Looks like a case of root rot too me! You can fight that well with something like hydroguard from botanicare. It contains a bacteria that loves to eat unwanted things! I use it and Orca together. Roots are always beatufil white! Other wise definately a good desicion to cut that one! Does light penetrate your resevior for long periods of time? Also what is the temps of the res? Cant wait to see the pics tonight brother :)

Yea if it is a case I think it's mild, it didn't feel slimy or smelly, also I looked up some things and sometimes the nutes stain the roots. But yea I saw about that hydro shield I might have to get it for the next run I just started, but for that run that just started I already got some humic acid, mycorrhizae and tricidermis (dunno how to spell it lol) also when I checked the res after I took the pot out I did see that it was pretty caked up with stuff inside since I never cleaned it this run.... LOL, will have to be more clean on the auto run and before I put those plants in, gonna have to bleach everything down. I never took a temp of the water, but in the grow room over most of the grow it was low to mid 80s it's been starting to get cooler tho and temps are reading low 70s high 60s now in the room, might actually be good hopefully I can pull some purple out that blue mystic :) what's orca? There's a little light that can hit the res but it's for the most part covered up with the pots, maybe it can get thru to the water between the little cracks separating each pot, but that light has to get thru a pretty thick canopy too

Here's some of the pics from last night! I had a few more but this will suffice. So I was wondering, cause I got one plant that is light years ahead of the others, I think it will be ready way before, but how do I flush it and not the others? Cause I think that one will be turning Amber soon, while the others are just starting to put on some weight. As you can see in some of the photos I got two shoots that are higher than the light, gonna need to do a better job tying down

*edit* I could just remove the plant from the hydro system and hand water it for a week or so, but it'll be tricky fishing it out of the scrog net

What's up everybody long time no talk! So since last update, I've got a cab full of flowering bud now, I got the one plant starting to go amber and it's coated in frost :weed: I think what I'm gonna do is take out the hydro feeders in about another week and just hand water it cause all the other ones are just now starting to put on weight.
A bunch of the other shoots have light burn, so I tied them away from the lights as best I could.. uploading photos is going a bit slow, so I'll try to upload later, but I got one bud almost the size of my forearm lol

Sounds like nice harvest. Keep it going

When should I start flushing? I been doing some research and I think I can pull off flushing the entire res and then if I need to add nutes back after I pull that first plant. Anybody have any experience with florakleen or somethin like this from general hydroponics? I got hairs turning amber more and more now, some of the buds on the other plants are a bit underdeveloped but I can see some of their hairs are turning too, I'm supposed to be getting a jewelers loupe tonight. Also what's the best way of scraping th funk off inside the res, cause that might get brought up into the plants too nah?

I wouldn't necessarily flush. More and more evidence suggests that it's not really necessary. Keeping nutrients available to them is your best bet.

I'd suggest just filling your res with fresh water when it gets low. Making nutrients available but not as strong. Let me know what you try. You should have good results either way.

Oh yea? Hmmmm interesting... maybe I'll do that for a couple days and cut off a branch and smoke it lol. I cut off two little branches 2 days ago and was gunna smoke the popcorn, to see the harshness/taste. With the autos, if they end up ok, I'm not gonna flush with the organic nutes. Just run them all the way thru for some (hopefully) sweet tasting bud. But the chemical nutes I'm not too sure about

Yeah at this point there are so many theories i dont know what to believe lol.
Id definitely flush the chemical nutes.
Ive laid out a plan to start using no bottled nutrients at the beginning of the year. No need for flushing debates when i do that lol.
Im excited for ya man. I remember when those seedlings were in the take out trays lol

Thanks for the words windy! Yes it's been a nice long ride that coming to a close! I had a friend come in last week to get some photos, I got a bunch of tops frying but it's ok. After 4 or 5 days of flushing I'm gonna chop down my first baby either tonight or tomorrow. She's dripping with christals and has turned purple since last time. The smell is godly too. After she's chopped I'm gonna restart with nutes for the other plants for another two weeks I think cause they are just now starting to pack on weight.


What do you do at harvest time? And for the drying and curing? How do you store your trim with out it getting moldy?

What's up world! Chopped my ole lady down today and started drying :D after she got chopped I rearranged the tent for the other three left and they are actually sitting well beneath the lights for the most part, so I think I'm gonna start back up with the nutes for two more weeks and really give a good shot of nitrogen in the beginning just to try and get some green in those yellow burned tops.

Also as far as the drying goes, I got one fan blowing down (indirectly ) and one door leading outside cracked open to my balcony. Temps are sitting around 59-65 degrees lately in that room, feels even a bit colder with that clip on fan blowing

What sup guys! Stripped them buds off their stems and got them in the curing box now :D I think imma run up to the store and get some mason jars, I gotta get a scale and see how much weight i ended up with on that first plant, will take pics of the setup tonight of what I got going on. I stuck my sour diesel autos into the system, so it and i just hand water one and the other one is being fed the same nute water as the 3 mystics finishing up, so maybe not exactly the best nutes for it. And I've got the other two autos in their soil in the same tent

Congratulations dlow! Those buds look super tasty. Good luck with the autos. Let us know how the Mystics taste with a smoke report.

Thanks man! Where do I go for the smoke report? I smoked some the other night and the shit is way better than what I been buying out here. It actually tasted good and like clean green herb not some dogshit.

Btw do you know whatthe heaviest yield seeds from dinafem and HSO are? I was thinking green crack and blue dream but idk. I wanna get a secret jardin twin 60 and turn the tent I got into a production flowering room. Have 12 hydro pots going staggered off by 1 or 2 weeks each- then with the secret jardin on the lower chamber I'll have the moms and clones and the upper chamber is gonna be for testing stuff out. Was thinking about getting this stuff after the winter break when I get back... it would be awesome if I could do that and test some of your stuff out ;)

you can just post details on the smoke here or i believe in the grow journals forum somewhere, not really sure. As far as HSO or dina fem, I've never used either but i would suggest the HSO blue dream, alot of good reviews for their interpretation of the clone only version.
I'd say around mid january i should have some seeds of a space monkey and i might cross something to the tight dojos. the tight dojos are purple, sticky, short and stinky. If i can get a nice male to cross with, you'll be first in line buddy.
Feels good smoking your own herb huh?

That's what's up bro! Well keep in touch about your space monkeys, I'll be back stateside for about 2 weeks in December just to the first week of January. I won't be able to try out the clone only blue dream but I should be able to get the seeds at the dinafem store. I'll ask the guy there too what he thinks is a good yielder as far as the seeds he has. Also btw I forgot if you grew In soil or hydro? Imma post In another section on here but I want to use biobizz nutes in hydro, try to stay as organic as possible, but organic nutes might clog up the water pump or decompose too quickly if left in the res too long. And yes it does feel good smoking my own green all that patience and waiting!!

Aye guys!! So yesterday was officially the day I cut the last two down. Now I had my first plant which overall was the most beautiful. But I'm REALLY excited nug for nug about one of these last plants :) I didn't finish trimming last night but here's a sneak peak ;)
