23 Days Into Flowering and Brown Roots - Pics!!

So my little plant is 23 days into flowering and coming along. The roots are again dark brown and looking slimey. However, you can see that there's new root growth that's white and very healthy.

I'm beginning to believe that the discoloration is partly (or totally) due to the brownish nute solution that I'm using - FloraNova Bloom Formula. I've already fushed the system for 4 days using hydro peroxide and water only, I'm wondering if I should add some hydro peroxide with every res change, which is about every 6 or 7 days.

All and all, I'm happy to see a tiny flower forming on top of the plant. This is my first grow of any kind and will consider it a success if I can obtain any smokable bud!!

Any feedback regarding the roots would be greatly appriciated! Also, opinions on yeild: the plant has been 12/12 for 23 days and is about 2" high. It must be harvested in 38 days as I'm moving accross the country. Do you think I could achieve a 1/8oz?

that plant looks quite healthy and chances are there is no root issue just stained from the nutrient solution. The problem with flipping such a small plant is that you're limited on how much you can feed it to increase yield because it is to small to accept the dosage required for bud products, however i would try to get a high P and K ratio with some N like GH koolbloom and/or try the ontime application PK 13-14 by Canna. Any 0-50-30 a cheap one if you cannot afford a better one.

Thanks Garden, honestly, I'm not worried about getting a big yeild, only curious. This is my first grow ever and am just looking to keep a plant alive from beginning to end and procure some sort of viable smoke from it.

Thanks for your reassurance of my little plant being healthy, but the roots look so bad, and slimey!! They don't smell, though.

Again, this plant has 37 days until harvest, I'm hoping to get a bowl out of it!! LOL

wats the point of growing a plant for 4 grams when u can but 7g for 45?

Oh pour, pour 420...the point is, my challenged friend, is that this was more for fun, hobby, experiment then for heving smoke. I can buy weed, as you so intellectually pointed out, this first grow was for fun.

And incidentally, I would be very happy with 4 g's!!!!
