Sizes are still a huge difference but the flowering part seems to be working splendidly and the little ones are embarrassing or anything
Also a pic of my bloom cab with everything in various stages - although a tomato on the left is starting to take things over. I am also gonna get some small rectangular office trash cans to use as containers for the next ones, the round pots take up so much room
Piiiiiiiiiics
:hippy: Nice bud shots Tokudai. IF the smoke is really good, do you think you would try growing the Papaya again but maybe Vegging it longer to get bigger plants? HOw much longer are you going to let them flower? Did you ever check Trichomes yet? Your Set-up is top notch :p , I can't wait until I get my own place :( . Keep Em Big & Frosty :) ...
Wow, they look amazing...
Yeah - I think I will try and reveg one of the smaller ones for clones. They seem to be developing a lot more quickly with the trichomes, plus I'd like to get some better size to them. I checked em tonight, and one of them is almost 50% cloudy - seems real early to me so I'm gonna play it by ear. I have a production run of 12 AI clones ready to go through in a few days, plus I just had a couple of AK48's show female in veg, and the NLxHaze will (hopefully) show any day now. So yesterday I put 4 new Fruit loops, 2 AK48 and 2 AI in. And there were already 3 Papayas, 2 Fruit loops and my tomato. Auuugh I'm gonna take over a bedroom soon I know it :P.. Running out of room in the Bbox heh hurry hurry papaya'sQuote:

I am considering upping to 2-600W lights but I cant find a STD T-15 600W MH bulb.. My cooltube will not fit the ED37 shape bulb :( Blech. At least since I'm using both spectrums I don't have to waste money on enhanced bulbs.
Day 47
No big updates to report. Some bad news, one of the smaller Papayas fell over and broke the stem clean in 1/2. It was all covered in dirt and perlite, it was no fun at all. Rinsed it off in the shower, salvaged the cleaner buds, and threew it in the hashbag :( Fed the other 2 for the last time (I think) tonight and plan on flushing them from here on out. My guess is 65-68 days but we'll see
Only pics of the big one tonight, gotta ton of crap to do for this weekend.
Enjoy and Merry/Happy whatever applies!
Yah man, I heard this strain does that a lot. But it's not a bad thing :D , just have to catch it on time. Be careful with that one plant that broke off early, I also heard that if you get some buds from the Papaya plant early ( anything before 50 days), THe high might get alittle crazy where you might want to hurt yourself and it's not in a good way :o :confused: . I harvested my Top44 plant yesterday, the buds look really good. Not as frosty as the Aurora Indica though, but I'm happy with what I got. It smellls much better then the AI tho, it smells sweet like lemon. I will be a happy toker :jointsmile: . I dropped some piCs for you to see. Stay safe man :thumbsup: ....
Sweet grow man what nutes are you using? I am growing Papaya as well and I thought they could use more nutes too. How much are yolu feeding them?
Blaq - looks good! Green New Years for you. Nice pics, I have that same microscope. I have never tried the Top 44. Dunno what you mean about the early papaya, but lets just say it didn't do near as much as the AI. One of the pots actually fell over cause I'm a dumbass and put it down on the edge, so its not like it fell over from too much bud eheh
Weed4Life - Checked out your grow, nice work! Our papayas look so similar in the budding structure, very "pistilly". I am using Fox Farm nutes - My standard bloom mix is 4 TBS Big Bloom, 2 TSP Tiger Bloom. During the first week and the last 2-3 weeks I also add 1/4 TSP mother of all blooms - its a 1-52-34 Bloom booster. When I add the MOAB I usually cut the Tiger Bloom down to 1 TSP (according to instructions on the MOAB - "May need to reduce other nutrients by as much as 1/2 to avoid burning plants"). I have been using molasses this last grow (1 TBS), but am going to discontinue it since I don't see any different results and I can't stand the smell. The first week of bloom I also add 1/2 tsp of Grow Big, to make sure she has all the N she needs. All these are ratios for mixing with a gallon of water - If I make a 5 gallon batch I will X5 the ingredients of course.
On this last feeding, I did not cut down the Tiger Bloom, and upped the Big Bloom to 5 TBS and she seemed to love it - just the tiniest bit of burn on the tip of almost every leaf, perfect. Pushing her as hard as I can without damaging it. One of them I am going to start flushing, and the other I am going to feed up to the end, to see if theres any difference of taste. It seems silly to me to starve a plant at the end of its cycle when it is putting out the most production, so I have to test this theory myself ;) Won't be the first one I've disproven
