. . Anyone else always make this mistake? Veg too long

I let them run wild and I just wanted a good root mass ....but now I’m way too far . Lol . It’s a fun pic because a lot of you know the work to maintain these roots for 7 more weeks .

That root mass looks straight up SICKLY. If you let it go Too Long, then I'd expect them to be hugely bulky and shaped like the bucket.
You got room for improvement.

What nutes are you using, is that a stand alone bucket? How many gallons is it and do you just have an airpump and stone fed into it?

Na, you'll be good, no need to worry. Sometimes I veg for that long too...


I used Floralicious+ and that stuff stains the roots brown as you can see. I'm switching to Ful-Power which is supposed to be a much better humic for hydro and doesn't stain your roots.

But Ya... We all make that mistake now n again!

Holy FUCK that's an old picture. Wow. Grand Daddy Purple right there. From original breeders 10 pack. Only female out of the 6 I got to pop.
It has been soooooo long since I used stand alone buckets like that. Never...ever... eVeR again!

Bad ass dude ....yea the top of her is nicev

I use also use humic acid just like my friend the cheif , and it stains the roots brown. Next week I will run a cycle of uc roots thru and it will clean up again . This is part of a twin 10 bucket system . I use heavy 16 full line with hormex ,roots excel , cal mag , uc roots , pro tect. It’s a fully automated remote online controlled system , using igrow master controller ...................... Airwalker 16 there is always room to improve I will be the first to admit that i don’t know everything and if I did then I would be out on some other post off subject and criticizing...also that’s what I call a “service bucket “its a bucket attached to cart that has power and clean uc roots in it . The product can be placed there to do maintainace on its home bucket and if need be can stay awhile. This style of AG is not my favorite this time of year I like the indoor then equinox then outside for going big. ......And here is a pic of the poor sickly plant living off those roots

That looks like more than staining on those roots. There is even some white ones showing. The matted up looking clumpy brown ones probably pull off pretty easy.

These plants are crowded but they are doing good

Nice looking plant

I'm not an expert and I don't know all the products you listed, but if you got some sort of hydroguard or something you should be good (ime), I've never had issues when using that stuff. I've morphed to using Southern Ag garden friendly fungicide, its the same as Hydroguard and (I think) almost 2000× more concentrated, so it's a better deal, I add with every feeding.
