reccomend foliar because its quick and the last thing you want is more N uptake from the soil. Too much N could be contributing to the calmag lockout as well. Good luck and pick a medium that has no added nutes next time.
