Malawi Gold ScrOG with Magenta Kessil

The flower clone is still perky and seems to be happy in the sun. No sign of any new growth yet but it does need to go through a reveg and I hear that process can slow things down.

nice work Mo! the PH downs are usually Phosphoric acid. But the CYCO XL acid is SUPER phosphoric acid, just for future reference ofcourse and not to be used for ph down

The clones looking great Mo! after seeing your bigger outdoory, isn't she flowering now? if she is, the other small clones will flower straight away, they will stretch out a litle more but good thing is you'll have some sativa bud not too far down the track! way to keep her spirit alive Mo

worried about those brown roots, they really don't look good. I hope things pick up there. Something is not right, but i have no clue sorry

Here it is finally! Some shots of the roots after all of my cleaning and net pot removal.

Notice anything missing?

I knew when I took the roots out of the LJT I had to remember to put the tote lid on first. I forgot! I was doing all of the reconstruction under very dim green light - it was very frustrating. hehe


Everything is back together and I upped the nutes to 900 ppm and the pH is down to 6.2. Oh by the way I just read the Mad Farmer pH down label again and it is Phosphoric Acid!

What's amazing to me is that the plant grew that much with roots like that. And the fact that the plant itself looks reasonably healthy is even more amazing. The plant is thin, but it still looks a lot healthier than some of the grows I've seen elsewhere on this site.

Don't give up on it. Cut back on whatever nute concentration you were giving it and treat with h202 every other day with max air stones. No more organics or zymes or anything like that. Just the nute and h202.

Hey FlowaMasta - I was wondering about the comparison to the Cyco XL - thanks. As for the outdoor girls I see preflowers everywhere but no buds yet. I have heard stories about Sativa going until December! How long should I try to make the indoor girl finish before I give up and start over?


Hey LJ - The Flora Nova Bloom and the Sea Green are both thick and black and they stain everything like dye. I think that is why the roots are so brown. The cleaning water was full of root debris and it took five washings to remove it from the root ball. There were four sections in the roots that looked like dreadlocks and were just knoted up and full of debris. The res is running clean now and I have five (soon to be six) air stones bubbling in the res. I also got rid of the CFLs. They were just making too much heat and I want to see what this Kessil can do on its own. Plus I have the outdoor as backup.

So much catching up to do now that root-saster 2012 is done.

Put my old bug zapper light up the other day. Gave it a good cleaning first and she still zaps them good! It has been so windy that I really have not seen its full potential yet. I cant wait for a gnat tornado to fly in it and vaporize!

Did not get the BT sprayed today - tomorrow will be OK.

Everything is looking pretty good:

Just read the entire thread. I love african sativas! I have one going myself! I know I am late to the party but I am sub'd for sure!

Those outdoor plant are looking amazing Mo. I'm glad that you're detailing all this...just started DWC so you're giving me great info on what to look out for. Even with brown roots, that lady is still gorgeous

Yeah, just be gentle on those roots and give them plenty of o2. That plant looks okay to me.

Welcome Alter Ego, I am subbed to yours now!

Good Day Lady J! I learned that I must use less nutes and provide more bubbles.

Hey LJ - The nutes have risen from 900 ppm to 1070 ppm overnight. Should I just keep adding water?

Mo

Try to lower it to a ppm that's a bit more stable. Don't be afraid to give it a low ppm. The roots need to recover before they can start absorbing massive ppm's again.

So do I drain out some of the res water and replace with fresh water?

Yeah, get that ppm down. When you start seeing new white root growth, think about increasing.

OK - I removed some res water and added fresh water. The nutes are down to 800 ppm. I will try again tomorrow to get them down to 500.

It looks like the flower clone is starting to put out some growth! It also looks like this clone is going to express more of the purple traits. The stem is twisting and it is very dark red. I tried to capture it in some of the pictures.
















That one leaf is so perfect - I love it

The Micro clone is getting bigger and the fan leaves are going to be huge! I love big MJ fan leaves

It was dusk outside so I used the flash and it made them seem like night.

The indoor girl is still taking it slow. It was too late for me to go in and take some pictures today but her flowers are the same and her leaves are not drooping

I was able to get out and get some pics of all the outdoor ladies and here are the pics of the big girl.

Edit: The smell on my hands after touching this girl is amazing. Such an old-school pot smell. It smells like when somebody first lights up and you get that virgin whiff of MJ in your nose. That is what my hands smell like from touching her. And they are not getting sticky, it is more like a waxy feeling. I love greowing outside in the poop and bugs!

The clone tray looks pretty much the same except that the worst wilted clone and the top clipping from outside seemed to have perked back up.

Stupid birds!

lol yeah stupid birds!! if you can shade them slightly under a roof or the side of a house it helps make sure they get plenty of sun still! poop on leaves is ok, poop on buds looking hot Mo!! awesome, king of cloning by now hehe

I hope the plant gets big enough to cover the wire cage and then maybe the birds will stop landing on it! I need to wash her but I just put some Sevin powder on her to make sure I kill the beasties that want to suck on the plant juices. The poop rinses right off and it is good fert.
