  1. Utopia Haze/LSD: Day 30 (Combined with First Grow)

    by , 05-25-2010 at 11:11 PM (PuffBomber's Grow Journal)
    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 ...

  2. Utopia Haze: Day 12 (Now with LSD!)

    by , 05-08-2010 at 12:38 AM (PuffBomber's Grow Journal)
    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. I was having some difficulty with germinating the Utopia Haze seeds, which I attribute primarily to my inexperience using rapid rooters, but as a result I'm proud to announce that I've added LSD to the grow. You can see in the photo below that one of the Utopia Haze sprouts has shot up well beyond ...

  3. Getting back on track with hydroton

    by , 05-07-2010 at 11:48 PM (PuffBomber's Grow Journal)
    We had a bit of flooding here in Tennessee last weekend and I've been unable to access the internet to post updates. I wasn't able to monitor the nutrient solution properly so I've had to deal with some yellowing which I believe is due to nitrogen deficiency. I also found that my system wasn't draining correctly so I replaced the pebble substrate with pots of expanded clay pebbles.

  4. Utopia Haze: Day 4 (Still Only One)

    So the one sprout has gotten bigger, but I don't see any sign of the others. Also, I had a sprout in my last batch that was doubled over like this one and it died. Is this normal?

  5. Brown spot on stems (rot?)

    by , 04-29-2010 at 05:30 PM (PuffBomber's Grow Journal)
    So the plants are looking good from the top, however I've noticed a brown spot on the stems that has me a bit concerned. 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?
