NOW THAT IS A TRUNK!!!
An observation, some nutes seem to stain roots, LK, Flora Nova, ect. Ive MANY times thought I had root rot, but in reality it was just the nutes I use. If I flush for a few days the color goes away (and yet the plants health goes to shit). When you mix up a full (or even half) strength batch of flora nova, the water gets all dark and murky. Plants love it though.

Yup.....thrive alive B1 turns your roots brown overnight. Scared the daylights outta me the first time I used it....now I just use the basic stuff and have good luck....of course, my roots stay white without those supplements like this:
Note the big stem coming out the side of the stalk. These plants fall over on their side, so the roots start growing downward. Looks kinda neat.

I am convinced that coco is where its at for soiless. The roots grow into EVERY single square inch of the medium (as those pics display), and the plants don't seem to display the usual signs of rootbound they get in dirt.
BabyHugie, that coco is lookin phat eh?
great job Hella Fella, you too Stoned2Death. what are your plan when she gets older? i ended up scroggin mine sideways cause they kept fallin over
wont do that again, now i use a netcup and it seems to be fine.
Ya'll come back now, ya hear!

My plan is string! I let them fall over for a bit to get the side shoots coming upward. Then I'll tie the main stalk up and train the rest. Works out good. I should have about 30+ nice sized colas when this run ends.

how do you know the root are heathy and what color should they be. if under meduimless or clayball how often do i have to recircliate the water if i do dwc.
Stoned2Death im hoping for a good number of colas too. my girls fell over early in veg and i fought it for a while before the scrog wtf was i thinkin? lol
-VT- , wheres the meatballs? man you must be cookin ramen for a crowd! 
j/k lookin great man! thanks for bringin by some more porn, come back anytime!
eyeoftruth wassup, the roots are healthiest white but some get stained and are just as healthy. there are threads around here that answer those questions, i would start by searching for Blazeoneup. he's the king of recirculating dwc, his threads are long but you learn alot.
another couple shots of how effective the waterfall effect is. look how the roots on the two separate plants grew towards the trickling returning nutes.

Nice BH! Are they growing in that white bucket? If so, you've got more guts than me, lol. I'll be back later with some new root porn shots. My biggest skunk plant clogged it's return line the other day with it's roots, so it should make some good porn!

The white bucket was to hold the plant while I was mixing up nutes in the actual bucket.

OK! I owe you guys some root porn shots, so here they are. This big root ball is my largest sk#1 plant. Sorry it's blurry, but I had to hold up the weight of the plant in that cramped closet on my knees while taking a photo with one hand! Talk about some McGyver ish! This root ball is so big I could only get so much up outta the bucket for a photo, and we've got another 38 +/- days left on this plant.
And just for fun, here's a root porn shot of the scum widow haze clones in my cabinet.
My only fear now is that because it's so cramped in my closet I won't be able to participate with big root balls. I'll have to use the smaller skunk plant in the front of the closet who's root ball is not quite as impressive, but alas, this big skunk will make her final root porn appearance in this thread at harvest time!
Her roots should be BIG!
