Hey your plants look great!! Don't worry about the roots. Your Karma & Cal-mag are just staining them.

I hope this is right anytime you just suddenly change your nutes your plants need time to adjust. I would ween them back down to just plain RO water (if you have it) and then introduce the new nutes at half strength.

I used both Karma and Cal-mag on my last grow and it did the same to my roots.If your rez starts to smell or your roots get slimy then you should start to worry. From the pics they look perfectly healthy.

Try adding a little Grow w/ the Bloom nutes.And only use 1/2 of
what they call for???

My girls are going great...

!st...are you saying that you did this, or are suggesting to try it? Your suggestion is what Botaincare calls for in transition, which is what I did the first week of flower...Im gonna folier feed with some cal-mag for a few days after the lights go out.

Good Luck.

I've been using Botaincare as well, because it's an organic fert. it will cause your roots to brown, no big deal. I've also been using 1/4 veg and 3/4 bloom to help keep my leaves green. Is normal for leaves to yellow when in bloom, usually from the bottom up it's part of the life cycle. So just add a little veg nutes and it should help...Good growing to ya .

Re: Botanicare Question Roots are holding Nutrients making them brown????

Hard to say the only plant I have in flowering now is a little spindly.It was the only female I had out of 6 and it was grown over by the males, so when I axed the males it had a hard time recovering. The roots were all intertwined and I had to chop em a bit ,shes flowering nicely nothing realy big yet but it's lookin good !I'll try tp post up a pic as soon as I can...
