Thank you!
Day 60 Aero tent. My PPM was pretty high last night so I went ahead and changed the nutrient solution to bring everything back down.
Dehumidifier did show up a few days ago and seems to be keeping the RH in check.
I'm noticing some weird growth in the top colas of one of the plants. I think the plant may have topped itself at the top of many of the main colas due to light intensity. That, or early signs of foxtailing. The affected areas are hard. Like stems. I've attached a picture if anyone has any ideas (picture #1 shows what I'm talking about best).
pH 5.6, res temp 65f, temp 75f, RH 45%
Day 48 Soil Tent. Not many trichomes yet, but that skunky smell that I love has shown up
. Shouldn't be long before they get frosty.
The flush I did a few days ago has really made a nice difference. I fed once since then, and everything is growing as it should be.
Temp 79f, RH 45%

Everything looks good. no suggestions.
Smelling good here
Starting to smell great!!
Staring to become frosty. 
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%

Frosty, dense, yummy.
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.

It is very close to chop time. Cannot wait to see how many grams you will get. 
Day 81 aero tent. I pulled 1 of the Gelatos as it was way under the canopy and I just couldn't care for it or get light to it. I'll be lucky if it yields 14g, it was nothing to write home about anyway. The other Gelato is still spitting out white pistils. It may come down this upcoming Sunday depending on how I feel. The Zkittlez is looking closer to done. Over the past 10 days it's really shown some issues with CalMag deficiency, but this late in to the grow I wasn't gonna sweat it. Things are toppling over in this tent, and I'm ready for it to be done.
I've learned what I needed to learn, remember, this was my first ever cannabis hydro grow, my first ever cannabis LED grow, my first ever feminized seeds grow, and my first ever auto grow. If I yield a pound, I'll consider it a success.
Day 69 soil tent. Fall colors and dense buds. A much more manageable tent in terms of plant size and structure. They're close, but may give them a little longer than I anticipated. They'll either come down on Sunday, or possibly the following Sunday. Either way, harvest is near.
First 7 pictures aero tent (Gelato, mostly white pistils, and Zkittlez, mostly orange pistils). Last 3 pictures soil tent (Wedding Cake).
