Mohican,
Not sure if you ever got your "brown root" problem figured out yet, but I know why it was/is happening. I grow in hydroton sometimes and I get the same issue when my plants start getting huge. My last harvest I got 15 dry oz. off of one plant in a 1 gallon bucket filled with hydroton. My roots look like yours and are extremely compact. I couldn't even get the root ball out of the container last time and had to shatter the bucket to get them out because they were so dense. The biggest root was 1/2" thick and was as hard as steel.

The reason the roots get brown is because when your plants get so frickin huge, the root mass becomes way to clogged up and root bound. The water does not drain fast enough in between waterings and creates an oxygen-less environment. It's not due to the FloraNova. I use Canna nutes and they are much thinner and clearer. I even had one nasty spot of root rot in my root ball because the water does not drain off fast enough due to the thick ass roots.

The only thing that can be done to solve the issue is to not grow plants so big so that the root mass doesn't clog up the planting container. Or use a bigger container for the roots, like a 3 gallon or something. I've always been really impressed with how thick and huge the roots get in hydroton, but it's not good when they can't drain out.

You should see them in lava rock. Plus my lp aero delivery system has something to do with it

Going to try some pulverised lava rock soil to try and make Maui soil on my next grow. I need to contact a Maui farmer to find out what the soil contains up in Kula.


Last root shot for you to laugh at:





















Cheers,

They were definitely staying too wet between feedings. Check out my journal for my medium in action: lava rock+ Air Pot + low pressure spray heads

OK time for a smoke report. I will compare these all to my MrGoo as a baseline.

Tonight it is Purple Kush
I was excited to see something purple at the dispensary so I thought I would give it a try.






The crystals were sparse and the color was very uniform without any noticable purple. It ground nicely and rolled well. It lit easily and the draw was good. The smoke is very smooth and it was very easy to smoke a whole Zig-Zag King Size solo. It was a very mild smoke and a very mild high. After smoking the whole joint I needed some hash to get high :)


Good for smoking with newbies or on a date.


I give it 2 out of 5 smileys :) :)


Cheers,
Mo
