Yours was a auto if im not mistaking, show me a picture of inside the rez
here is what you can do, just don't pull it too hard, as long as you reach a 65/75 degree angle is fine

I've got 22 nodes sorry and looks like more on the way. I'm shooting for a cured flower that looks wet and glossy, so sticky it's like super glue. If I can get an ounce of something like that, I'm happy. That 5 leaf node I figured could be scrapped. I would strip it off today if I could but I'll wait till I can safely.

Here's the res and there's roots still dropping from the basket.

turn down the air pumps to make the water agitation less. This will reduce the shocks on the roots from the water movement.

Thanks for the tip I wondered about that a couple times.

you want to have air bubles and agitation but not to a point that would shock the plant.

Thanks, that helped. Stalk is no longer hairy white towards the top. I knew it was not right but chalked it up to stress.

The air bubbles and the no food water 1st week was where it all began going wrong. Water saturated all the hydroton from the air bubbles, 1st root stayed in water 24 hrs before nutes added. Then too strong of Nutes. It only got worse from there.

Will never look at a bath tub the same way again now.

Before i simply saw a bath tub in a wasted space...now i see it as precious real estate ha ha.

If you have 2 bathrooms and a very forgiving Wifey you have nirvana

Believe it or not you are doin much better than you think, you had a hiccup or two early on but you still have a very nice young plant, not even a brown leaf to speak of. I was in your shoes a very short time ago, I came here and got the right help and advice now I am able to pass that on, awesome, I don’t even have a plant growin right now but I’m gonna hang out for a while I enjoy helpin others succeed

I appreciate the help that's for sure. I compare this to the skunk plant I had in 88 or 89. This one looks like crap compared to it. Oh, I forgot, this plant is 5 weeks post germ, Friday starts the 6th week. I'm more into quality and aesthetics not so much quantity. I'm looking for a glossy wet looking flower that's super sticky. An ounce of that I think is great but I'm not holding my breath.

I have to count autos in days, for some reason. Your at 35 days, maybe a third of the way with lots of time left. Don’t try anything weird to try to “enhance” the plant in any way, color, frost, gooyness. You can’t make the plant do anything just keep it growin and let it do its thing. You have chosen a difficult grow method with an autoflower plant that most people think will be easy cause it has “auto” in the name, far from the reality they are finicky and very unforgiving. Photoperiod plants can be givin time to recover from errors in the veg state, recover from lst or other training, hell I break branches on purpose instead of just bendin them over and strappin em down its faster and easier on the top branches and they don’t skip a beat. Your gonna get your ounce and then some. I highly recommend a soil grow next time if you have auto seeds left, I have all the stuff and can have my dwc up and runnin in no time but I really enjoyed a soil grow this time, less work, less stuff to go wrong, very enjoyable

I got 4 SD seeds left and I haven't found my next batch yet. I'm buying more seeds but looking for now. I'll probably will go soil because this is a hassle I'm not sure who's more stressed the plant or myself. I do appreciate the help though. Here's a couple weeks back. I reset it and buried it up to the cotydelons since that pic. It was same week though.

Plop a 10 gallon fabric pot in place of your bubble bucket and your good to go, I mix my own soil with cheap stuff from the hardware store

I'm lucky enough to live alone out in the middle of nowhere. I have 2 spare bedrooms and the one room has the plumbing service panel for that bathroom. I was thinking shower for autos and one of the rooms for photos.

I am taking your advice and doing no training this time. I will say this, around 630pm the fan leaves start laying down. By 715pm they're all layed down so much so you'd think it was dying and drowning. Go in and look all the nodes are exposed to the light and by 8pm it's lights out. I'm letting it roll that way.

everyone goes through that period of stress when we don't know what has to be done to make the plant survive. It's a experiment time phase that we all go through. With the help of members it makes this process easier. I was in your shoes too and bought some usless products to make it happen.

At the end I found out that i only needed three things. Water, nutrients and the proper enzyme.
my mix consist of Water, mega crop, z9. These 3 things and dwc system has not once failed me. Got 4 harvest out of soil and six harvest from DWC and now im growing in rockwool to test that method out.

ask your self this, how does one kid grow with no training? How does one grow with school training and what not?

I'm thankful I started with hydro. It was challenging for sure, but I like excelling in areas most cannot. For me, I'll never use anything but water as a medium. It's so easy, and getting easier. I shouldn't be growing plants like I am with less than a year of experience growing.. I gotta pound in 3.5months from seed from one plant, For me.. It's just wild and I couldn't imagine growing any other way.

by far hydroponic growing provides most yield for sure. You can also see the deficiencies or excessive feeding quickly. Something that takes weeks in soil to show.

I know all these mistakes I won't repeat. between you and lil you've gotten me this far and I appreciate it. Reddit had me confused and Dollar General was getting rich off me buying 8 gallons of water daily. I've gotten the recipe down but could of cut some micro. I have another recipe sitting and waiting. I made a bucket this morning so I could see the ppm's using all 3 of the trio. I didn't use it but I did keep it. The node shoots shot up.


I do appreciate the one on one you guys are providing. Thank you.

Oh it's a challenge but worth it. 3.5 months, is that an Auto? Did you do the 12/12? I heard doing 12/12 makes an auto fatten it's flowers just like a photo? That's a big harvest for a grow. I know there's not much room for mistakes getting a pound.

That's a huge issue for me cause I can see this leaf healing and that one going down. It drives up a wall why can't they behave. It's not happening now but was. Thanks for your help to. Lot easier listening to a few instead of many.

I’m a boondocker too cept I have 2 houses

I love to experiment and especially love buildin my own stuff for pennies on the dollar. I honestly feel that my soil grows and hydro grows enhanced each other with the knowledge and experience gained, yall got me wantin to pop a seed and break out the bubble tote
