Anudda update,... 
the Ladiezzz are shaping pretty up well now despite to continued crappy weather, and fire smoke haze... I hoping they can keep veg'ing in earnest for a few more weeks, but the light's a'fadin', nothing to be done there! The bug war is going better now, that SNS209 is doing a nice job -
Nothing stops them from seeing that nice lush green and moving in, but the taste is becoming nasty to them, so they don't stay, and seem to be shitting out fewer babies when they land,... thrip damage has been very low so far as well! One I notice for sure, is there's significant differences in which plants the aphids are attracted too,... The AG's, FairyBreath and FG's are clearly favored; the BV and Sky x WW consistently have the fewest, in particular the BV! 
I'll have to smell them more closely next time, maybe something in that,... the defc. Fairybreath gets the most, as expected... bugs spot a sick plant like a fekking beacon!... pH's are holding well too, 6.6-6.7's; continuing to pH water/supp' soln. to upper 6's.... The defc.'s are getting better, but not quite keeping pace with new growth, so that continues for now; I ordered some Optic Foliar Transport!
Damned interesting stuff, and I'm eager to put it to the test... If it works like it's advertised, it'll really speed up the corrections of defc.'s-- especially with the stubborn metal micro's that move so slowly within the plant. This will be a great case to test it on, having seen what regular foliar treatment does,...>> AG's }--

Yep, site has been touchy the last few days @Waira!! Have what you asked for and apologize up front for the crappy pics, I get some mean glare with the flash and shit without!
@Waira, here is the A8 readings shallow and deep on my pots...
pot 1 shallow ph of 6.5 and deep ph of 5.8 ish
Pot 2 shallow ph of 6.8 ish and deep ph of 6.0

Well guys I'm going to have to do a non visual update. I put the plant in the dark to prep her for chop Monday or Tuesday. I gotta say I'm beyond impressed with the results. I can't wait to chop and show off the final shots.

Hola friends! Update on my cooked herb tent lol, it's just a mess but it is whatever it is. Switched to bottled water, pH'ed to good ol 6.3, but not going to make any difference at this point hah. Soil pH still normal...but temps are bad. I'm working on how to salvage my cred next round lol.
KindSoil side:
Cream Mandarine XL is not well, it's just going to be whatever... The smoke isn't going to happen but it'll end up fine in some canna coconut oil!
Blackberry Stone is less horrific lol, this phenotype has very little branching like that uni-cola shape, kinda cool to see, I had another one do that too.
Her top is pretty!:
The Tombstones are great so far, wayyy too tight of nodes just because of growing up under the bloom spectrum, that's fine though.
Just one Tombstone is a micro mini:
My soil side: looking partially crappy haha but hanging on.
Red Poison is all freaked out from something, I think it's the temps today, it hit 108 lol. Definitely also got the deficiency...:
Cream Mandarine XL is struggling but alive, be a miracle if it makes anything either:
This Blackberry Stone is looking almost okay!:
The Blackberry Stone trio pot is fighting each other a little bit but is halfway okay...one is definitely trying to color up!:
All for now, sorry it sucks

Yeah, think it's three things at work that took a big crap on me lol. Think my soil is not playing ball anymore, even though I carefully pH'ed it, limed it, re-ammended it, and re cooked it just for this round. Something definitely went wonky with my water, even though I pH that of course, but there's been some shift in it, even though PPM's right out of the well are still under 150! And the heat... (Honestly I'm going to have to suspend summer grows in the future unless I get that barn sealed up and insulated enough to add an AC unit. Or build something else muahahahaa! Lol.)
Anyway I've still loved this contest and I'm enjoying all of y'alls plants!! Irie spirits mon!

Hello AFN'ers. I chopped Fantasmo Express yesterday. Well yesterday into late last night. Lol. I take forever to get through one.
I think this plant might make top 5 yield list for my personal best in soil. Can't really tell till it's dried but it did well regardless.
I can't speak for others but my experience with KindSoil was a positive one for sure. I mean normally I'm mixing nutrients daily and this was nothing like that. To top it off my results were not far off pace compared to my normal system. It's easy to use, cost efficient and produces great results. What more could you want from a system?
