Just a quick oberservation....

From the few that i've seen that have gotten their plants to stage 2, i think the randomness in the care is beginning to kick in. Reason i say is that a few ppl have their plants at WL: Moist and NL: Low. My plant does not like being at moist. I need to keep the WL: at dry to maintain below normal growth. My nutrient level is low and currently am adjusting that. When i tried to raise the water level, plant went to wilting. Not really sure i want to take the water level below dry.

Question for the people that have achieved "full of life" or "perfect" health: What are the stats on the organics/water you're using?

I'm scratching my head over my smallplant. I can't seem to get past "very good" health and "very slow" growth. I have achieved this state at normal to wet moisture level and normal to above normal nutrients. Anywhere in that range and my plant is stable at very good/very slow. It remains there when I keep the levels there, and goes to "wilting" if I adjust either water or nutrients below or above that level. I'm wondering if it's the quality of the resources I'm using. Forgot to write them down, but the water was like OQ885 and PE950, and the oats are OQ900something and PE500something. Might be good to know whether only extremely high OQ/PE resources can get a plant to "perfect" health.

Thanks!

one of the best things about the plant i have so far is ive found a great way to use up those 100-200 units of resorces i used to just delete.

Day 11+

Full of life

water: wet

nutrients: above normal

Growth: Slow

Insane, I have changed the nutrients/water at an insane rate, and still the growth rate never changes.

Plant 1...

Day 9...still "Small Aurilian Plant"...

Health: Perfect Condition

Growth Rate: VERY Slow

Water Level: Normal

Nutrient Level: Normal

This plant has done nothing but make me want to pull my hair out

I have decided that VERY SLOW is better than DEAD and that if it wants to take 2 weeks to finally grow to stage 2 then so be it

I bought a second one of these, wont tell for how much because it was INSANE price, but it has been most uplifting compared to plant 1, this one must like me because...

Day 2 cont...

Changed into "Aurilian Plant" it grew into Stage 2 in TWO days!

Health: Perfect Condition

Growth Rate: SLOW (this dropped when it chaged/grew)

Water: Below Normal-->added water-->Below Normal--.Added 2nd shot of water-->Normal (needed 2shots of water to get from Below Normal to Normal, hmm, do the larger they get the more you have to give them?

Nutrient: Low-->added flowers-->Low-->added 2nd shot of flowers-->Normal (again needed 2shots to get from Low to Normal)

Day3

Health: Perfect Condition

Growth Rate: Below Normal yay!( I was so scared I would wake to Wilting )

Water: Below Normal-->added water-->Normal (only needed one shot, there goes that Theory)

Nutrients: Low-->added flowers-->Normal

Day 3 cont...

Health: Perfect Condition

Growth Rate: Below Normal

Water: Below Normal-->added water-->Normal

Nutrient: Low-->added flowers-->Normal

I am very pleased with my 2nd plant, Lucky you could say, I'm very surprised that it got to stage 2 in two days, my plant 1 is on its 9th day and still "Small", And another nice thing about plant 2 is I have kept the water and nutrient levels both at normal during stage 1, and seems that, so far, the same for stage 2 is doing the trick

Still a little confused why I had to give it 2 shots of water and nutrients that one time to move it up one level, has anyone else had to do this?

I will keep everyone updated on both of my plants, hope the info might help someone out!

I've got one of the never gonna grow plants.... and I've always had to give it 2 shots of everthing to get it to change one step....

Day 9... Health: Excellent

Growth: Slow

Water: Below Normal

Nutrients: Normal

I didn't get slow growth until I adjusted my nutrients up and it caused my plant to go to wilting..... and then I adjusted them back down and my rate was slow... prior to that it had never passed very slow......

Looks like my plant is the slow kid in class.... but alive and healthy.....

I used 1000 OQ 946 PE 944 FL 827 DR Greens for my nutrients and it went from Below Normal to Normal Growth Rate

Health: Full of LIfe

Growth Rate: Normal

Water Level: Dry

Nutrient Level: Normal

From what ive been reading here and from my experiences (1 day is not going to give much) DR affects how long the nutrient and water stays

usuable. What i did when i first got the plant was to empty it out and use the best stuff i had in water and nutrients. It went from Dry to Very Dry and Normal to Below Normal Nutrients when i checked it 6 hours later.

Water was Talusian 161 DR, 895 OQ. Nutrients were Lokian Wild Wheat 427 DR, 469 FL, 522 PE, 991 OQ. Then i remembered i had the greens in my bank account and am now using that. But at first i started with:

Health: Good

Growth Rate: Below Normal

Water Level: Dry

Nutrient Level: Normal

This went for a whole day until i switched to the 1000 OQ Greens for Nutrients...i emptied it down to Miniscule Nutrients for just a few seconds and then dumped it back to Normal with the Greens. The next change it went from Vibrant and Colorful to Full of Life and the growth rate increased as i said from Below Normal to Normal. I'm now also using higher DR water at 639 DR, 879 OQ.

I would have to disagree with the qualities of the resources making a difference, my 2nd plant I am using OQ:347 DR: 121 Water and OQ:687 PE:24 FL:192 DR:240 Flowers, This plant grew into second stage in only 2 days! And it is at-

Health: Perfect Condition

Growth Rate: Below Normal

Water: Normal

Nutrient: Normal

My 1st Plant I am using OQ:1000 DR:734 Water and OQ:992 PE:787 FL:865 DR: 921 Flowers, This Plant is Still not reached second stage yet and its on day 9! And it is at-

Health: Perfect Condition

Growth Rate: VERY SLOW

Water: Normal

Nutrient: Normal

From observing my 2 plants, I would come to the conclusion that the worst the qualities on the resources are, the better it grows, lol

Anyone else been giving thier plant Low Quality resources and gotten good results?

Well, my plant has thoroughly confused me now. I brought it up to WL:wet NL:above normal and left it for over 24 hours, and it did not get past H:very good. When I took it up to WL:very wet NL:above normal, it began to wilt, so I brought it back down to wet. After about 8 hours the health had gone up to excellent, growth is still very slow. No idea why it didn't improve the first time I had it at those settings, but did very quickly when I increased then decreased the water level. I used the same resources I referenced above, good stats but not fantastic. Perhaps that initial 24+ hours was not enough time for the plant to register the transition from very good to excellent health - another reason to let your plants sit at a level at which you are not getting negative results.

You know, some (real life) plants do very well when you soak them with water and basically let them dry completely before you soak them again. But I doubt the programmers would know that or care enough to code it in...never know, though.

Oh, and as far as I know, every water/nutrient level actually represents 2 doses of water or nutrients (each dose being 25 or 35 units, can't remember which).

Did you completely drain it of water and nutrients? I think the randomness can be factored out if you can start with the same resources every time. I agree that the level of water and nutrients might be random for each plant but if you stick to good resources your going to have better results. Why else do they ask what resource you want to use?

Regardless mine is now another step further and its now another growth rate higher at Above Normal using the best resources i have atm.

I don't think there is a doubt that what resources you use cause some effect... but how do you define good resources...

For instance in my pleasantly slow plant... im using nutrients with 997OQ 993 PE and 692 DR........ One thing I can say for sure is that I can leave my plant for over 24 hours and my water/nutrient levels do not drop......

There are people who have been using what we would normally consider "average" resources that are getting good results....

Maybe it's the type of resource vs. the actual properties... though i do agree that DR appears to have an effect......

I'm wondering if anybody has seen their health/growth rate change.... without your water/nutrient level change..... in other words...

Does the plant change without the resources changing.......

At one point my plant did not change at all for 36 hours..... After being on for 8 hours and checking it every 30 mins I added one shot of water.... walked around for a bit... checked my plant and the health had gone up one spot......but the water was still at below normal....... I'm just wondering if using lower DR or something might make the plant use it faster and maybe even grow faster?....

Just my thoughts on the subject.......
