Auto Shark

Hi! This is my first attempt at growing. I've had house plants for years and have cruised the reddit forums. Fingers crossed my green thumb stays consistent. I ended up germinating two ways with these Auto Shark seeds bred by Pyramid Seeds bought from Seedsman. One using the paper towel method and the other using a jiffy pod in a to-go container. To my surprise the impromptu jiffy pod sprouted in two days, whereas the PT method was a dud. The attached photos were taken today (day 6) since sprouting and transferring directly into a 3 gal fabric pot. I fed her two days ago and the soil is still running moist. I'm using a combo of Happy frog with extra perlite with organic earthworm castings. The flowering time for this seed claims six weeks so I'm curious to seed how this goes. I won an Emerald Harvest nutrient kit so I was planning to give her a third of the recommended dosage from their manual on the third watering. (Only watered once so far.) Humidity has jumped between 50 -80% over the course of the first week. I'm still getting used to my the spacebucket I've been constructing over the past few weeks. Which materials are as follows: -Growstar UFO LED 150W -LEDMO 5630 LED Strip, Daylight -120mm USB Fan (Outtake) -120mm High Speed Muffin Fan (Intake)(Had to buy fan controller for it cuz it was so loud/strong) -NAVADEAL Silver Reflective Mylar Film -(5) 5 gallon home depot buckets I bought a soil ph reader but I think its busted. I've bought a few gallons of grocery store water until I can get a ph reader and am just crossing my fingers the plant will be okay.

She grew! 3rd node was prominent on Day 12. I just went for it when it came to LST. She did great over the weekend after doing so! I ended up topping the following day. Excited to see what happens next week

Great Growth this week! She smells like one of those pine-tree car refreshers lol. My LST on my next growth will certainly be less aggressive... I bent her right into the side of my pot! I'm really curious to see how next week will turn out.

Flower came sooner than expected. So glad I topped her and used LST. However, I had my first f*ck up this week. I noticed spotting on a few of her leaves on D24. I assumed she has a calcium deficiency. I introduced 5ml CalMag later that day. 2 days after removing her from her bucket to get a closer look, she seems to be doing fine. I did remove a branch + some wilted foliage that wasn't getting enough light in my bucket. After the haircut, I rearranged my LED strip closer to the canopy, added an additional spacer, a scrog and will be using a stronger 300w UFO to make this the best flower possible.

She seems to be recovering well from the Calcium deficiency. No additional spotting and the heavy pruning was a good idea. I made some adjustments to the bucket design to minimize the heat from my UFO light.

I had a fellow grower point out how my plant could benefit from lollipopping so I took the plunge and defoliated a-lot! Fingers crossed these buds start to build this week. She seems A-Ok

She's starting to fatten up! really excited to see how much more she changes this week. Eased up on the growing nutrients and have been feeding flower nutrients

She's getting thicker! Flushing her with water now, planning to chop in a week or so?!

She's almost ready! This girl has been a fast grower through and through. The main cola has around 40% amber trichomes whereas the lower sites are around 10% amber, 10% cloudy, and 80% clear trichomes... Her development literally snuck up on me after a 3 day trip away from her. She's been drinking every other day and I began flushing last week. I've maintained a 23-24hr light schedule as well.
