Update on root issue, there are new shoots starting to form which is a great sign. I am debating on when to add nutrients back to my res, im currently on day 3 of flushing with H202 and Orca with fresh water.

Should i add nutrients back to the res now, if so should i pump out a few gallons and top off with my nutrients and fresh water? I do not want to dump res and refill completely.

How much longer do you think i have until harvest, im guessing about 2-3 weeks. I would like to use Gravity for a week before i flush so that im able to fill out the buds since they are so airy from these root issues. They have pretty much stopped growth for the past 5 days or so. H202 will be added throughout the rest of flower, until final flush.

Nice save man and those nugs should thicken up in a few weeks, but it looks like sativa and sativas are going to be more "airy."

Thanks, do you think that i actually saved them? Think that the front two are going to make it until the end, so that i dont have any more root problems with removing them!?

Yeah those roots are growing.. your plant is growing.. so I'd say it's saved. It might be helpful to remove any more loose roots that you can of course.

Like i said before this is my first encounter with root problems, so should i just pull from the bottoms for the root bundle gently to remove the excess from what i can?

Yeah you need to get that dead shit out of there before it starts decomposing into your water. Just VERY GENTLY tug where you think dead roots are, if you have to cut very small amounts off. This will stunt growth very slightly, but its better than losing them late in flower to some weird kind of mold/fungus.

Okay, i just dumped res and added fresh water with nutrients PPM 1000 pH 5.8 GH Flora Nova, and Liquid Kool Bloom, H202, tomorrow i will add the Orca once all the chlorine from the tap water is out. I pulled one of the nugs off of the lower branch to give it a test since i flushed for a couple days, see how potent it is now. I expect to see some new growth within the next 4-5 days, ill keep y'all posted!

I've never agreed with lolipopping.. but that's because I love hash from popcorn nugs too much I guess =p

I swear my tops don't ever get bigger regardless because in flower you don't have time for a plant to play catch up and heal herself.

I'm just skeptical on this strain and i dont know how its going to turn out, so i wanted to do some "scientific research"

My grow mentor, Chickengutz, said if you MUST change out the rez, leave approximately 1 gal of the old nute solution in with your addition of fresh water. Eases the transition to clean rez water. Wait 1 day and than go 1/2 dose and work back up to a full dosage as you go back to your old feed schedule. If you are ready to start your flush, leave the 1 gal of old solution in and just add straight H2O. The samll amount of old nutrients will dilute to almost non existance. And than your can add your Clean out solution with no issues. I'm quoting a recommendation...and I have never tried it..but will when I start my flush.. Hope this helps. Good luck friend! :leaf:

Thanks for the input, i have been through a few flushes with this setup and i found that the best way with the least amount of stress it to have your nutrient solution with pH'd water in a separate res, pump out your plants res, sanitize and then pump your new nutrient solution into your plant res. This method has worked well so far, the only thing is to make sure that your temps stay under check!

Yeah I kind-of do this, except manually.. Dump buckets, add water, and then add nutes once they're bubbling. But yeah this does leave a transitional period in which my plants are shocked by the new ppm level for a couple days.

Those are just rez changes, which I do every couple weeks as to avoid any harmful side affects from build up.
