I changed jobs and have had a lot of other projects lately so I haven't posted an update in a couple weeks. The basic overview is that I had trouble keeping up with manual watering so my seedlings have seen a bit of trauma, but I'm confident they'll pull through. While my seedlings were dying of thirst my hydroponic system's nute concentration had gotten a bit high resulting in curled leaf tips and a very dark green hue. I've reduced the nute concentration to about 600ppm and moved the Utopia Haze/LSD ...

We've had record rainfall and deadly flooding here in Tennessee. Internet access and posting updates was the least of my concerns, but things have settled down and it's day 12 of the Utopia Haze grow.

If it were right at the base then I would think that the media was staying too we, but these start above the media. Some of the lower leaves also look a little rough, but the upper parts of the plants are looking so good that I have a hard time believing that something is terribly wrong. Any thoughts? ...
