Have you ever tried super cropping?

Dont take this the wrong way but from the look of your plants and their leaves i can tell you that they are suffering from a lack of oxygen in the root system.
I notice that you appear to be hydro so check to make sure that there is enough Boron in the nute products that you are using and possibly try to allow them to dry out a little more before each flood and drain.
Best of luck

I haven't tried super cropping yet. I am trying different techniques each time I grow.

I am using an GH Rainforest 66 aeroponics. The roots never dry out since they are submerged in water or bathed with the aeroponic mist constantly. I have a slight bit of root rot in the tank but the roots are white and healthy. I will take some photos of the roots so you can see them.

What is it about the leaves that makes you think it is lack of oxygen? I am using GH floranova nutes with kool bloom and flora nectar

I don't know anything about growing in this manner but roots need oxygen and your plants look like they are not getting enough oxygen from the root system.
I may well be wrong though as i don't know anything much about this kind of growing method.
I assume that you have an airstone in there for them maybe they need a bigger one?
Roots look cool to me anyway but i don't know about misting setups but they look white enough to me

 

[msdsm39]

hell man... this site is all about sharing ideas. I appreciate your input.

I don't use any airstones. The aeroponic sprayer is supposed to sufficiently oxygenate the nutrient solution.

I can give you some ideas why the leaves look like shit...

I used way too much nutrient... upon further reading I found out that sativas in general, like less nutrient compared to indicas and Mother's finest in particular likes less nutrient. I was in the 1500 - 1900 ppm range before I reduced the amount.

Also... Mother's Finest can get huge. I shouldn't have vegged them as long as I did. I have six plants and like 40 main colas. I was thinking I may have too much vegetation for the amount of roots.

Maybe that's it then,you just need a bigger root space.
Is it possible to put them in a bigger container and add an airstone to see if they get any better?

 

[msdsm39]

not with this setup. I think I am just overgrown. I should have tied them down more from the beginning and trimmed more.

today is day 67 of flowering... day 88 since starting vegging and day 104 since starting clones. these six girls are overgrown and have been over fertilized. they fought off spider mites when they were just transplanted so they are running longer then 70 days. the buds are crazy sticky and some of the colas are starting to get heavy and dense.

 

[msdsm39]

they are flushing on fresh water now. i will add some Flora Kleen in a few days and then cut them in a week. here are some close up pics

 

[genfranco]

really nice... they look like they can go for another month..lol.... awesome man...great job.

 

[jollygreengiant8]

they look great man..nice and frosty
but please consider giving them another 2 weeks before you cut them
they seem like they could benefit nicely from the extra time, just my 2 cents
either way, those are pretty buds

 

[msdsm39]

thanks guys... they aren't ready yet I know. I will give them as much time as they need but I am hoping that somehow in the next 7 days they will be miraculously ready

I keep reading the Big Book of Bud page on Mother's Finest. It says it can take a really long time but it is so worth the wait. I know my patience will be rewarded.
