so this was my first grow EVER, i bought the "niwa one" system which is a hydroponic system and used FloraDuo A, FloraDou B, CaliMagic and HydroGuard, also had a Digital Ph tester and used the ph up and down liquid when it wasn't 5.5-6.5, the system had a automatic app that controlled watering, air, light, and humidity. The lights were on 12/12 the whole time. I followed the chart i attached EXACTLY but at week 12 the plants barely had any buds so i continued no nutes just water for 3 more weeks and now the plant is dying. Oh and the plant is a Feminized AutoFlower Big Head Seeds Trippy Gorilla. WHAT SHOULD I DO, I DON'T WHAT THE HECK IM DOINGScreen Shot 2020-09-08 at 9.34.17 PM.pngIMG_5132.PNGIMG_5123.jpgIMG_5124.jpgIMG_5125.jpgIMG_5126.jpgIMG_5127.jpgIMG_5128.jpgIMG_5130.jpg

These plants needed 18 hours of light a day. You fed no nutes for 3 weeks? Give it 18 hours of light and feed it. Please post pics without lights using flash.

Plants always need food so yes, feed it. Autoflowers like 18 hours a day of good light. Plant is in early bloom, feed it half of what it suggests for early bloom. What is that light?

I'm thinking you thought the buds should be bigger due to the timetable the seed bank stated is that correct?

Seed banks give bullshit timetables in hopes of people buying from them. Its a gimmick.

You should get back to what you were doing before you thought the buds weren't big enough. Do you have any pics of then?

yes I literally followed the chart exactly and thought the plant would be ready to harvest By the end of week 12 , now I know better. But now I don’t know how many more weeks to go and what measurements of Nutes

Not a silly question at all. I would go back to what you were feeding at week 7 or 8, plants look to be early to mid bloom. Pistols still stretching a lot. It's your first plant and still alive, be proud. Everyone starts at the beginning, stick around and keep asking questions. Like Wizzlebiz said, welcome to RIU and to a very rewarding hobby.

I can’t control the lighting on this machine it’s automated with a app that I can’t control , it’s the worst thing I could have ever bought and it cost $350. It always keeps the light 12/12 :(

and I guess I’ll start the nutes again according to the chart in week 5 (early bloom), i which there was a chart for nutes for every week until harvest but I figured everyone’s plants are different , it was silly of me to think it only takes 12 weeks ,

and should I continue from week 5 to week 11 and then harvest ?

Continue from week 5 and when you think your close to harvest ask us how much longer you have and where to go with the nutes from here.

There has to be a way to control the lights with the app. I would call the company and figure that out.

Dont sweat it. Many buy things due to good advertising and claims by manufacturers. Search around this site before buying any more equipment or just ask. Add to this post and those who have commented will be notified. We are here to help. Hopefully you can sort out your lights, the box was not meant for autos. The fact is you have a live plant and your equipment is what it as right now. You can still make the best of it and get something satisfying in the end.
