Last week was a turbulent one. She started showing signs of flowering so I turned on the side leds. For some reason this resulted in drooping, and papery leaves. A bit too much light maybe... Against all reason I felt she needed to be transplanted to a bigger pot. Everywhere I looked I was advised against it. But she seemed strong enough and I went for it. With my new pot prepped I waited until nighttime. Checked if the soil was dry, and just before the lights went off I did the deed. She never saw it coming. In one fluid motion I turned her upsidedown, slid the old pot off and nestled her in her new pot. I added finely hand-crushed soil on her sides and completed the act with a generous watering. The response was beyond belief. She took to her new home as if she was born there. Grew about 10 cm in 4 days. Seeing her thrive like that made me feel at ease again. But for how long? I'm still not feeding her any nutrients since she's apparently happy without them. I'm trying to figure out why the leds have such a bad effect on her. I'm guessing an aversion to the light warmth? or maybe because I did not use them from the start? I've seen a bit of information on LED lights providing different results than cfls. specifically in the turning of the color of the pistils. Maybe because she is an auto she enjoys having 2700K light in the spectrum provided by the cfls? So many questions! So short summary of events: -New pot -No nutrients -No LEDs -Happy plant Cheers!

@LordWasr, I am going to the shop today to get an extra bucket. :D When she started flowering she grew at an accelerated rate. Doubled in height in a week or so. I'm expecting her to grow a bit more.

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 ?

@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!
