Day 65 Aero Tent. 2 ILGM Gelato and 1 ILGM Zkittlez.
Reservoir change today. For the past 2 weeks I've been changing the reservoir every 3 days when the PPM gets up to 2500. Sometimes I'm able to justify just a top off, but once it reaches 2.5k I change the reservoir because I don't want the roots sitting in that hot of solution. The plants seem happiest right after a solution change, so I'm doing my part to keep them thriving.
Fed at week 5 flowering light strength according to the feed chart.
pH 5.7, RH 45%, Temp 75f, res temp 69f after change (added ice bottles to bring down temperature).

As this grow comes closer and closer to the finish line I have to start thinking about the next round....
I placed an order today for a 4x4 tent, another ts1000 (gotta take advantage of Amazon Prime Day prices!), A 6" ac infinity fan and filter, and some super special seeds -- Top Dawg Seeds Fam 95.
My plan is to use my 2x2 for drying.
3x3 with 1 ts1000 (possibly upgrading to 2 in the future) for mom room and clone starting.
And 4x4 with 4 ts1000s for veg/flower.
Pretty stoked to be up and running again!

Day 70 aero tent. They're getting close, probably 10-14 days out from harvest. Moved to week 6 of flower nutrients which starts to taper off the strength, 600ppm instead of 950ppm.
The 1 plant that was affected by too much light intensity has put out some interesting flowers. Not the most desirable look, and not as dense as the other 2, but should still deliver some weight. Interestingly, it's the most resin covered of all of them. Maybe that's a defense response to too much light?
pH 5.7, res temp 65f, temp 75f, rH 50%
Day 58 soil tent. Lots of smells going on in here. The 2 plants are similar in structure and development, but the smell of each is very different. One is exhibiting gas smells and the other deep skunk smells. I enjoy both, so looking forward to the next couple of weeks to see how they finish. Probably another 3-4 weeks on these.

Day 75 Aero tent. Res change day. Things are bulking up. Calyxes haven't changed too much, and I haven't scoped yet. It's still looking like I have a few weeks ahead of me for these to be done. I may take down the 1 small plant that's covered by the other 2 because it's not getting any light at all and it's pretty much stalled out. I'm still thinking I'll get a 1lb+ from this garden. Thoughts?
pH 5.9, TDS of nutrient solution 800ppm, rH 50%, res temp 68f, temp 74f.
Day 63 Soil tent. Looking like these may finish first. I haven't scoped yet, and they definitely have at least 10 more days, but getting close. Purps starting to show. Water only today, still alternating water/nutrients.
Temp 75f, rH 55%

Well, well, well.....since the aero tent is getting so close to finishing, and I had a day off work, I took full advantage and set up all my new equipment.
Next grow, starting as soon as the aero tent finishes, will be 6 Top Dawg Fam 95 seeds. These are photoperiod and unsexed so I'll be looking for a mom in the bunch...
I'll be growing in the same Aeroponics reservoir that I'm in now, but in a 4'x4' AC Infinity tent with 4 Mars Hydro TS1000s, a 6" AC Infinity programmable/adjustable fan, a 6" AC Infinity carbon filter. Also moving from the economy series of Apera pH meter to the nicer one (pH60). I've been impressed with the GH Flora line, so I ordered gallons of the 6 part line (minus Floralicious, just got a quart of it. It's rather expensive).
The tent I'm currently in for aero, 3'x3', will eventually house my mother plants in soil under 1 TS1000, but I'll order a second if I find that I need it. I may run an auto or 3 in there until I need to utilize it for my mother plants.
The 2'x2' will be used as a drying tent, I suppose. It's set up with fan and filter already, so I might as well put it to use.
Stay tuned. The next couple of months are gonna be producers for me. Can't wait to see what I find in this pack of seeds.

Aero tent day 78. The plant in the middle (gelato) has put on so much weight that it's falling over. I have to be careful when I open the tent because the only thing really supporting the beast is the side walls of the tent. I have a feeling that it'll be coming down at day 86 (next Sunday). The back plant (Zkittlez) has rock hard buds. It's showing signs of mag deficiency as we get closer to the end, which makes sense because the feed chart halves the amount of CaliMagic going in to week 6. For future grows I may not reduce it in the end. Depending how it looks next Sunday, it may get the chop then, too.
Day 66 Soil tent. Also looking very close to chop time. Unlike the aeroponics Tent, this is weed as I remember growing it in years past. The aeroponics Tent is weed on steroids, this is much more predictable. Classic Christmas tree spearical buds, colorful, lots of smells. It's been fun to grow. Likely coming down at day 74, next Sunday.
