Hey fellows the short of it: it’s my first ever grow (first time growing any plant!) and doing 2 Critical Neville’s haze autos and I think I’ve messed up. LED 600w light in biobizz light mix. Feeding biobizz grow/bloom/top max. Ph water always 6.5. But I’ve still nute/light burnt them and think underwatered them due to stupid overthinking. All this led to a serious loss of leaves all around including all fan leaves. It’s day 74 from seed the buds seem ok but can someone please let me know if they think I’m screwed and I’ve messed up too much. Will the buds start fattening up as they look airy at this stage.

When using LED ( blurple special ) , plants require a less feed ... They do not transpire as with other lights , so it's easy to over do things . This is also true with watering ...

Autos are sensitive shits sometimes .... So go a bit lighter with these kind of plants is a better option .

For Example :

Most good soils have ENOUGH Nutes in their mix to carry an AUTO for up to 5 weeks by itself. I grow them with very little input ..... I recently switched from FFOF to a better mix and just water @6.5 and let her do her thing until week 6 THEN I give a good veg feed for that week - it will sex and preflower between day 30-40 . After that transition to flower is finished I feed bloom Nutes til end.

Most autos will finish within 90 days unless " super autos " which run longer.
Sativa heavy strains / hybrids will go longer ( Sativas get better with time ) .
Breeder estimates are GUIDES ONLY - run them as long as you need to mature.
Go by triches only - not time.

You have weeks to go from ACTUAL FLOWERING TIME - NOT FROM SEED.TIME

Looks great to me. Buds don't look airy to me. I'd say in a couple of weeks those are going to really nice.

Thanks Friend it’s my first one so I thought that this is as big as they would go. Still think I could of done a lot better but I’m hooked now and this is my new hobby so I’m sure I’ll get better with time. Yours and everyone’s opinions is invaluable to me so a big thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for that detailed reply and I’ve taken that on board. I think I panicked thinking I should use more nutes or I’m watering too much etc. Now that I got one grow nearly done I’ll be more confident on the next and become more reactive to the plants needs instead of proactive. Thanks.

Wow thanks bro but now I’m thinking was I just lucky!! Did spend a bit on the whole set up mind you but this is all for my personal enjoyment and I’ve enjoyed the whole experience so far, keeps me busy. The prize at the end is just the cherry on top for me (oh and I’ll enjoy just as much trust me haha).

Thanks friend I got a loupe (not a day goes by without checking them I know their not ready but love to look anyway!), just can’t wait till the end. Started reading a lot on killing and curing them and that pic was great btw and thanks for that as I’ll be using that! To be honest I was really surprised with all the good comments as I thought I seriously messed up (hence the thread title) especially when they suddenly outgrew my tent and had to bend them down to get them light while I waited for the bigger tent. Thanks again for the posts and appreciate the pic I think I saw it on groweasy way back when I first researched but I forgot about it so thanks.

Thanks bro I’ll check your thread out. I’ve learnt a lot as i did make loads of mistakes, but one main thing I learned is just don’t panic and overdo things like overwatering (or under), too much nutrients (because I saw a few white hairs or a single yellow leaf) and trying to adjust the damn LED light every 2minutes so “it’s it hitting every bud at the most effective height”!! (Went crazy doing that!)

That's an 80/85 day plant. Not much you can change at this point. Looks like a very good first grow. Educate your self on killing and curing, nothing worse than fucking up the most important part. https://www.deliciousseeds.com/del_en/critical-neville-haze-auto.html

Just wanted to add if you’ve been to that site you quoted I heard the sugar black rose is amazing. I might try doing a photo of those just to try my hand at a photo; alongside an auto sugar black rose next. Would be a good test to see which I’m better suited to.

I will look at that strain, thanks. Dinafem has some GREAT genetics. Try their Original Amnesia if you come across it. Nice yields and a joy to grow. https://www.dinafem.org/en/original-amnesia-autoflowering/

im not doing auto strains but am using LEDs for my first medical grow. (not first grow but alot of firsts with this one) only about 6 weeks from seed but its great information hearing things can be easy over done, im already using a highly diluted nute mix for my larger plants, seeing a tiny yellowing on the lower leaves but no real sign of heavy burn. ive heard more general soil has less drainage, so i would assume that it would be all to easy to overwater knowing that about the soil and LED pannels. mine are not that high watt but im using 3 larger spread ones.
