Super easy to take care of. Very resilient to my inexperienced manhandling. I did a comparison with one plant growing in a spacebucket and another on a windowsill. Spacebucket plant had much more branches and a lot more buds. But because I did not give her any nutrients they stayed relatively small. Lessons learned: 1. Start in the right size pot 2. Better to underwater than to overwater 3. Patience and moderation key to success (and not killing your plant) 4. Nutrients help a lot. 5. There is such a thing as too much light 6. Don't let your plants touch your lights! (cfl, close is ok but contact will mess it up) In retrospect I probably won't use the spacebucket any more. For my consumption I can just have 2 tiny plants growing at all times and that's more than enough. Windowsill plant grew perfectly fine in a 2L pot with around 3-4 h of direct sunlight a day. And looks nice on top of that.

It was awesome to share my findings here! I like the discussions and the feedback from people. Looking forward to my next diary! Like I said above - If you're growing in a spacebucket get nutes and you'll be fine. On a windowsill just don't expect much and nature won't dissapoint you 😀 Peace0

I am also growing Auto King Tut in a spacebucket, and it looks like I'm about a week ahead of you. I saw your pistils came out on D16, but I still haven't seen any on my girl (maybe I'm overlooking them). This is my first bucket/first grow, and I started doing some LST around the end of week 3/beginning of week 4. She seems to be responding fine, but DAMN if her natural symmetry isn't just stunning. I'm keeping an eye on your grow, and I can't wait to compare notes at the end. Hopefully I can pick up some tips and tricks. :D

@okiedokietokie, Final weight was not that much in the end - about 15g. But it was a fun experience! Best of luck with your girl!

@LordWasr, @wilfie I must have gotten a femenized photoperiod by mistake. I had to manually switch to flower. How's your girl, @lordwasr? @wilfie yours turned out great, especially with no nutes! What was the final weight?

I'm looking forward to this, I actually just popped the same seed. She's also going in the Space Bucket too. How long did it take for the seed to sprout? This is my first grow using a seed lol. I have another plant thats in flowering that I received as a clone.

@LordWasr, planting from seed is super exciting and full of anticipation😁 could be that she is getting too much light? I hope everything turns out ok!

@wilfie, Ooo good looks! I'll check that guide out and probably transplant into the main pot this weekend. She finally popped today ! I noticed that the leaves are a bit yellow and burn already -_-

@LordWasr, Took mine about 2 days to break trough. I've heard that autos don't like to be transplanted, so best to plant them directly in their final pot. Check out this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/Autoflowers/comments/20b591/a_simple_guide_to_growing_autoflowers_in_soil/

I have the non auto version of this to grow in the summer - I'd like to see how this one does 👍

@BigDaddyK, you got me there! It's a 2,5l pot, so a bit short of a gallon. I was gambling on a slightly smaller pot to produce a smaller plant without getting rootbound. I'm a bit worried though.

@wilfie, I've heard that - be interesting to see how it compares 👍 All looking good , are your pots big enough ?

@BigDaddyK, looking forward to your diary this summer! Supposedly that strain can get up to 33% thc.

@wilfie, I think i might have to try it out, it would make an ideal space to keep a mother plant for cloning ! and I got plenty of cfls and led strip light handy (probably wrong spectrum though) thank you for enlightening me !

@Prince_Fatty, thank you! Spacebuckets are awesome 😁 ! They have a really friendly community over on reddit with tons of guides and examples. If you like DIY stuff try it out!
