What a journey so far! Man those tiny trichomes are going to be so deceiving.

Totally! I just cut away more stringy growth and the sticky is getting there. And the stalks are getting the same smell as the outdoor - basil/mint.

Hey Big,
She is hanging in there! I diluted the water in the res by half. The ppm is 380 and the pH is 6.5. I added some more tea. The flowers are still adding more weight. More leaves on the bottom have died from the root rot. I cut some small growth from the main branches and I made cuttings. I may try to clone them. The clone dome clones are pretty bad except for two. The bubbling method seems to work better for me. I might try the Subcool shoebox method that Nugbuckets is using if I can find out what it is!!!


Cheers,
Mo

Well my main res was draining slowly so I reached in to pull out the roots that clog the drain and they were black! Not brown but black! OMG - is this normal? Does the bene tea turn your roots black Slanty? This is freaking me out. Can I cut off these roots and just let her grow back new clean ones?


HELP!

Today we have the fun root issue. I wish this Malawi Gold/Blackroot would die or grow some dank!!! This in-between shit is driving me nuts :P

ppm - 380
pH - 6.7 (added some pH down and will check tomorrow)

Outdoor girls look great. The big clone is getting green stems again and some burn tips. I fed her pHed water today.

Oh, just an FYI - I mixed up some Miracle Grow for my tomatos and the pH was 6.1 after mixing at 2/3 strength! Interesting.

Cloneville just keeps getting bigger. The stalks on those girls are just beefy with cool green stripes. I mixed their soil with Blood and Bone meals and the leaves are very green with no burn at the tips. Fed them pHed water today and picked some weeds.

Finally got some cool macro shots of the indoor buds with some interesting micro structure.

Enjoy!

Hey Mo
How much tea did you add? ive read posts of people using a little too much tea having a problem similar to yours. did you brew your tea 48 hours? did it foam at all? was there any h202 or cleaners left behind from your res change? make sure when you clean your res you get as much of the brown algea out as you can, so the microbes in the tea have a chance to fight them off before they can take hold again.

I used one cup per gallon. The roots do not feel slimy and I did try to spread them apart more and shake any loose junk away. Can I cut them off?



Anybody out there know anything about pruning roots?

Nope - still smells good. The benes have added a new sent to the mix. It still smells like earth and roots - no fishy smells. The res temp is around 75-76F - I may need to get some ice in there to lower the temps.
 
Imo i would cut off that black mass if it doesnt start showing signs off new growth within the next day or two, then do another res change and give the system another good cleaning. with micro tea you shouldnt have to worry about keeping temps down, it should be fine as long as it stays below or at the mid 70's.... you dont want your water too cold because it will slow down your good microbes and keep them from doing their job.
 
Perhaps one of the Zymes would help.
Any zyme is going to make the problem 100 times worse, all it is is microbe food... In Mohicans situation you never want to add things like that or any form of sugar or molassis directly to your res because it feeds what your trying to kill.

Fun fun fun! I was moving my roots around and trying to hang them over the pipe to take a picture and guess what happened? A chunk of the knotted roots came off in my hand. I took some pics and there are interesting structures. It looks like it may be growing some new white bits. There are however some strange nodules on some of the hairs. Weird stuff and cool pics (Samsung WB150F).

Do you think you will keep growing Dro after this Mo? Organic soil just seems much easier...your outdoor girls are beautiful! That brown stuff is just awful, wonder why, after all you've tried, it's still here??
