Hi All,
I hate to say this but I think I should ditch this dying indoor bush and replace her with a new clone or seed and start over the right way. What do you think?

your outdoor plants look great Mo!!! I wouldn't ditch the indoor, i don't know, i think there is still alot of catching up to do with the roots....if you do decide to ditch her, instead put her outside, slam her roots into some really airy soil, she will take time to adjust, but still no loss from ditching her in the bin then.....Up to you Mo, you have many options, and still luckily many plants to play with. If you do start over, You have some great ideas.....
 
Dont loose faith mohican!i also run a rdwc setup and i had a small bout of the brown sludge that stopped growth and wilted the leaves during the hot parts of the day.. i cleaned the piss out of my system and roots with h202, flushed it a few times with HOT water, did a res change and added 1 cup per gallon of tea to my res and folowed up with 1 cup every three days. since then there has been no sign of sludge and the plants rootball has doubled in size. just make sure you dont use any form of h202 or any sterilizing solution in your res afterwords. good luck mohican and stick with it, your baby will be fine =)

By the looks of your tea brewing setup, I would like to make a suggestion. You need to get a much smaller object to hold your EWC. By the looks of that bag you have them in now, you may want to use that to strain your tea afterwards? I honestly just use a cotton sock with about a cup of EWC in it tied up with a twist tie. Heisenberg also suggested panty hose? Socks are cheap compared to them things!

Panty hose is only a dollar for a pack :p. Family Dollar ftw

I like FM's idea of planting her outside instead of junking her completely.
personally, i think she will yield better left where she is, if no improvement in next 2-3 days, think about some different options then perhaps....putting her outside is possible but they have to transition from air roots, to water roots i believe that's the term. A good kickstart boosting soil, would probably help in that case. Looking forward to seeing what happens anyhow!

Could I put her in perlite? I am also thinking about trying a grow with white pumice. She is in full flower so what will happen going out to long days - reveg?


I will let her go a week or two with the tea and see what happens. If she does not respond, I have some Thai seeds coming from a friend on Maui that I think would be fun to try. I think I will change to the perlite setup and do some Nugbuckets Bonzai pruning. I may also cut a clone from an outside and give her another try under the LED.

Tell me Flowa, how cold is it? :)

Perlite isn't going to give that particular setup much support in my opinion. unless you support everything like you have been perhaps. Keep going on the tea idea, i'm sure Slanty knows the goods. going outside would turn her into a monster if she did manage to go through some re-veg, + the transition to changing root system, there would be some major shock either way. However, watch closely for any signs of new root growth, and keep us all informed, it might take a few days, but once they start, they have all that surface area to explode with new roots. shocking a plant can have added benefits ;) to a degree. Wait and see i guess....

white pumice....i think is a good addition to soil, i'm not 100% sure on that, but not alone 100% i don't think. Perlite is the No1 for oxygen, other than a perfect aero system, which i think you have found as many have is more difficult than it seems!!

It is currently 6' Celcius. ice on car windows

None! I have not seen any Sativa pics with Trichs. They are more from the indica hash plants. I need to do some studying to see what is out there for finished Malawi signs. The hairs are still plump and white and there seems to be more and more of them. Oh! - I need to run out there real quick and get some shots!

I believe all cannabis plants produce trichomes, it's just they're usually larger and more densely packed on strains that were historically grown for hash production (mostly indicas). I'm growing a strain that's supposed to be 90% sativa, and as you can see from this closeup photo, it's got quite a few trichomes forming on day 54 of 12/12:

Here are the best images from the flowers that shows the minimal trich production on the leaves. There is a slight sparkle :P

Here is an excerpt from a Malawi Gold (Afropips Seeds) smoke review:


The texture of it was great, not too airy and loose, had a good calyx to leaf
ratio when you got into it, though the calyx themselves werent that large. It
produced a good amount of frost inside and outside of the bud and down about
half the fan leaves. Not a good producer for hash by any means due to the med
sized heads and lack of frost on the fan leaves.

Working on pictures - the camera battery finally ran out.

I am now a much more educated grower on the topic of roots. This education has come at a terrible cost to my indoor who is fighting back with all her might.

Not sure if I will try this grow method again. Might try the modified waterfarm with perlite method FlowaMasta is using. Or maybe even SuperSoil like Nugbuckets. It is an adventure!


Root pictorial history:

































Whew!
