If “Genetics” is like the catch all for an unknown problem then giving compost tea is the fix-it-all solution. Plants look ok to me; maybe they are a little hungry or ph is sliding off. If these plants were hermed out in week 2 with no light leaks present then maybe mutant DNA could be to blame but it’s more likely an absorption issue or a simple lack of N in mid bloom.
A good compost tea should help green them back up. Try giving a round of aact without the BB; just EWC, molasses, and maybe some kelp meal. Top dressing w/EWC, kelp and/or fish bone meal could also help but may take a few weeks to break down & get to work.
In my exp liquid fish is pretty good stuff but it’s fairly mild even if given heavy; provides meager npk. I had very similar issues starting out with living soil; you’ve got to recycle and amend it a few times to get it to that coveted supernatural level of microbial/fungal activity where all you need to do is water them. Next time you build your final size bloom pots consider adding a high N layer and/or fertilizer spikes to prolong viability of your mix especially in small containers. I like using a combo of ewc, chicken manure, insect frass, and crushed oyster shell along with some fully amended and recycled soil in the bottom few inches. Adding granular mycorrhizae in the hole in contact with roots at each transplant is another thing you should look into doing if you currently are not. Ensures your soil pot is fungal dominant which helps avoid most absorption (ph) issues in the first place. Once my pots are filled and mulched I push in 2 Jobes AP spikes into each container 180 degrees apart. They feed for 8 weeks; perfect for bloom phase. Usually try to give an aactea at start of bloom and then again around mid flowering (day 30-40) so that’s all they get besides water for most of the cycle. It’s actually a challenge to keep a container of soil active for more than 6+ weeks or so; usually when microbial activity begins to fade so does the soils ability to keep ph in the proper range for absorption.
