I can see some color coming back in the top one now, but they've been getting pale. I thought it might've been too much light, but now I think it's either nitrogen deficiency or a PH/overwatering issue
Aero tent day 38 of flowering (day 77 from sprout).
I am obsessed with Fam95. The look, the smell, the growth stages -- everything about this plant is what I was looking for when I started searching for my beloved Stardawg of the past. I am so anxiously awaiting that first smoke of this gorgeous plant.
Temp 70f, res temperature 67f, pH 5.85, RH 47%

Soil tent day 84. Both plants got the chop this morning. They're hanging now in a tent. I monitoring temp, 74f, and humidity, 60%. Shooting to dry trim these in 7-10 days and hoping for at least 130g to match my last harvest, looks like it'll be between 130-160g all said and done. I'm happy with how they came out this time. They ended up more dense and less popcorn bud at the bottoms. Probably due to multi topping in the early stages of the grow.
Soil tent day 0. 2 ILGM Wedding Cake autos just about to break ground in the next 24hrs. Same grow specs and environmentals as the 2 that came down today.

Aero tent day 43 of flowering. Showcasing Chemdawg today.
Temperature 69f, res temp 65.5f, pH 5.7, RH 43%
Soil tent day 2. Wedding Cake auto fem seedlings went in to 3g pots of Fox Farm Happy Frog yesterday. Lights at about 35% and will raise gradually as I've done in the past.
Temp 70f, RH 55%
Drying tent doing it's thing. It should be ready to trim by next weekend I'm thinking.

Wedding Cake trimmed and jarred. 159g total weight. Looking back through my notes from my previous grow under the exact same conditions and environmentals this is a 20%+ increase over my last grow of this strain (132g harvested in July 2021), and puts me over 1g/w in a 2x2 tent, soil grow, under 150w of LED. Successful grow in my book!
Day 50 of flowering in the aero tent. Reservoir pH and EC is dipping pretty rapidly. I'm adding 2 to 2.5 gallons of solution twice per day to keep reservoir temp, pH and PPM in check. I'm repeating week 7 feed chart this week and will likely do the same next week because I think these ladies are still feeding quite heavily and week 8 feed chart calls for a pretty drastic reduction in nutrients. I'm guessing these will go 11 weeks or so. I plan to keep following the week 7 nutrient chart until these have 1 week left before chop. Temp 72f, res temp 67f, RH 40%, pH 6.0
Day 52 flowering in aero tent. Still seeing rapid drop in pH in the reservoir (res drops by .5pH every 12 hours). They're taking up a lot of water, over 2 gallons every 12 hours. Topping off reservoir with nutrient solution that has not been pH adjusted brings res up to ~6.0pH and I just let it drift down from there. I'm starting to see some plumping happening and a little bit of fall fading happening in the Chemdawg plants. I'm thinking we'll get a colorful show in this tent over the next couple of weeks.
pH 6.0, res temp 66f, RH 45%, temp 73f
Soil tent day 10.
Temp 74f, RH 55%
Pictured: full aero garden, lower branch of Fam95 looking glistening, Chemdawg top cola, and soil tent.

Gmo what ppm are you feeding the fam at? Mine stalled out real bad for about 2 weeks until I started giving them bottle nutes
BobChronic6505 I'm following the General Hydroponics Flora series (6 part) feed chart at the low dose rates. Right now I'm repeating week 7 schedule, and will likely continue that for the next 10-17 days. When I feel like they have 1 week left I'll move on to the week 8 schedule to let them finish up. At this point in time I'm at about 700ppm.
Are yours bouncing back? I sure hope so!

No I let them get too fucked up, not quite to the point of no return, but they arent going to look like yours. I can ride the rest of it out with GH3part so I can have some flowers.
On other note, my best fam pheno has the weirdest smells I've ever encountered. Itd almost swear it has this sour bleach chlorine jizz smell and I'm not sure how to feel about it lol
BobChronic6505 how strange! Not sure how I'd feel about those smells, either. All 3 of mine have the rubber, sour, chem funk smell that I'm quite fond of. One of the phenos is more of a burnt rubber (just like the Stardawg cut I used to hold).
Day 57 aero tent. We're getting close. Probably another 2-3 weeks. I'm still facing huge pH drifts in 12hr periods and can't figure out why. PPM raises approximately 150 points in that period and pH drifts down .8-1.0 in the same timeframe. They are still up taking approximately 1.5-2.5g of water in that same timeframe. At this point I'm just adjusting as necessary with fresh nutrient water to bring the pH back in to range. I did move to week 8 nutrient schedule to see if a lower starting PPM would resolve the pH drift I'm facing.
The lowers are just completely triched out. I'm starting to see the Chemdawg plants going purple. Should be a colorful finish!
pH 6.2, temp 74f, res temp 66f, RH 38%

Gmo, if u had to guess, what nutrients do you think are being eaten in your solution first
Probably phosphorus and potassium.
