Hey yo CBH! Things looking good I see.. no worries.. I have my last Nirvana ICE plant growing, as well as two of my new AK48's.

The Ice plant, is just enormously big. Biggest one I've ever grown indoors.. over 4ft tall and 3.5ft wide. Just a monster! She's only 4.5 weeks into flowering too.. so another 5 weeks of flowering.. she's going to put out a great yield I believe. I've also got two of my newly arrived strain going.. whcih is Nirvana's AK48 (feminized of course). Both of which are doing great, except the smaller one. Not sure what she's going to end up doing or looking like.. but I'm going to just let her do her own thing and see what she does.

Anyhow, just wanted to let you know.. whenever you have access to your roots like your showing here.. I know of quite a few old school growers like myself.. that whenever they transplant into bigger pots (or have the plants roots exposed for whatever the reason might be) they actually inspect the roots, which I like to do as well. But! They take it a step further.. they told me that if you see any really dark brown roots.. or dead looking roots.. its wise to trim those out... therefore letting the plant replace the trimmed dead roots, with fresh new roots.

anyone else do this?

I've found that its given me healthier plants in the end.. it makes sense to do this too. Getting rid of old crispy roots.. that are no longer serving a function.. in order to let new root growth take its place. It does work.. but you need a steady pair of hands.. so be careful if you ever try this.

Peace.

This is what products like Hygrozyme claim to do. Dissolves the old root matter back into nutrients that the other roots can take up... basically something will eat those rotten roots, better it be a beneficial that won't attack the plant.


I'm still lurkin chb, lookin good but damn that SLH is a slow grower :lol:

Heyyo man, sorry I havn't posted in a while, I still check in on your journals pretty regularly though, even the first and second WW, its still fun goin back and reading those, lot of good info and some many great pics!!! lol But anyway, this garden looks awsome! The super skunk is bushy bushy bushy and looking great! The Blue Venom looks great, when you look at it from above, looking down on it, the leaves kinda have the round-ish shape of an indica, is that one an indica or am I way off? As far as the Super Lemon Haze, I think it looks amazing as far as the shape of the leaves and the shape of its growth. If possible, just let her keep growing and hopfully she'll grow to be big and strong b/c thats a very interesting looking plant, to me at least and I've herd only really good things about that strain! Definitley be one I would try in the future so my hats off to ya man, good goin and good GROWIN!

Chris, please man, I am begging you to transplant her. Take her out, wash her roots, use new soil & a slightly larger more well aerated pot. I promise you will see good things. At the very least flush her with some epsom salt, it should help the nutrient lock up that's holding her back.

The SS looks fucking amazing! Blue venom is looking good too. Good stuff, can't wait to see some buds!

I agree with rombomb420, its prolly locked out from the nutes somehow and not able to eat. If you have the time and patience and of course the space and lights, keep working with her, those genetics are worth fighting for!

Oh the super skunk is flowering...awsome, keep us posted on her progress!

Man the blue venom is goin to be killer, gotta give a smoke report! lol I bet its a stoner!! heh

I heard you had some Floja! you should pop some of those. Here is my floja f2. I just smoked some that was cured and it is floral tasting goodness and strong. Smells like floral with a hint of sour. Very pleasant.

I have heard from a couple of people now that the purple is in most of the beans so far. It looks to be the right male was used. These F2's yeilded better than the F1's. LOL
Yeah in the first pic it is White bubba (lanky sativa) on top Floja F2 (middle) and White Bubba (candy smelling keeper). I have a whole room full of the bottom 2 nugs.

niiice. -) thats what i like to hear! =D i've never had seeds/plants that produce purple buds. =) im really really excited!! my blue venom pushes out purple leaves all the time at the top of the plant.. like the 1st new set of leaves always come out purple.. but then slowly fade to green. did the floja plants do that at all?? jw if maybe this Blue Venom will have sum purpleish buds.. well like i said in about 3 weeks im gonna plant sum.. cant fucking wait!!! XD i think ill shit myself if the buds turn out as purple as yours! =D

Man I'd be stoked if my Ceres Purple has half that color. Just starting to flower now, but not seeing any purple yet. Not sure how true it is, but I heard when it gets cooler in sept and oct is when the purple starts showing. One of my ladies from an outdoor mix pack has some purple hairs on it already though. I wonder if it will stay like that?

it might?? like i said my blue venom is veggin adn has sum purple on the leaves.. im wonderin if its gonna keep it as well... adnm yeaa the cooler temps can turn almost ANY strain purple.. i saw sum1 growin white widow.. and ran an AC on very low at night (indoors) for the last few weeks of flowering and turned it purple... but plants that are purple strains should turn purple regardless.
