She slowly started growing! Any advice is always welcome (also for future grows (we are just two idiots trying what seems right))

The plant grew rather quickly towards the end of the week, she made a good recovery from the fungus gnats. (The yellow thing is a fly trap and we used nematodes) Any advice is always welcome (also for future grows)

Forgot to take a picture on 19 January. The plant clearly hit the sides of the bucket and stays really bushy. Any advice is always welcome (also for future grows)

Leaves started drooping, no idea why to be honest. Upgraded to a much larger bucket to give her some more space. Slight LST to spread her out a bit. Removed one leaf that was blocking a lot of light to the lower growth. Any advice is always welcome (also for future grows)

Leaves started drooping/curling down quite a bit all of a sudden any idea why? Haven't watered since the curling down started as I guessed over watered but it does not seem to make a difference. Some of the leaves are now pointing straight down hard to get a good picture of those
Solved
Leaves. Curl down

If you just transplanted, this is a symptom of transplant shock, it will come good in a day or three. Otherwise, 0.7 litres of water is barely enough for a plant this size, more liike 2-3 litres at a time. I hope you drilled holes in the bucket for drainage, otherwise this could also be a symptom of drowning. Take your pick of which answer suits what you have been doing! Cheers, Organoman.

She definitely recovered well, had the LED die and replacing it took a day so she didn't get a lot of light on February the first. Noticed some weird spots on the lower leaves, any suggestions? The LST on the main cola went very well I'd say, she now has loads of lights on the lower buds, and a nice staircase structure. Removed a few leaves today that where blocking light to the lower buds.

Upgraded the bucket to have more LEDs, now running 2x50w 3000k and 1x50w 6000k, 4th one is installed but still lacking a power supply. She is definitely growing some bud, however the bottom leaves seem to be dying.

Grow Questions

Bucket_Budsstarted grow question 3 years ago
My lower leaves started turning yellow and drying out, am I having nutrient deficiencies? My guess would be nitrogen or potassium but not sure, had some nutrient burning earlier so cut down on the feeding a bit.

Thanks for the extra info. given that she is an auto use the below link for a reference point on feed strengths. It is not 100% and if you plant is showing that it needs more or less adjust it. https://www.autoflower.net/forums/threads/med-man-method-feeding-chart-ppm-ec.47856/ And EC of .9 is end of veg transition into flower. you could try and bump that up to 1.0ec but just watch it. not all auto like heavy feedings. so next up is the NPK ratio of what your feeding with. as long as its moderate in P and K it should be good but zero N is bad. lower amounts is ideal. something like 2-4-5 is nice. Good Luck!

The buds seem to fatten up and grow a bit, not quite as fast as we were hoping for but should still be a fun harvest! Removed some leaves that where blocking the lower buds, and spread her out so she uses all the available space!
